NASHVILLE, Tennessee—Volvo Trucks North America recently announced that it will continue to sponsor the ATA America's Road Team for 2025, marking the 23rd consecutive year of exclusive support. Volvo Trucks' commitment to the trucking industry was highlighted during American Trucking Associations’ Management Conference & Exhibition.
America’s Road Team, established by the ATA in 1986, is a nationwide outreach initiative that recognizes the role of the nation’s truck drivers in supporting the economy and enhancing quality of life for all. Since 2002, Volvo Trucks has been the sole sponsor of this program.
Every two years, America’s Road Team selects a group of drivers to serve as captains. These individuals, chosen for their safety records, driving skills, and dedication to the profession, embody the highest standards in the industry. The 2025 Road Team Captains will be among the first to operate the all-new Volvo VNL, which they previewed at the Volvo Customer Center in Dublin, Virginia, earlier this year.
As they travel across the country, these captains will play a role in educating students, community groups, legislators, and the general public on the importance of road safety and the essential nature of the trucking industry.

“Our Road Team Captains have logged millions of accident-free miles; a testament to their dedication to safety, which aligns with our vision at Volvo Trucks of zero accidents—a future in which no Volvo Truck is the cause of an accident,” Peter Voorhoeve, president of Volvo Trucks North America, said. “These professional drivers have demonstrated that with safe driving practices, we can make the roads a safe place for trucks, passenger cars, and other road users like pedestrians and cyclists. The members of this outstanding group serve as champions and role models who represent what being a professional truck driver is all about.”
In support of the 2025 America’s Road Team campaign, Volvo Trucks is donating a fully equipped all-new Volvo VNL 860 sleeper to haul the ATA Interstate One mobile classroom as it visits cities across the nation. The all-new Volvo VNL was designed to revolutionize the heavy-duty trucking industry and set new standards for safety.
“The all-new Volvo VNL is the truck designed to change everything, just like these captains are the ambassadors for change and constant improvement in their profession,” Voorhoeve added. "We are confident that the all-new Volvo VNL is the safest, most connected, and most fuel-efficient Class 8 truck ever built, making it the perfect partner for our America’s Road Team Captains. These men and women deserve our respect and recognition for all they do to deliver essential goods and materials safely and securely, day after day.”
