Good Stuff, Trucks Bring It™
Decal Program Slide Show

GE's recent commitment to place Good Stuff, Trucks Bring It™ decals on 10,000 rental trailers to support the American Trucking Associations identity campaign is well underway. (Read the May 2006 release here.)

With over 100 branch locations and a fleet of over 135,000 trailers, GE's Trailer Fleet Services is in a unique position to make a broad impact on the ATA identity campaign.

Watch a slideshow of Trailer Fleet Services mechanics across the U.S. proudly affixing decals on our trailers. The decals will continue to be affixed to our rental fleet throughout the summer as units become available.
