I joined in August of 1978 a week after I bought my first VAN. They taught me what is is to be a VANNER. I enjoyed all the activities we did together over the years, especially hosting PA DUTCH Truck-Ins! Many of us got together last August for a "Reunion" and it was like we had never been apart. I've made lifelong friendships through this Club and treasure them to this day. HAPPY VANNIVERSARY, TRUCKERS UNLIMITED ALL RIGHT!!!
