Mike Jeffries of The Joseph A. Jeffries Company attends the event.

Highway Equipment Company of Ohio held a Bell Truck customer lunch on March 2 at its new facility in Canton, Ohio. Customers came to tour the new facilities, visit its offices, meet the company's people, see live demonstrations, kick the tires and operate the new Bell B50E 50-ton (45 t) articulated trucks. These new Bell B50D 50-ton articulated trucks are the first and only 50-ton articulated trucks available in Ohio. The trucks are available to rent or purchase.

More than 40 customers attended. Many of the customers got in the Bell Trucks and drove them around the property. Along with the Bell articulated truck presentation, customers learned about all of the latest in equipment technology that Highway Equipment Company of Ohio has to offer for rentals and sales. Everyone enjoyed a fantastic BBQ lunch from “Old Carolina BBQ”.
