RJ Taylor says Alcoa is
the only wheel brand his
1951 Kenworth has ever
run. The truck pulls a
53-foot “rolling
billboard” trailer
– also on Alcoa

sponsor logos. The rig
is the stage for the Ol’

truck inspections and
other safety talks at
tradeshows, truck stops,
schools and other community
events. Learn more about
