     The Tell City Parts Department recently purchased a 2011 Isuzu truck to use in the transportation of parts between our out-lying locations and the main office in Tell City, Indiana.  The new truck is snub-nosed style with a cargo box attached.  Traditionally, the company has purchased Ford or Chevy models, and the Isuzu definitely has it’s own ‘unique’ look as compared. 

     The company chose the Isuzu style because it offers better fuel mileage and a more compact design for hauling cargo.  The new cab style allows us to keep the bed length to our specifications, including an area for a cargo box that helps keep our freight dry during rainy days.

Watch for our newest parts truck, the white 2011 Isuzu.

  Mulzer Crushed Stone, Inc. employee Bill Taylor and his wife Ann got an opportunity to meet a very important American while vacationing in Maine over the summer.  While visiting Acadia National Park off the coast of Maine, President Barack Obama made a stop in the same area they were viewing within the park.  President Obama was vacationing with his family as well, but made time to say hello to the Taylor’s and others viewing a breathtaking overlook at Acadia.
