What's New at IBT 776 The Susquehanna Valley Chapter of the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) recently hosted the 27th annual John Hiestand Memorial Antique Truck Show in Carlisle, Pa. on August 31st. Local 776 Members, the father-son duo of Jeff and Kraig Keller, invited Local 776 to participate. Local 776 Vice-President Chalmer Edgin and Member Austin O’Brien, both drivers of the Local’s truck, spent the day hanging out with and greeting the owners and drivers of the many trucks that were on display. Many of the trucks were retired freight trucks from Union carriers of the past! While The Local’s tractor is not an antique just yet, it was welcomed to the event, allowing show spectators to view and compare vehicles from different eras.
The Susquehanna Chapter of the ATHS was founded in 1992. Currently, Kraig serves as President, and his father, Jeff serves as Treasurer. The chapter currently has 110 members that meet once a month. In addition to the truck show other social events are held including an annual picnic for the members. Many Members own, restore, and maintain antique trucks but it is not a requirement for membership, just an interest in antique trucks and to meet with others who share that interest! If you’re interested in learning more about the Local Chapter Kraig can be reached at 717-332-7669.
Commented Local 776 President Ed Thompson: "Thanks to Kraig and Jeff for the invitation to the show. As the motto on the Local’s trailer states, “Our History Creates Our Future.” Participating in the show helps the public remember the Teamsters Union is a large part of the Trucking Industry past and present"
Local 776 VP Chalmer Edgin gave spectators a view of and answered questions about the Local’s truck.

“On behalf of the officers, agents, staff, and myself I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Labor Day. American Labor; it’s what built this great country of ours. America became a world leader thanks to the men and women who built it. No matter where you work or what you do your effort is part of the big picture; shaping your and your families’ lives so that our children, our future leaders, can use what we provided them to better themselves, and so on for the next generation. That’s what makes our country so great, building the American dream. For the American Worker today is your day, Be proud of what you do, and take a moment to reflect on what you do and how it impacts your family and those around you.
Fraternally,
Ed Thompson,
President Teamsters Local 776
Recently Brad Miller retired from the Red Lion (Pa), Municipal Water Authority after 32 years on the job as a Teamster Member. During his time on the job, Brad was a long-time Local 430 and Local 776 Union Steward. While working for the Water Authority Brad worked in the filtration dept., repaired water line breaks, performed general service on the water lines, and maintained nine sanitary sewer stations. Brad and his wife Wendy have one child and one grandchild. With Brad around more since retiring, they will all be looking for some additional quality time with him.
Being retired will allow Brad to spend more time with his hobbies, primarily hunting but with a little fishing mixed in to keep him active. Brad and Wendy spend time camping with their travel trailer and have been out twice already this year. Looking back on his 32 years with the Teamsters Brad stated that “it was great working with the Teamster establishment.”
From everyone at Local 776 congratulations on your retirement Brad, 32 years is quite an accomplishment. May you enjoy every day of your retirement!
