Capitol visitors may find their path through the courtyard changed a bit today as truckers brought their big rigs in as part of Trucking Day.

Several 18-wheelers are parked between the old and new capitols, along with new and antique fire trucks, and other large vehicles that rely on non-traditional fuels.

Rides in tractor-trailers are also offered to officials, and kids and others have a chance to ride a fire truck.

Booths, meanwhile, are handing out information about safe driving practices and use of experimental fuels — along with plenty of statistics about trucking’s economic impact and benefits to Florida.

Both chambers are in session this morning, but staff and other visitors were on hand to check out the big engines. Legislators might get a chance to be taken for a ride during lunch breaks.
