Nothing Without Trucking

It’s an exciting time to be in trucking! Just ask Lindsey Trent, Co-Founder and President of the Next Generation in Trucking Association. Lindsey works with educators in high schools, community/technical colleges and private schools to help launch training programs to engage and educate the next generation of trucking professionals. #nothingwithouttrucking

Today’s road story comes from one of the industry’s best. Wayne Crowder, professional driver with FedEx Freight has been an America's Road Team Captain since 2007, has over 4 million safe driving miles under his belt, and is the only rookie to ever earn the title of 'Grand Champion' at the National Truck Driving Championships. As he prepares to retire at the end of this year, the American Trucking Associations recently announced the creation of the ‘Crowder Cup,’ an award that will be given to future captains who reach Wayne’s extraordinary standards. #nothingwithouttrucking

The #trucking industry is proud to provide a professional home for military #veterans, where they can apply their skills and experience to serve our nation in new ways. #NothingWithoutTrucking

Trucking is an industry full of unique journeys. Lual Akoon is one such story. After escaping civil war in his home country of Sudan, he emigrated to the United States, where the trucking industry put him on the road to realizing his American Dream. Thank you, Lual, for sharing your inspiring and personal story. #NothingWithoutTrucking #AmericanDream #Trucking

In the Wake of Disaster, Trucking Delivers Hope 🚛🙏 When natural disasters like #HurricaneHelene strike, the trucking industry rolls into action. Across the country, selfless drivers & companies donate their time, resources & expertise to deliver critical relief supplies to our neighbors in need. Today, we're spotlighting one of our own—professional driver Herschel Evans, who drove the American Trucking Associations’ Share the Road truck to a staging area in Augusta, Georgia, this morning to deliver 4,400 gallons of non-perishable milk.

One week ago, torrential rain from #HurricaneHelene blanketed the southeast, burying many communities under several feet of water and mud. We witnessed human tragedy unfold as the death toll mounted and families’ possessions were swept away. But as is so often the case in the wake of catastrophes like this one, we have also seen countless examples of neighbors stepping up to help. It is the nature of America’s #truckingindustry to be among the first on the scene following natural disasters. Only a few hours after the scale of the devastation became apparent, we began delivering aid directly to affected towns wherever possible. This storm has proved more challenging than most, with a wide swath of infrastructure literally wiped off the map. We continue to work around the clock with local authorities to stage relief and surge it wherever is needed most as the road network reopens. Thank you Load one, Dillon Transportation, Atlas World Group International, M&W Transportation and all drivers and companies volunteering their resources and expertise to deliver for our neighbors in need.

If you don’t have truck technicians- you don’t have a trucking industry. It’s really that simple. #ThankATech #TruckingHeroes #NTAW24
