  Truckers Against Trafficking Receives Presidential Award

Yesterday, TAT Executive Director and co-founder Kendis Paris accepted the Presidential Award for Extraordinary Efforts to Combat Trafficking in Persons from U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the Interagency Task Force meeting in the historic Indian Treaty Room.

 

 Paris received this award “for her leadership of Truckers Against Trafficking and her sustained efforts to transform the Nation's transportation sector by inspiring professionals in the trucking, busing and energy industries to combat human trafficking.” 

 

"On behalf of all professional drivers, truck stop and bus terminal employees, I gratefully accept this award,” Paris said. “It is their daily efforts to recognize and report potential trafficking cases that are making a difference in the lives of victims across our nation. I'd also like to thank the diligent and passionate members of the TAT team for their tireless work in moving our mission forward, as well as the USDOT for the nomination and their efforts around the advisory council this year, whose report recommendations we hope become widely implemented."

 

Congratulations to the entire TAT team!

FMCSA Under 21 Military Driver Pilot Program 


At the request of FMCSA’s leadership, I’m writing to encourage you to consider applying for FMCSA’s Under 21 Military Driver Pilot Program, which would help alleviate the driver shortage by allowing qualified 18, 19, and 20-year-old military reservists, National Guard, active duty service-members, or veterans with applicable truck driving experience to drive CMVs in interstate commerce.

The Agency had hoped for participation from approximately 70 motor carriers, but only 9 have been approved for the program so far.  To help advance our industry-wide goal of broadening the labor pool of safe drivers to include 18, 19, and 20 year olds, we would greatly appreciate your participation in this program. FMCSA specifically reached out to the industry for support with this, so we are hoping to encourage members to participate.

Motor carriers interested in participating in the pilot should complete an application and submit it to Under21Pilot@dot.gov.  Additional information can be found here, and questions may be directed to Jay Lim at jlim@trucking.org
