Work Zone Awareness Week
Work zone crashes can be very costly and dangerous, often resulting in injury or even death. Studies of work zone crashes show that most can be avoided. Here are tips to help avoid these incidents.
Get TAT-Trained, Get a Hat and More!
January is National Human Trafficking Awareness month. ICSA members who get trained and certified by Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) by the end of January will receive a spiffy new ICSA hat and be entered into a drawing for a $500 gift card.
Go to ICSA’s website at www.safecarriers.org, click on the link in the TAT banner to go to ICSA’s page on the TAT website and take the 30-minute online training and quiz to get certified. When TAT notifies us that you are trained, we will send you your hat and enter you into the $500 drawing.
Human trafficking is everywhere truckers go – on the road, in truck stops and rest areas, in restaurants, even near delivery locations. While more than a million trucking personnel have taken the TAT training, we can’t have too many eyes out there looking for this modern-day slavery.
You could be that one person who saves a victim from a lifetime of being held hostage and trafficked. Take 30 minutes today and get TAT-trained! Click the link below to read about how professional truck driver Arian Taylor helped a young woman escape being trafficked and get back home.
