Trucker Advocacy video contest- Making a Difference

Announcement for All drivers who want their voices heard about the topics concerning them within the trucking Industry.

WATCH and SCORE CONTEST VIDEOS

We want to invite you to be a part of a unique Video Advocacy campaign using Social Media and Video to share the truth about driver experiences within the trucking industry.

It is our goal to share the facts and reality through video regarding many of the vital issues that face the industry, specifically the issues which affect the professional driver

The media does not always accurately share much of the circumstances which include truck drivers. Many times this is because they are unaware of the truth involving a lot of the reality that face professional drivers, and only hear what “Big Industry” and or lobbyists tell them. This holds true for those in Congress also, who many times are surprised when they hear the “different side of the story.” It’s up to us to educate everyone.

Let’s make them aware.
