Consistent with our culture of giving back and demonstrating our commitment to responsible practices, our transportation company recently had its drivers certified as part of the Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) program. During our regular safety meetings, our drivers have been trained in the program requirements and specifics. Our drivers have been educated on the signs of human trafficking and what to do if they suspect it and play a vital role in combatting this crime.
Truckers against Trafficking exists to educate, equip, empower, and mobilize members of the trucking industry to combat domestic sex trafficking as part of their everyday jobs.
Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) helps fight sex trafficking on behalf of the entire transportation industry. TAT works to educate and equip those who travel along truck routes to identify and report suspected sex trafficking through an anonymous national hotline. This simple act makes the roads safer and helps recover innocent victims. When truckers are TAT Trained, they make more reports to the hotline, more victims are recovered, and more pimps prosecuted.
Moving products from Point A to Point B is critical to helping the country thrive. Without American roadways, products do not get into the hands of American businesses and customers. Ground transportation continues to be an efficient and reliable way to transport products and merchandise. Yet, realities exist along those roads that demand attention. Victims of all ages and genders are being forced into prostitution and exploited at locations transportation professionals frequent, including rest areas, hotels/motels, truck, and even places where drivers are delivering their loads.
One in four victims are children. Innocent victims are regularly moved from point-to-point, just like products and merchandise. These victims are relying on those around them, in these critical locations, witnessing these crimes taking place and knowing how to act. With one simple decision, we can help put an end to domestic sex trafficking along North American roadways.
Truckers Against Trafficking is mobilizing an entire network by educating and empowering transportation professionals to recognize and report human trafficking to reduce this exploitation. Members of the trucking industry are in a unique position to actively support this mission and to demonstrate our deep commitment to this country and the safety of its citizens.
This program is effective, and victims of sex trafficking are becoming survivors, and their exploiters are being arrested and prosecuted. Reporting this crime rescues victims and brings their perpetrators to justice. America’s trucking industry is taking a proactive stand against commercial sex slavery and making a substantial impact to end it. Truckers across the country continue to provide tips to the hotline that are helping return freedom to survivors. The cruel reality of human sex trafficking in America is all too real for the young innocent victims and their families.
Full Tilt drivers are fully trained and always on the lookout for potential victims of these terrible crimes. Contact Full Tilt today for a true partnership and reliable resource for all your transportation needs.
Obviously, the past several weeks have had a devastating impact on individuals, families, local and state governments, our national economy, and well-being. Along with the wreckage of the greatest economy in the world, many Americans have experienced a toll on their lives and related social issues have been significant. No one saw this coming.
The COVID-19 situation has significantly impacted Full Tilt and we have had to furlough employees and do more with less. Over the last several years, we’ve provided transportation services to many large trade shows, exhibits, and other large events. This year, these events came to an abrupt stop, forcing us to move in other directions and get creative in our ability to navigate through the situation. Many customers have stopped paying, yet we continue to pay our carriers and drivers. How long this will last is uncertain.
On a positive note, we have been able to be part of the solution to keeping critical support services moving through the supply chain. This has been extremely rewarding for our company. In addition to moving critical items, we have been partnering with FEMA and called into action to fulfill contracts and provide support services during this deadly virus outbreak. Full Tilt’s partnership with FEMA goes back to Hurricane Harvey and we have seen firsthand the devastation nature can bring. The current situation is much different.
Our drivers and carriers are critical in maintaining the lifeline supply chain. As sickness and death surround everyone, people realize that logistics and supply chain operations are needed for survival with a sincere appreciation for the trucking industry. As part of the supply chain industry during these times, we are thankful to be able to do our part. Every day we see or hear about an act of selflessness completed by someone making their contribution to the fight. We are so thankful to our drivers and carriers who continue to drive. Their commitment and willingness to stay on the road during this time keep supply chains open. It’s uplifting to know that people are communicating and collaborating as needed to service our frontline responders, our foodservice industry, and other vital needs. We are proud Full Tilt Logistics is supporting the needs of FEMA and other industries responding to the war with the virus.
Full Tilt Logistics is known in our community for shipping freight throughout Nevada and across the country. We can help any business size from Mom & Pop stores that are going to reopen to FEMA and other government agencies. Through our ability to react in this crisis, we have demonstrated that we change as business needs dictate. At Full Tilt, we hope everyone stays safe. Keep on trucking for the win against COVID 19!
