How trucking has given back in 2021

Dec. 22, 2021
During the second year of the pandemic, companies and organizations within the trucking industry have continued to provide its community with support when it’s needed the most. Trucking Moves America Forward shares their stories.

Trucking Moves America Forward (TMAF) has created a year-in-review for the trucking industry’s charitable acts throughout this holiday season and 2021 as a whole. Trucking companies and organizations submitted their stories of charitable works to TMAF after an industrywide call for submissions through email and social media.

“Over the past year, our industry and nation have all faced extraordinary challenges as we recover from economic hardships from the global pandemic and work around the clock to prevent supply chain disruptions,” said Kevin Burch, co-chairman of TMAF and VP of government affairs and sales at MTS.

“Despite these challenges, our frontline workers in the trucking industry have shown consistency and resilience by keeping a steady hand on the wheel to keep our nation moving forward," Burch continued. "We are proud to help our communities stay healthy and safe by ensuring the delivery of food, medicine, and other essential supplies.”
