Charity for Truck Drivers Seeks Donations
Albuquerque, December 22, 2014 (Newswire.com) - "Honey, what if something happens while your out on the road?"
This question is asked by family member's of those that drive the nations highways and interstates every single day. The unsung hero's of our economy that face ever changing weather conditions, roadway congestion, increased regulatory demands and the stress of todays on time delivery world. The North American Truck Driver.
In some instances, Truck Drivers can be away from home for weeks at a time.
But what happens when something bad happens? Statistics show that over 800 Truck Drivers are killed in highway collisions each year, and as many as 20,000 are injured. Now these are just the highway collision numbers. There are others that perish from natural causes in their rigs, others that commit suicide, those that are killed in commission of a crime, and so on.
Many more Drivers are hospitalized due to on the job injuries, sudden emergency medical episodes and more.
So if a Driver's home is in Denver, and an emergency happens, say, in Atlanta, how are you going to get to their side? Right Now?
