American Trucking Associations announced it is seeking nominations for professional truck drivers to serve on the 2015-2016 America's Road Team.
Every two years, ATA searches for professional truck drivers, both men and women, who are willing to take time away from the cab of the truck to serve as an industry ambassador. As America's Road Team Captains, these professional drivers take a few days each month to meet with the motoring public, the news media, students, transportation officials and public policy makers to demonstrate the trucking industry's commitment to safety, the essentiality of the trucking industry and the industry's sustainability record.
In addition, Road Team Captains appear at events ranging from driver safety meetings to National Truck Driving Championships to reinforce the importance of safety and professionalism in our industry.
Since 1986, America's Road Team Captains have traveled the country educating millions on the importance of safety, the essentiality of the industry and the need for pride and professionalism within trucking.
To nominate a professional truck driver, please carefully read the eligibility requirements and fill out the nomination form found at: www.americasroadteam.com.
