ANA, Calif., Sept. 1,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Centerline Drivers is proud to
announce our official partnership with Truckers Against Trafficking
(TAT).
Through this partnership, our truck drivers will be trained and
certified in how to combat human trafficking directly on our
Centerline mobile app. We will also be building programs and
initiatives for our customers and internal teams to get involved in
helping with this fight.
This partnership is launching during September, Respect the
Drive Month, our truck driver appreciation program that rewards and
celebrates drivers for their hard work on and off the road.
Sept. 1 is National Respect the Drive
Day, and we hope to honor our commitment to our drivers by helping
them receive this critical training.
"I'm so excited for this partnership with Truckers Against
Trafficking," said Jill Quinn,
president of Centerline Drivers. "I know this training is going to
be a gamechanger for our drivers, customers and internal teams. It
will enable us to do our part to help combat trafficking on the
road."
"Centerline is well-positioned to raise awareness with their
customers and drivers about the realities of human
trafficking, and we commend them for taking this opportunity during
driver appreciation week to do just that," stated Esther Goetsch, TAT executive director.
"By celebrating drivers, amplifying the
message and making training readily available through
their app, we are extremely hopeful that their efforts
will result in more victims being recovered and
perpetrators being arrested."
At Centerline, we are committed to educating and empowering our
drivers, customers and internal teams to combat human trafficking
on the road.
