Chicago, Illinois — Truck drivers across the nation are stepping out of the cab to join associations and charities that strengthen the industry.

Drivers spend more than 14,000 hours a year behind the wheel, but the road is only one part of their lives. Community engagement offers a chance to build support networks, share knowledge, and give back to the places they serve. By joining organizations or volunteering, drivers can improve safety, secure better benefits, and help shape the future of trucking.
