Greetings and welcome. In about 12 hours, our biggest (yet) media coverage will be available. With the largest readership in the Trucking Industry, our article in "The Trucker" should reach about 100,000 +- people. Hopefully, enough support will be generated to help us move forward with our Mission.
This is about you. This is to answer that age old question .."Honey, what if something happens while your out on the road?"
So, I'm asking everyone that has been following us to please continue to help get the word out, like and share this page, we might put a blurb out there on twitter@finalmile .... get a copy of "The Trucker" for your boss, and comment freely either here, through the threads at TruckingTruth, or just call Robert at 505 288 2282.
And of course donate!! ...where you ask? DONATE at PayPal, GoFundMe, truckersfinalmile P.O. Box 53624, Albuquerque NM 87153, and if you have a car, truck, boat, computers, office furnishings, call 505 288 2282 for more information.
The article in "The Trucker" will be available at thousands of truck stops across the country, and on line at The Trucker. We will of course be linking to the article just after midnight tonight.
Stay tuned, stay safe ... and please donate today!!!!!

Check out the article about the Trucker's Final Mile in the new issue of The Trucker magazine. Click the link for an online version, or pick up a paper copy in a truckstop near you.
Anchorman, I edited the link you put so that it now takes people straight to the article. Took me about 20 minutes to find it because I had to "thumb through" that awful online flash version of their magazine.

TT On Facebook
Well folks, it looks like Robert has done all the hard work for you. He posted all the important stuff you would need to research. So what do you think? Tell me in the comments below.
If you are wondering, I have no affiliation or obligation with this charity. I first stumbled upon it over on the CDL Life website. After reading the story and doing my own research, I felt moved to share the info with my fellow TT members. I also made a personal donation to try and get the ball rolling. I have no other connections with the Trucker's Final Mile organization.
As Robert stated, they have had to turn away four different cases due to lack of funding. Just the thought of that kills me. What if that had of been one of us? I could only imagine what it would be like trying to get home from all the way across the country to see a loved one in an emergency. Or vice versa, a loved one trying to get across the country to see you in an emergency. What is your personal plan for this type of scenario? Has it even crossed your mind? Do you expect your company to pay your way?
These are the questions and answers I want to hear from you. So let's talk about it. Leave your response in the comments below. Drive save and be careful out there!
