This year we were approached by Lone Mountain Truck
Leasing. They had heard about Trucker Charity and were very interested in
helping but didn't quite know in what capacity. When we forge these
partnerships we want to give our sponsors a lot of bang for their buck to show
the appreciation for their support. Beings that we had formed a trucking side
of the charity to help in our educational mission (TCI Transport) we have 3
huge ways of giving that bang. This year at MATS we were able to show off this
bang, a 53’ rolling bill board, on one of TCI Transport’s trailers. Lone
Mountain Leasing out of Pacific Junction, Ia has generously signed on to fund
Trucker Charity with a monthly donation and has wrapped one of our trailers
with their logo and information to solidify the partnership. Thanks to their
generous monthly donation we will be able to continue on our mission of Get’n
them safe, Get’n them fed and Get’n them home and help more drivers and their
families in need. Lone Mountain Truck Leasing is a true leasing company which
goes by more than your “I love debt score” (credit score). They take into
account your good work history at a greater level than credit score. They
provide the truck, you provide the carrier that you want to lease to. With Lone
Mountain you’re not in a lease with the same company that controls your freight
lanes. Lone Mountain allows you to take the truck off site to a mechanic of
your choice to have it checked out before you sign the dotted line. They have
some great equipment to offer someone looking to jump over to the O/O side of
the industry as well as for those looking to replace some tired equipment.
We have experienced great interest in them while the
charity truck stops at fuel stops and shippers/receivers. Tony Hamilton has all
the information with him and will be glad to explain how they work. So if you
see a giant Peterbilt jumping off of a trailer coming right at you, stop Tony
and get the low down.
While the economic slump has driven many small carriers and owner-operators out of business, others have seen surprising success in their business – simply by using all the features in their load boards.
A load board is a web-based search engine where drivers post trucks and find freight. Like an internet dating service, carriers meet shippers and brokers online. Some carriers use a load board to book every trip and others use it for back hauls. ...
While these boys' dad is out delivering groceries for other families his own family got a special delivery. It warms our hearts here at Trucker Charity to know that these boys won't go to bed with empty bellies. This family is getting a hand up out of the rut we all get stuck in from time to time. Making sure the bills are paid with little left over for food.
Special thanks to volunteers Rodney and Syndi Bartlett.

the past 29 years the community of Belleville, IL has come together
to support Charity. The town of Belleville has been hosting the Chili

located throughout the Chili Cook Off. The event is hosted each year
