Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) began in 2009 with the understanding that truckers are critical frontline observers in a unique position to disrupt human trafficking. “…research shows that traffickers wanting to make fast money often target truckers at truck stops and rest areas (because they’re everywhere and easy to reach right along highways) to sell their victims.”
“TAT believed that if the trucking industry were empowered with education and equipped with tools to fight human trafficking, they would be quick to mobilize against this crime. They could do their part to see victims recovered and perpetrators arrested. Members of the trucking industry could be everyday heroes in the course of their jobs and make a significant impact against the criminal activity of human trafficking. Perhaps they might even have a greater impact than the average person, because of their mobility and training.”
TAT has created a specific website for DAT customers. Visit https://education.truckersagainsttrafficking.org/dat/.
