Life And Death
On The Road.
Trucking is one of the most dangerous professions in America. Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a story that doesn't end at the end of a shift.
This page is about what we owe them — during life, and after.
Drivers Die On The Road.
Truck driving is consistently ranked among the most dangerous professions in the United States.
Drivers face long hours, dangerous conditions, fatigue, isolation, and health risks that compound over decades on the road.
Some come home tired. Some come home sick. Some don't come home at all.
Every One Of Them Matters.
Bringing Drivers Home.
When a driver dies on the road, getting them home to their family is rarely simple. Distance, paperwork, and cost can leave families navigating impossible logistics during the worst week of their lives.
Organizations across the country are working to make sure no driver is left behind.
Truckers Final Mile
A nonprofit dedicated to bringing professional truck drivers home to their families when they cannot complete the journey on their own.

The Industry Is Starting To Change.
Across trucking, new systems are emerging to improve access to healthcare, fatigue reduction, preventative wellness, emergency support, and long-term driver sustainability.
Trucker First didn't build these systems. We exist to connect drivers to the people who are.
Everyone Has A Part To Play.
Whether you drive, run a carrier, or simply depend on the people who do — there's a way to stand behind drivers.
