National Human Trafficking Awareness Month:
Calling All ICSA Everyday Heroes!
January is National Human Trafficking Awareness month. ICSA members who get trained and certified by TAT by the end of January will receive an ICSA hat.
Register now and take the free 30-minute online training and quiz to get certified. When TAT notifies us that you are trained, we will send you your hat!
Human trafficking is everywhere truckers go- on the road, in truck stops and rest areas, in restaurants, even near delivery locations. While more than two million personnel have taken the TAT training, we cannot have too many eyes out there looking for this modern-day slavery.
You could be that one person who saves a victim from a lifetime of being held hostage and trafficked. Take 30 minutes today and get TAT-trained!
Winter is Here!
Here are some tips to ensure safe driving this winter:
- Drive at a reasonable and practical speed for the conditions.
- Increase your following distance.
- Do not use cruise control in adverse conditions.
- Use three points of contact when entering and exiting your truck.
Jackknifing and running off the road are the most common accidents during this time of year. Be prepared and stay safe out there!
