What is Tennessee's Road Team?
Tennessee's Road Team is a state-wide highway safety program sponsored by Tennessee Trucking Association, a membership organization representing 500 firms involved in transportation.  The Road Team is composed of a small group or professional truck drivers with superior driving records and a desire to spread the word about safety on the highway.

Why was this program created?
Tennessee's Road Team was created to teach the general driving public about the importance of highway safety.  Our Road Team Captains teach safe driving tips and give advice on how to share the road with an 18-wheeler.   They can also discuss the importance of trucking to our nation's economy and the opportunities presented by a career in transportation.

What does Tennessee's Road Team do?
Road Team Captains - many having more than one million miles of accident-free driving - take a few days each month to speak to the public about highway safety and the trucking industry.  They appear on radio and television and speak to schools, business groups, and civic groups.  They provide safe-driving tips and advice for safely sharing the road with a truck.

Road Team Captains bring a tractor-trailer to the schools they visit, if desired.  Students are allowed to sit in the cab and experience the size of the vehicle while learning about the truck's blind spots.  Road Team Captains stress the need for all motorists to demonstrate professionalism and courtesy.  Hundreds of driver education classes have heard Tennessee's Road Team and rave about it!
