The Tennessee Trucking Association is working diligently to keep you updated on the latest information on COVID-19 that is available. Each Week, your President Dave Huneryager, and Vice President Donna England have been on the phone with Governor Lee’s Administration representing the trucking industry. They have been extremely receptive to our input, and, this input has been reflected in the numerous Executive Orders he has issued and we have posted. We will continue to stay on the phone… We have also been working closely with our state partners and will disseminate the updates as they come. We will update this page as we receive new information. During these unprecedented times we will be here to help in any way we can.
Our industry has been on the frontlines of this pandemic and we encourage you to #ThankaTrucker. If not for these essential workers our store shelves that have been depleted from panic buying would still be empty.
Thank you to all the women and men who drive a truck
and have stepped up to help us get through this crisis!!
