Tennessee’s Road Team is a statewide highway safety program.
The Road Team is composed of professional truck drivers with superior driving records and a desire to spread the word about safety on the highway.
These professional drivers are nominated by their TTA Member companies and selected by a team of judges who evaluate their nomination packages. The drivers who are selected will serve a two-year term as ambassadors for our industry in Tennessee.
Many with more than one million miles of accident-free driving — take a few days each month to present at high schools and safety events. They can also bring the NO-ZONE 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, stopping distances and other limitations of large vehicles.
Road Team Captains stress the need for all motorists to demonstrate professionalism and courtesy on the road. They reinforce good safety habits and also discuss the importance of trucking in our nation’s economy and the opportunities presented by a career in transportation.
