MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Tennessee Trucking Foundation (TTF), the 501(c)3 charitable arm of Tennessee Trucking Association (TTA), is dedicated to: Advancing highway safety by educating the public on how to safely share the road with large trucks and commercial vehicles; providing Tennessee children's charities with funds; and assisting TTA members and their children in pursuing degrees in higher education.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Tennessee's Road Team Safety Program Tennessee's Road Team Safety Program is a free service to any school or community organization seeking education about driving safely around large trucks for drivers of all ages. Includes the NO-ZONE Truck and Trailer for demonstrating the differences between large trucks and passenger vehicles and CarFit and Yellow DOT for 55 plus drivers. Big Rigs for Little Kids Golf Tournaments Big Rigs for Little Kids is a series of golf tournaments raising money for children’s charities in Tennessee. The Foundation distributed over $39,000 to Tennessee children’s charities in 2016. The Big Rigs for Little Kids Golf Tournaments have given over $1.8 million since inception in 1993 to Tennessee charities, including East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House and Make a Wish Foundation. Foundation Scholarship Fund The Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance for Tennessee Trucking Association members and their children to attend college. The Foundation awarded $16,500 in scholarship funds to eleven students in 2016. Teens & Trucks Share the Road Teens & Trucks Share the Road Training Program was created in collaboration with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance and American Trucking Associations. Together we have developed a program to help educate teens about safe driving practices around large trucks and commercial vehicles. The programs includes an instructor's manual, student workbook and instructional video. The program also includes a website, social media accounts and a computer app. Foundation Children's Book Program The Tennessee Trucking Foundation created a one of a kind Children's Book. Young readers can experience one professional truck driver's stories as they are shared with his son in a vibrant, custom-illustrated 25 page Children's Book. The stories are to entertain and inspire childlike curiosity about the importance of the trucking industry while at the same time educating our youth about how to be safe around large trucks and commercial vehicles.
