Truckers for Troops started as a program to raise money to send care packages to our troops – which it still does. But as military conflicts have subsided, the project has shifted part of its focus to our veterans through the Veterans Community Project, which is making rapid progress on its expansion plans. We’ll hear from the executive director of one of the new locations. Also, we’re starting to see seasonal changes in the spot market with an increase in load volume. We’ll get the latest details from DAT on today’s Market Update.
