All it takes is a little training followed by action, as Bob Bramwell found out one fateful Christmas Eve. He now uses that experience to encourage others truck drivers to prepare so they’re ready to step up when needed. Plus, Jacob Kirkman of Inland Kenworth is in on the fight too. He explains how they’re using a mixture of TAT training and generosity to fight back against human trafficking nationwide. TAT (Truckers Against Trafficking): https://tatnonprofit.org/ National Human Trafficking Hotline: 888-373-7888.
