KRISTI EATON Associated Press First Posted: March 25, 2011 - 12:26 pm OKLAHOMA CITY — It's been nearly 30 years, but Mark Brown still remembers the face of the teenage girl who approached him at a truck stop in California. He'd just finished a long day of driving across the country when the girl, who wasn't more than 15 or 16 years old, knocked on his window and asked if he wanted a date. He said he ignored her and let her proceed down the row of trucks, knocking on windows trying to sell her body for money. "I still regret that decision to this day," he said. "I should have helped her." For the rest of this story, please follow this link: http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/d495dc21fcbf4cf5a5862e436c5a964b/OK-Truckers-Against-Trafficking/

Create a Display
Creating display space for Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) materials is a good way to create awareness of the human trafficking issue and educate members of the trucking industry on what they can do to fight it. This photo shows space created in the back main hallway of the Knoxville West TA TravelCenter for TAT materials. Drivers stop by all the time to read the material and take a wallet card. This TravelCenter also has a spot for TAT materials at their fuel desk and service bay waiting area.
