Truck drivers are the beating heart of America and we believe they are American heroes due to their ability to provide exceptional service and national access to goods and services. We also believe that Veterans are American heroes and we do anything in our power to build them up. Many of our current workforce and clientele are directly connected with Veterans who regularly share stories of their honor and service.
As a proud Utah-owned trucking company, we’d like to continue to honor America’s Veterans by encouraging our workforce, leaders and customers to donate to nonprofit organizations. Consider the following funds when donating:
Utah Veterans Alliance
Utah Veterans Alliance is a local 501(c)(3) charity that supports and empowers local heroes. The charity’s goal is to show appreciation to Utah’s military community through acts of service and an increase in public awareness. Donations are suggested to be in increments of $25, 50, or $100 but any donation is appreciated. You can also donate by venmoing @utahveterans22.
Utah also hosts various public events, including The Annual Car Show at Wheeler Historic Farm where food trucks, drinks, drawings and resource booths are available to the public. Veterans also eat for free and enjoy summer entertainment. They also sponsor a Military Appreciate Night for the Salt Lake City Stars. Veterans enjoy a night of NBA G-League Basketballs with free tickets through Spinzo or Ticketmaster.
Major Brent Taylor Foundation
Major Brent Taylor, an Ogden, Utah native and former North Ogden mayor, passed away while serving in Afghanistan on November 3, 2018. He served in the Utah Army National Guard for over 20 years and was on his fourth combat deployment when he died.
