Drivers, remember that the SBTC maintains: (1) a trucker emergency relief fund for drivers who unexpectedly find themselves in unusually dire circumstances (we have helped drivers whose homes have burned down, have been hospitalized due to COVID, have been stranded on the road by carriers that suddenly close, and who have died on the road and their families need to get them home); and (2) a truckers' kids holiday fund for trucker families experiencing financial hardship unable to afford to celebrate the holidays with their children.

To apply for financial assistance, please email support@truckers.com and advise your name, whether you are a company driver, leased owner operator, or independent trucker, your current financial situation/hardship, mailing address and your phone number in case we need to interview you to make a determination on your request for assistance. Be prepared to furnish evidence of hardship. Scammers will be vetted out and need not apply.

These funds are generously supported by our dues-paying members. If you wish to help truckers in trouble and truckers' kids in need, you may join SBTC through the www.truckers.com website.
