The brand-new, camo semi in TransLand’s truck fleet has a purpose greater than just delivering loads to customers safely and on time. TransLand is partnering with local veteran organizations, to unveil its third-ever community truck.

For every mile professional driver and Army Veteran, Patrick Flores drives in this special truck, TransLand will donate $0.05 to local veteran organizations.

This is not a new concept. In 2012, TransLand premiered its pink “Miles for Hope” semi-truck that was partnered with area breast cancer organizations like the Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks. Since the community truck’s inception 10 years ago, more than $80,000 has been donated locally.

The second community truck was unveiled in 2018 and partners with Care to Learn to meet students’ emergent health, hunger, and hygiene needs so they can stay in school. Since 2018, that truck has driven more than 466,500 miles and generated more than $35,000 in donations.

Mark Walker, TransLand Chairman, and CEO said, “TransLand is excited about this new partnership. More than 40% of our professional truck drivers served our nation and we are forever indebted to their services. This employee-inspired idea to give back to those who give the most is a perfect fit for our charitable fleet.”

This truck will be put into service Tuesday, March 8 at 10:00 am at the TransLand Strafford terminal located at 1601 W. Old Route 66, Strafford, MO 65757. Along with its official first delivery, there will be a ribbon-cutting by TransLand veterans and CEO, Mark Walker.
