In partnership with:

Tennessee's Road Team is a state-wide highway safety program sponsored by Tennessee Trucking Foundation. The Road Team’s top goal is to create a safer driving environment and save lives on our highways by educating the drivers on how to safely share the road with large trucks.

Road Team Captains -- many with more than one million miles of accident-free driving -- take a few days each month to appear on radio and television and at schools, business groups, and civic groups. They can also bring a tractor-trailer to the schools they visit, if desired. Students are allowed to sit in the cab and experience the size of the vehicle while learning about the truck's blind spots, stopping distances and other limitations of large vehicles.

Road Team Captains stress the need for all motorists to demonstrate professionalism and courtesy on the road. They reinforce good safety habits such as always buckling safety belts, never drinking and driving, avoiding aggressive driving. They also discuss the importance of trucking in our nation's economy and the opportunities presented by a career in transportation.
