Washington – Today, the American Trucking Associations’ Trucking Cares Foundation (TCF) announced that ArcBest Corporation has committed to becoming the 23rd member of the TCF Founders Club.

“The dedicated, compassionate people who make up our nation’s transportation industry are the inspiration behind ArcBest’s decision to support the Trucking Cares Foundation as Founders Club members,” said Judy R. McReynolds, ArcBest chairman, president and CEO. “This industry is critical to the economy and helps make our way of life possible, and we fully support the Foundation’s work to extend that impact through initiatives that make our roads safer, fight human trafficking, provide humanitarian relief and so much more.” 

The Founders Club is a special class of donors comprised of individuals and corporations committed to a $100,000 contribution over 10 years. Founders Club members will receive special recognition across Trucking Cares Foundation programs for their early and generous commitments to making our mission a reality.

“Because of the support of ArcBest and all of our Founders Club Members, the Trucking Cares Foundation is able to provide critical support for important causes in the U.S. and around the world,” said John Lynch, president of the Trucking Cares Foundation. “These donations allow us to respond quickly when needs arise, as well as make ongoing contributions to important causes throughout the year.”

The Trucking Cares Foundation is the trucking industry’s charitable arm, focusing on several core areas, including: humanitarian and disaster relief, eradicating human trafficking, leadership development, strengthening the industry’s relationships with law enforcement and military and veterans’ organizations, and safety and research opportunities.
