TCA members recognized for hauling “The Wall That Heals” for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) members who volunteered their time and equipment in 2015 to haul The Wall That Heals for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) have received thank-you awards recognizing their efforts. Jim Knotts, CEO and president of VVMF, made the presentation during this morning’s General Session at TCA’s Annual Convention at the Wynn Las Vegas Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Because of our partnership with TCA, we were able to bring a national memorial to the hometown of hundreds of thousands in 2015,” said Knotts. “In the front of that procession was a truck owned and operated by a TCA member, who, by helping us, was able to demonstrate dedication and commitment to our communities, to our veterans—young and old—and to our nation.”
The following TCA-member companies were recognized:
- Baylor Trucking, Milan, Indiana
- Cargo Transporters, Inc., Claremont, North Carolina
- Covenant Transport, Chattanooga, Tennessee
- Dart Transit Co., Eagan, Minnesota
- Delaware Technical Community College, Georgetown, Delaware
- Fremont Contract Carriers, Inc., Fremont, Nebraska
- Halvor Lines, Inc., Superior, Wisconsin
- Interstate Distributor Co., Tacoma, Washington

- TWT Refrigerated Services, Cheney, Washington
- Walmart Transportation, Bentonville, Arkansas
- Witte Brothers Exchange, Inc., Troy, Missouri
- Werner Enterprises, Inc., Omaha, Nebraska
- XPO Logistics/Con-way, Greenwich, Connecticut
The Wall That Heals is a 250-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. With the help of TCA’s partnership and the companies mentioned above, the traveling exhibit honors the men and women who served and sacrificed their lives in the Vietnam War.
Trucking companies are needed to haul The Wall in 2016. Interested companies may complete an online interest form, and VVMF will then follow up with more information.
