Wayne Ponschke

Professional truck driver for 37+ years
Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) Certified

  • HOW DID YOU FIRST BECOME INVOLVED IN TAT?

    A friend recommended that I get TAT certified. Watching the training video changed everything for me. Once I watched the video, I had to do more. I had to share it. I had to get other people involved in what TAT is doing because what they’re doing is incredible.

  • HOW ARE YOU HELPING RAISE AWARENESS OF THE TAT PROGRAM TO OTHER DRIVERS?

    Recruiting and helping educate and raise awareness is a huge part of what we’re doing. At first, I connected with some other drivers at UPS to help spread the word about TAT’s training video. Throughout several states, we ended up getting over 400 people certified in just one month. And we continue to expand our efforts each year. From helping transport TAT’s educational trailer to widely attended UPS, to carrying and handing out TAT’s informational wallet cards at areas that other truck drivers frequent, like rest areas, we’re making a difference one by one.
