A DRIVING FORCE IN COMBATING HUMAN TRAFFICKING
February 22/2024
Virtual

Details:
What are the best practices of PMTC members in the fight against human trafficking? Join Heather Fry, the director of Industry Training with Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT), as she shares tips and case studies from PMTC members partnering with TAT in the battle against this crime. In the past 15 years, members of the transportation industry have proven effective as front-line responders throughout North America in recognizing and reporting the signs of human trafficking. Tips from truckers alone have helped to identify countless victims of trafficking, thanks to knowing what to look for, whether they’re at truck stops, rest areas, hotels/motels, in their own communities or at other locations. Learn how you can successfully engage and empower your employees to be a part of this driving force disrupting human trafficking networks. Heather will be joined by Jim Dimech, Director of Distribution, Merchant & On site gases for Linde Canada, & Matt Richardson, Vice President at KRTS Transportation Specialists Inc. Linde was the first company in Canada to be TAT trained. Jim will discuss why they became TAT trained, and the effect it had on the morale of their workforce. KRTS was one of the first schools in Canada to incorporate TAT training into their commercial truck driver entry level training program. Matt will discuss how KRTS got involved, and why they felt it was so important to put all of their students through this awareness training.
