LISLE, Ill., May 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- International
Truck, Triumph Business Capital and TriumphPay, a carrier payments
platform for freight brokers and shippers, have collaborated to
purchase and distribute more than $75,000 of personal protective equipment (PPE) to
drivers in need.
"While large fleets have a solid distribution network to provide
protection to their drivers, many drivers for smaller fleets and
independent drivers, like myself, are on our own," said
Ingrid Brown, principal, Rollin' B
LLC and company driver, Fleenor Brothers Enterprises, LTD. "Hand
sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and masks are hard to come by these
days. International Truck, Triumph Business Capital and TriumphPay
doing this provides a great comfort. I can protect myself, assist
in slowing the spread of this virus and still do my job."
A truck driver for more than four decades and advocate for the
millions of truck drivers on the road, Brown has been publicly
sharing the realities of life on the road during the COVID-19
pandemic.
"Truck drivers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic
regularly coming into contact with people as they deliver critical
supplies across the country," said Jordan
Graft, President of TriumphPay. "We were compelled to take
action after reading about Ingrid's troubles sourcing PPE and
purchased $25,000 worth of supplies.
Thanks to International Truck, we are not only able to get these
goods into the hands of drivers who need it most but are also able
to add to the total amount of PPE supplied."
International Truck, Triumph Business Capital and TriumphPay
have each purchased $25,000 of
critical PPE supplies to be distributed through select
International Truck dealerships in the U.S. and Canada. Utilizing Navistar's extensive North
American commercial parts distribution network to ship the PPE,
these select dealerships are collectively equipped with more than
6,500 masks and 6,000 eight oz. bottles of hand sanitizer to share
with drivers as they come in for service. PPE will be distributed
at these select International Truck dealerships while supplies
last, complete with personalized thank you cards from International
Truck employees and their families.
"Masks and disinfectants are still sparse at stores, making it
difficult for drivers to protect themselves," said Michael Cancelliere, president, Truck, Navistar.
"On the heels of our joint initiative with our dealer network to
supply more than 10,000 meals for truckers, we're fortunate to
partner with Triumph Business Capital and TriumphPay to make it
easier for drivers to obtain necessary PPE in a location that's
safe for them, their vehicle and load. This is just another way we
are able to show our customers and the industry that International
Cares and we're with you for the long haul."
