LOGBOOK Wreaths Across America, TCA join forces to honor fallen heroes At The Great American Trucking Show in Dallas on Aug. 23, WAA and the Truckload Carriers Associa- tion announced a new partnership to honor America's fallen veterans. This fall, TCA will work with WAA to dispatch drivers and coordinate the logistics of wreath delivery across the country. The organization has also launched a new website, where dona- tions can be made to underwrite the cost of placing a wreath on every head- stone at Arlington. Individuals and companies can easily add their own pages to the main raising goals and unique URLs that can be sent to friends, fam- ily and coworkers via email and social media channels. WAA has its annual wreath- laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery and nearly 800 veteran locations across the country and overseas. Last year, the organization marked its 20th year making the trip to Arlington with the placement of nearly 90,000 remembrance wreaths. In 2012, one of its goals is to place a wreath on each of the 225,000 head- stones at the cemetery. Randall-Reilly Business Media and Information and Pilot Flying J offered fundrais- ing pledges of $50,000 and $100,000 each, respectively. – Randy Grider (RECORDERS continued from page 17) posed rulemaking to mandate the use of EOBRs for carriers currently using handwritten Re- cords of Duty," Bronrott said.

On June 29, the House ap- proved the FY2013 transporta- tion appropriations bill, which the Senate placed on its calendar for consideration. It includes an amendment to block funding to implement the EOBR mandate. – Jill Dunn 90 | Overdrive | October 2012 Text INFO to 50298 or visit ovdinfo.com
