Proud partner of Truckers Against Trafficking
Team up to save lives.
Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar criminal enterprise that stretches coast to coast and across the globe. Every year, tens of millions of people around the world suffer day in and day out, so criminals can make money. And yet, too often, these victims are treated as perpetrators.
Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) is a non-profit organization, dedicated to fighting human trafficking through the trucking and travel plaza industries. TAT works tirelessly to educate, train and empower professional truckers and transit operators to know what to look for and what to do to save victims.
- Recognize the signs of human trafficking.
- Maintain awareness at rest stops, bus stops, truck stops, gas stations and other travel stop locations.
- Reference TAT’s printed resource cards and other materials to make reporting human trafficking easier.
As a proud sponsor with deep ties to trucking and transportation, Zonar supports TAT’s mission to empower everyone in the industry to disrupt human trafficking networks. And treat the survivors with compassion and respect.
Truckers and bus operators are uniquely positioned to help.
Traffickers exploit the transportation system by moving their victims from one place to another. And by finding remote locations at which to profit without interference.
Truckers, school bus drivers and transit operators are uniquely positioned to recognize the signs as their job also includes moving among the same locations as traffickers: rest stops, truck stops, bus stops and so on. They’re also more likely to come into close contact with the victims—and offer help.
So far, more than 1,000,000 people have registered as TAT Trained to help combat human trafficking. Visit the TAT website for reference materials and to learn how you can help.

eTAT is an app specifically for ELDs to help your drivers identify and report labor and sex trafficking in their everyday work.

Busing is on the lookout, on the frontlines.
Traffickers often recruit and groom victims online, then kidnap their victims and move them using bus transportation. As the bus industry’s frontline employees do their everyday jobs, they may come into contact with these victims—and hopefully help.
TAT’s sister agency, Busing on the Lookout, provides free, industry-specific training and toolkits to help drivers, terminal works, maintenance staff, dispatchers, ticket counter staff, security guards and other employees recognize the signs and help the victims they may encounter.
