With over 37% of OOIDA members having served in the military it is only fitting that OOIDA continues to remember and send care packages to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.  A telethon was initiated in 2007 that was so successful that it is becoming a tradition.  Truckers in 2008 and 2009 living with escalating fuel prices and recession reached deep inside their souls and their pockets to donate over $95,000.  That money was used to send care packages to our troops bringing a little bit of home and a reminder that they are still in our hearts. 

 

The 4th Annual Truckers for Troops was Dec. 5 - Dec. 9, 2011
