Nebraska Trucking Heroes Wildfires Relief Fund
Helping Nebraskans
Whenever Nebraskans face tough times, the trucking industry is there to help. Wildfires left unprecedented destruction across western Nebraska, and the NTA took action, alongside the Nebraska Department of Agriculture and the Nebraska Cattlemen. The fund supported trucking heroes who transported much-needed feed and supplies.
Nebraska Trucking Heroes Stipend
To help, the NTA is offering the Nebraska Trucking Heroes Stipend through its charitable arm, the Nebraska Trucking Cares Fund, overseen by the NTA Women’s Council. Truckers, farmers, and ranchers who help transport emergency relief supplies can get support to offset the high cost of fuel.
The stipend offers $0.50 per mile, up to 500 miles per trip, for truckers helping with wildfire relief in western Nebraska. The Nebraska Trucking Cares Fund has pledged up to $5,000 to start.
