Wreaths Across America 2013

For the last few years Load One and ARC have supported the charity Wreaths Across America. The charity started by accident a number of years ago when a wreath company in Maine had extra holiday wreaths and wanted to donate them to Arlington National Cemetery. A local trucking company offered to transport them from Maine to Washington and the charity was born. Today the effort has grown and works to place wreath on every grave site not just at Arlington but every fallen soldiers grave at every military cemetery in the US. The transportation industry is the largest supporter of this effort donating the logistics, drivers, equipment and fuel to help make this a reality. For every wreath that is purchased one is donated to the cause.

You can donate or get more information at truckloadofrespect.com or wreathsacrossamerica.org

This year we are proud to have sponsored 100 wreaths so far as part of our support.

As well we will again be providing 3 units to help transport over 5,000 wreaths. We will again be moving two truckloads to cover the military cemeteries in Alabama and Louisiana. As well we are proud to again this year have a straight truck as part of the "Convoy to Arlington". The convoy takes a week from Maine to Arlington with numerous stops and ceremonies along the way to help spread the message, remember, honor and teach.

We will be sending our military support trailer Patriot One again this year. As well we are proud to announce the second trailer we are sending will be it's brand new sister trailer we have dubbed Patriot Two. These two trailers symbolize our support of our active military and veterans. We will continue to support this cause and hope that you will as well.

Thank you in advance for your continued support and helping us to be not only a great company but a company that cares.

This is one of the many reasons why I am so proud to be leased to Load One. Since 1995, I have never worked for a trucking/expedite company such as Load One, or an owner of a company, John K Elliott II, so giving of itself in every way to so many charities.
