Attorney Bernie Walsh Speaker at The FJA’s ‘Winning Truck Crash Cases’ Seminar

DAYTONA BEACH SHORES, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Bernard F. Walsh, Esq. of the injury law firm Goldman Babboni Fernandez Murphy & Walsh, was a Program Chair and panel speaker at the Florida Justice Association's trucking accident litigation seminar. Titled "FJA Winning Truck Crash Cases," the seminar was an accredited Continuing Legal Education (CLE) event and held by the Florida Justice Association (FJA) at The Shores Resort & Spa, in Daytona Beach Shores Florida.

In addition to Attorney Bernie Walsh, the panel of expert speakers included ten other industry-leading trucking injury case litigators from law firms throughout the United States.

The FJA's aim of the seminar was to better equip member attorneys with the practical knowledge needed to take on difficult cases like Trucking Crash injury lawsuits, how to prepare for, and how to represent clients for these types of complex and highly contested landmark cases.

Mr. Walsh spoke to attendees in the live audience, and virtually on a variety of important points, covering the A-Z of How An Attorney Works A Trucking Case. Characterized as a "Must Attend" event, attendees of the seminar could earn up to 9 CLE credits at the seminar - a large amount of CLE credits for a single event. In Florida, lawyers must earn 33 CLE Credits every 3-year period ensuring attorneys in the Sunshine State can better represent clients by staying up to date as the legal landscape evolves.

Attorney Bernie Walsh offered this comment about the event, "Trucking cases are not for the inexperienced or faint of heart, and it's essential that any attorney fully understands the scope of work, and demands on their firm such cases will require. Semi-trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds - when commercial truck crashes occur there is great potential for catastrophic harm to anyone nearby. Damages can amount to multiple millions of dollars, in injury, deaths, destroyed property, and more.

"The scale of these cases demands the defendant will come well-prepared with a skilled legal team attempting to limit their liability and as such any attorney looking to represent the victim needs to be fully prepared. Events like this one that the FJA holds are essential to informing attorneys of what they will need to prepare for before making the decision to represent a client for a trucking case."

About Trucking Accident Attorney Bernard F. Walsh

A leading expert in trucking accident cases in Florida, Attorney Bernie Walsh has spoken at several legal education seminars and remains an active member of many legal organizations including, the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys (ATAA), the Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America (APITLA), the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and has been a member of the Florida Justice Association Board of Governors. Bernie Walsh represents clients across Florida, including Manatee and Sarasota Counties.

Capstone Logistics Launches CapstonePay for Digital Unloading Payments

PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capstone Logistics, a leading provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions, has announced the launch of CapstonePay, a remote payment system that enables truck drivers delivering into Capstone-supported facilities to electronically pay for unloading services without leaving their cab.

The web-based portal is a module in Capstone's Apex Technology suite and is the first payment solution to fully integrate directly with all major fleet check and fuel card providers, including Comdata and WEX. The industry-leading solution allows drivers to make payments instantly, in a contactless, fully automated manner.

CapstonePay improves the driver experience at Capstone partner facilities in several ways:

* FAST PAY, NO DELAY: Drivers get back on the road faster to increase their hours of service and ability to generate revenue.

* SECURE PAY: Automated and integrated authorization reduces fraud and driver wait time.

* NO PHONE CALLS: No need to verify check codes.

* NO CONTACT: Drivers pay by phone or tablet from the comfort of their truck.

* NO CHECKS: Drivers can pay directly with fuel cards.

* INSTANT TRACKING: Drivers and their companies receive instant, electronic receipts to guarantee quicker reimbursement.

* BEST SUPPORT: CapstonePay is backed by a 24-hour help desk.

"Paying for unloading services doesn't have to be complicated or costly for carriers due to time-consuming phone calls, lost hours of service, or failed reimbursements," says Ahmed Abdalla, Chief Technology Officer at Capstone. "The improved checkout process with CapstonePay saves carriers valuable time per unload, protects both drivers and shippers against lost receipts, and should help reduce the potential for fraudulent activity."

CapstonePay is one of several recent initiatives to improve the flow of inbound transportation at Capstone-supported facilities and help warehouse partners reduce dwell time, enhance the driver experience to improve retention, and minimize supply chain waste.

KLLM Transport Services Announces Largest Driver Pay Increase in Company History

JACKSON, Miss. /ScoopCloud/ -- KLLM Transport Services (KLLM), one of the leading temperature-controlled, truckload carriers in North America, announced today the largest comprehensive pay and compensation increase in company history.

"KLLM drivers have been nothing short of remarkable over the last few years through some challenging times in the transportation industry. They've stepped up to the plate every time they've been asked to keep food on the shelves and stores stocked," said Jim Richards, KLLM President and CEO. "We are thrilled to pass along the largest pay increase in company history starting in February and the response from our current drivers has already been tremendous. Our leadership has taken feedback and put it into action with not only increasing driver wages, but also moving to practical miles, paid time off, and higher guaranteed weekly pay options."

Every Over-the-Road (OTR) and Regional company driver and independent contractor leased on with KLLM across the country will receive a pay and compensation increase in February with OTR company drivers set to see the highest cents per mile bump of almost 33 percent. KLLM Driving Academy students coming out of training have the option to go company driver or independent contractor immediately and will also see their earning potential jump 33 percent.

Regional company drivers and independent contractors will see their pay and compensation rise 10 to 16 percent in February with every regional company driver position in the company having a guaranteed weekly minimum pay option.

"Guaranteed minimum weekly pay options is something we implemented over the last year and have now rolled out nationwide to our regional company drivers keeping their wages more predictable," said Richards. "If available to drive, they know exactly how much they'll bring home each week versus having the ups and downs that can occur in some instances."

Paid earned time off for OTR company drivers will also be implemented soon where drivers who have earned home time will now be paid for the days they're off the road.

"The men and women on the road for KLLM each day will always be our greatest asset and this announcement today is driver-focused with their wants and needs in mind," said Richards. "Paid home time focuses on drivers and their families, and we're pleased to offer that to our OTR company drivers. They'll now be paid while spending time off the road with their loved ones."

With more than 55 years of exceptional service, KLLM partners with some of the largest brands in America each day within the lower 48 states and with service into Mexico.

TNCRadio.LIVE Announces 2022 Lineup

HOUSTON, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- TNCRadio.LIVE announced today that some well-known personalities have joined with the trucker-focused Internet streaming radio station to provide new programming beginning in January 2022.

With a predominantly talk radio format including live shows and popular podcasts, the station grew quickly since its launch in mid-2020 because of its easy availability online at www.tncradio.live and via Google Play, Apple's App Store, Alexa, and hundreds of platforms and devices.

"This has been an incredible journey and we are very enthusiastic about our future," said Managing Partner, Tom Kelley. "Since the station was founded, we believed that if we kept our focus on building a safe place for drivers to get the news and information they need, and the music and entertainment they want, we would be successful."

In October 2021, the streaming station launched their "TNCRadio Prime Time" lineup, 7-9PM ET daily. The shows are produced by TNCRadio.LIVE and are available as a podcast a few days after the original broadcast. "Our first season was extremely well received, and we are grateful to our many listeners who have jumped in with us," said Shelley Johnson, co-host of "Women Road Warriors," a lively talk show designed to empower and inspire women in the trucking industry.

Johnson, an Executive Vice President and one of the founding partners of TNCRadio.LIVE, made the formal announcement on-air. "We are so happy to announce that Ice Road Trucker Alex Debogorski, "America's Trucking Sweetheart" Marcia Campbell, and Dr. Christopher Cortman of "Building Strong Minds," can all be heard on TNCRadio starting in January 2022."

Alex Debogorski, a standout on The History Channel's "Ice Road Truckers" series, is well-known for his ability to tell stories of his nearly 50 years driving trucks in Canada. "Basically, all we have to do is just wind him up and get out of the way," Kelley said with a laugh. He continued, "Tale Lights," a new show to the TNCRadio Prime Time lineup "is the perfect format for Alex. The program is geared around letting drivers do what they do best. Next to being a safe driver, every decent driver loves to tell their stories. Alex is one of the best storytellers you have ever heard."

By his own account, well-known musician/trucker 'Long Haul Paul' Marhoefer has been a big fan of Marcia Campbell's for many years. "Having Marcia back on the air is going to be a huge hit for a lot of us," said the singer. "It was a very sad day when she left the airways in 2020. Even if it's only going to be once a week, I know many drivers have been waiting a long time for this."

The pandemic has certainly increased health awareness across the board. Trucking is no exception. The new show "Building Strong Minds," with noted author and psychologist Dr. Christopher Cortman will take on subjects that drivers sometimes avoid discussing.

"We will tackle anything and everything from stress, anxiety, loneliness and depression to practical tips on how to improve relationships from the road," according to show producer, Tom Kelley.

This will be the second season of the TNCRadio.LIVE Prime Time lineup and includes season one holdovers, "Women Road Warriors," hosted by Johnson and motivational author/speaker/driver Kathy Tuccaro, "TruckersLife Radio," hosted by TFC Global President, Ron Fraser and "The Train Station," with longtime Houston radio host Bill Waldrop, recently named as one of the corporate partners. The TNCRadio Prime Time slot also includes "Keep on Talkin'" with host/partner/driver Tom Kyrk introducing listeners to many of trucking's most interesting people.

Finally, company Vice President and another founding partner, Ron Samuels brings his nearly 60 years in radio to the table with a new show. "Reverse Gear," a look back at the history of popular music, will give the listeners an opportunity to not only remember some of the best songs of the last six decades, but also to see how the artists who wrote and performed some of these classics made their mark in the industry.

About TNCRadio:

TNCRadio.LIVE began broadcasting in mid-2020 and provides on-going weather, traffic, and emergency information and entertainment to the Transportation Industry, primarily to commercial drivers. The station is privately owned. TNCRadio.LIVE is a DBA of IMSICO, LLC, a Texas Company.

Move For Hunger and Graebel Renew Their Partnership and Turn 11,000 Miles into 47,000 Meals to Help Those in Need

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Graebel Companies, Inc., a leading provider of international relocation services, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, today announced they renewed their partnership and commitment to the fight against hunger.

Graebel has been a partner of Move For Hunger since 2016 and has helped provide nearly 100,000 meals over the years. Graebel's passion to end hunger goes far beyond the boardroom and extends to many of its employees. Just last month, 250 employees participated in the Move2 Fight Hunger Challenge, a virtual competition that enabled donations to Move for Hunger by encouraging employees to be active. Throughout the month of September, participants could run, walk, bike, cook, or garden, to contribute meals to those in need. During the competition, Graebel employees exercised a total of 11,000 miles, (17,700 kilometers) which helped provide 47,000 meals.

"We have been so excited to partner with Move For Hunger over the years and this year's Move2 Fight Hunger event was phenomenal," said Ben Ivory, Senior Vice President at Graebel. "We looked for a way to engage our 800+ employees in 11 countries through healthy, family-oriented activities focused on an urgent need in our communities. The Move for Hunger team was amazing, and we can't wait to expand the program next year!"

Graebel is a leader in global talent and workplace mobility. They make it easy for companies to relocate employees or entire offices overseas and across borders. They work in 165 countries and their team speaks 42 languages.

The relocation industry is familiar to Move For Hunger, which has been making an impact since 2009. By mobilizing an entire industry, Move For Hunger and its network of 1,000+ movers have transported 24 million pounds of food (20 million meals) to local food banks in all 50 states and Canada. For over a decade, Move For Hunger has been focused on non-perishable food donations, but has recently launched its new fresh food program which has already collected more than 400,000 meals worth of fresh produce in its first few months.

"With the support of Graebel, we continue to find new ways to make an impact," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "Our fresh food program is well on its way and continues to build on the momentum of the organization."

The support is needed now more than ever. Five million more people have fallen into food insecurity as the result of the pandemic. Forty-two million people in the United States, including 1 in 6 children, don't know where their next meal is coming from.

"When COVID devastated the entire country last year, our network stepped up to deliver 4 million meals, a record for us," continued Lowy. "And with the support of our loyal partner in Graebel, this year we're on track to transport more meals than ever before."

Move For Hunger and Mover’s Choice Renew Their Partnership in an Effort to End Hunger

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mover's Choice, a specialty moving and storage insurance program, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced the renewing of their partnership today for another year that would help provide more than 25,000 meals to those in need.

This is the third year of the partnership between the two organizations that has contributed a total of 63,000 meals to hungry families across the country.

"We're extremely fortunate and appreciative to join such a much-needed cause," said Brandon Laam, Director of Business Development at Mover's Choice. "The sustainable donation process that Move For Hunger undertakes is quite extraordinary. With their partnership, we look forward to having the ability to do our part in getting food delivered to those who need it most."

Mover's Choice has been a trusted partner of the moving and storage industry for over 25 years. Their specially designed insurance products and solutions support many van lines and individual movers in the Move For Hunger network.

Thanks to partnerships like the one with Mover's Choice, Move For Hunger continues to increase its impact in the United States and Canada. Just last month, Move For Hunger announced that it had helped feed 20 million people - half of which coming in the last three years alone.

Since its founding in 2009, Move For Hunger has made a sustainable way for people to donate food. They've partnered with 1,000+ movers in all fifty states and Canada to ask the simple question, "Would you like to donate your food when you move?" The organization has since expanded its scope to include organizing community food drives, rescuing unused food from events like marathons and festivals, and the recent launch of its new fresh food program which collects perishable food from farms and other sources and distributes it to local food banks.

All of these initiatives are vital in solving the hunger crisis that touches every state and county in the United States. There are 42 million hungry Americans including 1 in 6 kids that are considered food insecure. In California, the home of Mover's Choice, over 4 million people are unsure of where their next meal is coming from.

"Mover's Choice has been a close partner of ours for multiple years and we very much appreciate their continued support," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "We're trying to mobilize an entire industry-from the movers to all the companies that support the movers-to rally around the same cause. With our continued partnership, we're one step closer to doing that and one step closer to ending hunger."

Move For Hunger and Mayflower Transit Announce a New Partnership to Help Fight Hunger in the United States

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mayflower Transit, the nation's most recognized and trusted moving company, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced today a brand new partnership that will provide much-needed transportation assistance to food banks in the United States while also contributing more than 125,000 meals.

Since its founding in 2009, Move For Hunger has delivered more than 24 million pounds of food - over 20 million meals - across all 50 states and in Canada. The organization continues to increase its impact year after year and is on pace to deliver a record 6 million meals this year alone. The new partnership with Mayflower Transit will only increase its impact.

Mayflower Transit joins an ever-growing network of 1,000+ movers and transportation partners dedicated to fighting food insecurity. Mayflower Transit began with a vision to give people a choice, providing an alternative to using railroads to move household goods. A growing network of paved roads in the early 20th century further enabled long-distance trucking, and thus began Mayflower's foundation as a trailblazer in the moving industry. Over the past 90 years, Mayflower has helped America move with 200 affiliated agents. Mayflower Transit is part of UniGroup, C.A., a cooperative based in suburban St. Louis, Missouri, and also owns the nation's #1 mover United Van Lines, UniGroup Logistics and more.

The new partnership couldn't come at a more important time. After nearly a decade of slowly declining food insecurity in the U.S., the pandemic wiped out the progress made and increased the total number of people struggling to put food on the table to 42 million Americans (1 in 8). Now, the country faces the uncertainty of what the COVID Delta variant will bring as we head into the cooler months when food insecurity usually increases.

"We cannot be more excited about our new partnership with Move For Hunger," President and CEO Marc Rogers said. "The partnership fits hand-in-hand with Mayflower's philanthropic mission to fortify the communities in which we serve through eliminating food waste and fighting hunger. At Mayflower we are seeking new opportunities and pathways to progress that go well beyond simply moving our customer's safely. A partnership with Move For Hunger pairs one of the nation's experts in ensuring millions of meals every year reach the homes of those in need with our vast transportation network. Together, we will be able to increase food security in the communities that need it most."

"I'm thrilled to join forces with Mayflower Transit," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "They're so widely respected and with agents everywhere, we can be that much more effective in our food rescue efforts. Thirty-five percent of all food in the United States goes unused or uneaten. At the same time, people are struggling in every state. The addition of Mayflower and its agents will help put more food in the hands of people who need it most."

TruckDriverJobs411.com Steps Up to Meet Employment Shortage During National Trucking Industry Surge

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Federal government's recently proposed infrastructure program is projected to create nearly 3 million new commercial truck driving jobs. That's why platforms such as TruckDriverJobs411.com, the original and free trucking jobs' board, are hustling to meet the growing employment demands. TruckDriverJobs411.com, a website owned and operated by Western Truck Insurance Services, Inc. has recently overhauled its job board site to ensure drivers and owner operators are efficiently matched with jobs.

This unprecedented surge in truck driver demand comes as shippers are already hard-pressed to find drivers. The good news is that Western Truck Insurance Services, Inc. predicted this current driver shortage early on and had the foresight to create an easier way for people to connect.

"The demand is reaching critical proportions," Bob Holtzman, president, Western Truck Insurance Services, Inc. says. "In fact, some analysts predict fuel and food shortages this summer if trucking jobs are not filled. We're stepping up to fill the void."

The website's improved mobile-friendly design makes it easier for drivers and owner operators to connect with employers while they're on the road. There's no app to install and the algorithms improve matching and ensure user accounts and job postings are current.

TruckDriverJobs411.com also ensures that its users will not experience pop-ups or paid listings. Its mission is and will remain to help industry participants connect more efficiently, at zero cost and without favoritism.

Finally, setting up an account to access the job board for job providers, truck drivers, and owner operators takes just minutes. It's easy to do and free. And, once the account is up and running, job seekers can apply for a job in a single click.

"At this critical time in the trucking industry, the need for speed is essential," Holtzman says. "Our long-term investment in TruckDriverJobs411.com is just one way that we're continuing to help the trucking industry."

Maglite and First Responders Children’s Foundation (FRCF) Partner to Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety

ONTARIO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Maglite and First Responders Children's Foundation (FRCF) are joining together to support traffic and pedestrian safety during the deadliest days of the year. According to the Pedestrian Safety Institute, July is the deadliest month of the year for traffic related fatalities including those of pedestrians. The days surrounding July 4th are particularly dangerous.

Darkness and low-visibility play a significant role in pedestrian deaths. In fact, more than 70 percent of fatalities happen at night or at dusk or dawn hours. Maglite and First Responders Children's Foundation are on a mission to illuminate the dangers of driving in low-visibility conditions to reduce deaths and injuries.

Maglite and First Responders Children's Foundation will be raising awareness by distributing press materials and alerting the media about the dangers pedestrians will face in the coming months, while also promoting National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month.

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month was created by the Pedestrian Safety Institute to draw attention to this deadly time of year. Last year we saw one of the largest increases in vehicular fatalities, despite the significant decline in the number of miles Americans were driving as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

The goal of this program is to increase awareness and urge people to use caution while driving during this particularly perilous time of year.

"There are simple ways to reduce the senseless number of deaths due to pedestrian traffic accidents and that is to carry a bright flashlight, wear reflective clothing and be cautious, especially around fast-moving traffic," said Tony Maglica, Founder and CEO of Mag Instrument, Inc., manufacturer of the Maglite® Flashlight.

Report: Over One Quarter of All Mileage Reimbursement Claims Are Overreported

ISSAQUAH, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- According to internal data gathered by TripLog, a leading enterprise mileage and expense tracking solution, over 1/4 (nearly 30%) of all mileage is overreported, which could potentially cost businesses millions of dollars per year in fraudulent reimbursements.

Between January 2018 and January 2021, TripLog found that roughly 2.8 million trips were overreported. The 52.33 million miles reported among those trips were inflated by 27.2% for a total of 14.26 million miles.

For drivers reporting manually (that is, not using the app to automatically start tracking their mileage when they start driving), that number balloons to 28.9%. At 58 cents per mile, this would account for $8.2 million in fraudulent reimbursements.

For example, a driver may take a trip and report that it took 27 miles when in reality the trip only took 17 miles. TripLog's system compares the route recorded by their app's automatic mileage tracking features or a given manual mileage entry by the driver to Google Maps' data.

If Google Maps says that the drive actually took 17 miles, that can result in overreporting. Thanks to TripLog, those trips were flagged and easily corrected, but companies using manual reporting and processing methods are far more likely to miss such errors.

"Companies still using outdated pen-and-paper forms of mileage tracking and expense processing may be losing out on thousands of dollars each year per driver due to inaccurate mileage claims," said company CEO, Ted He. "Modern digital solutions, such as mileage tracking apps, are a powerful way to avoid such losses."

The most common type of expense fraud is mileage reimbursement. Employees that travel long distances in their own vehicles often pad their mileage amounts in order to receive additional funding from their employer.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, expense reporting fraud was on the rise. According to Chrome River's 2019 Expense Fraud Survey, an average of 5% of employees committed expense reporting fraud that year. The most important piece of information, however, is how these expenses were being submitted.

Employees were most likely to commit expense reporting fraud when submitting manual or spreadsheet-tracked receipts to accounts payable. 9.1% of employees who submit expenses this way have committed fraudulent actions in their expense tracking, typically inflating small expenses that are less likely to be noticed.

To help stop these instances of fraud, solutions like TripLog have made it possible and affordable for firms to get exact mileage reports, put them all into a readable format, save time for the accounting team, and, most importantly, stop fraud in its tracks.

About TripLog, Inc.:

Located east of Seattle in Issaquah, Washington, TripLog has been helping businesses ranging from small to enterprise-scale handle their mileage claims and expense reimbursements for over ten years. TripLog's intuitive app provides mobile employees with an easy-to-use system to automatically track their mileage when they start a drive, eliminating any guesswork and inaccuracies. In addition, their web dashboard gives administrators access to detailed data, providing increased oversight, allowing businesses to keep their clients' teams accountable, and provide them with accurate reimbursements.

SIERA.AI Expands S3 Slow to a Safe Stop Product Offering to Include Sit-Down Forklift Trucks

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- SIERA.AI, a leading innovator for safety solutions for preventing forklift accidents, announced today the expansion of the SIERA.AI Safety Solution S3 Slow to a Safe Stop to include sit-down forklift trucks.

The announcement completes the S3 rollout for electric lift trucks including but not limited to stand-up's, center-rider pallet trucks, narrow aisle, tuggers, order pickers and reach trucks. The S3 Safety System integrates machine vision, IoT sensors and AI to prevent forklift accidents in warehouses, manufacturing facilities and distribution centers.

SIERA.AI offers two S3 Safety System solutions to prevent pedestrian injuries, and reduce facility and product damage:

S3 Proximity Warning & Impact Monitoring constantly monitors proximity around gas, electric or LP lift trucks. If a pedestrian or object comes within its path, the lift truck will automatically sound an audio alarm and give visual cues to the operator in enough time to prevent the accident.

S3 with Slow to a Safe Stop now offered on sit-down lift trucks, constantly monitors around the lift truck. If a pedestrian or object gets too close and the driver is unaware, the S3 with Slow to a Safe Stop will automatically override the driver, slow down the vehicle and enable safe stopping.

As the announcement is publicly released, SIERA.AI has received new customer orders for the sit-down forklift S3 Safety System.

"Our customers are implementing both S3 Safety Systems on their lift trucks," said Suhas Ahuja, COO of SIERA.AI. "The S3 Proximity Warning & Impact Monitoring is typically installed on most of the electric lift truck fleet with S3 with Slow to a Safe Stop on targeted electric lift trucks where high-risk areas have been identified. The combination provides advanced protection with data collection on a real-time Dashboard for a deeper understanding of movements and behaviors."

About SIERA.AI

SIERA.AI believes Efficiency x Safety Accelerates Productivity with innovative solutions that empower and safeguard company assets and protect their employees so they can focus on what they do best.

Sponsors Can Help At-Risk Asians Travel Safely in Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Due to increases in violent attacks and threats against Asians in recent months, many feel unsafe travelling in Atlanta via public transit or on foot. Sponsor a Ride is a new service, funded entirely by donations, which addresses the problem by underwriting Lyft, Uber, and cab trips for Asians who are female, seniors, or disabled.

According to co-founder Soan Gunawan, "When we heard about the horrific attacks we wanted to help. We figured the most immediately useful thing we can do in the near term is sponsor rides for those who are genuinely fearful of local travel, especially at night. And if we can provide a stellar experience for both rider and sponsor, we can maintain the service for as long as the assaults continue."

Both those who want a ride and those who wish to sponsor one can do so by visiting sponsoraride.net.

Individuals and businesses who donate at least $25.00 to provide rides for Asians at risk can be mentioned on the website as members of the Hero Circle.

Riders get reimbursed by filling out a Google form on the site, and submitting a selfie and a photo of their receipt from Lyft, Uber, or the taxi company (necessary so as to discourage fraud).

"We notice that both sides of the transaction feel rewarded," says co-founder Anna Chu Lin. "The traveler has the cost of their safe ride underwritten, and the sponsor gets well-deserved recognition for helping someone at risk get to where they need to go. We are always thinking of new ways to reward both the sponsor and the rider."

If they like, sponsors who join the Hero Circle can have their own non-profit, school, church, or enterprise mentioned on the agency's partners' social media, which receive over 290,000 unique views a month. In addition, when sponsors underwrite more than $50.00 for rides a donation is made in their name to Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Atlanta (advancingjustice-atlanta.org).

Sponsor a Ride emphasizes that they only sponsor essential travel, not pleasure trips. Atlanta is the test market; in June they hope to begin serving Baltimore, D.C, Cleveland, Chicago, and San Diego.

Move For Hunger and northAmerican Van Lines Renew Partnership and Host Their Largest Hunger Fighting Initiative

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- northAmerican® Van Lines, a leader in relocation services, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced today their renewed partnership that will help provide much-needed assistance to food banks across the United States. As a partner, northAmerican® Van Lines will support Move For Hunger's food rescue and hunger relief programs.

To date, Move For Hunger's network of relocation professionals and multi-family properties has collected and delivered more than 22 million pounds of food - providing over 18 million meals - to food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada.

Move For Hunger and northAmerican® Van Lines have been partners since 2011 and have 76 participating agents as part of the Move For Hunger network. Over the past eight years, northAmerican® Van Lines and its agents have helped transport over half a million meals to those in need.

During the week of April 5 - 11, the two companies combined to host the Great northAmerican® Food Drive, an initiative that brought together 32 food drives hosted by different northAmerican® Van Line agents spread across 18 different states and Canada. The week-long initiative collected 25,700 pounds of food which is the equivalent of 21,500 meals. The food was distributed to local food banks in various cities.

"northAmerican Van Lines has been an amazing supporter of ours since our early days," says Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "When they approached us with this idea of holding 30+ food drives simultaneously, we jumped at the opportunity. While we host hundreds of food drives every year, we have never done one on this scale before."

"Food insecurity has always been a big issue in the United States and Canada, but the pandemic has amplified the need. Food pantries have been hit with unprecedented requests for food from individuals and families directly impacted by COVID-19," said Kevin Murphy, Vice President and General Manager of northAmerican® Van Lines. "northAmerican and its agent network are committed to supporting the communities we serve in any way possible. We are proud and honored to partner with Move for Hunger, an organization that is truly making a difference in the fight against hunger."

Food insecurity touches every community in the country. At the start of the pandemic 37 million Americans were going hungry and due to the pandemic that increased to 42 million Americans including 13 million children. Move For Hunger rose to the challenge by transporting 40% more food in 2020 than its previous record-setting year in 2019. Through the support of partners like northAmerican® Van Lines and its parent company SIRVA who is also a partner, Move For Hunger can continue to fight for the families, individuals, and children who are most in need of food assistance.

About Move For Hunger

Move For Hunger (501(c)(3) is a national non-profit organization that has created a sustainable way to reduce food waste and fight hunger.
