HeaterMeals Sponsors TransAlive

     9/20/08 - HeaterMeals renewed their partnership with TransAlive this month.  The organization is dedicated to providing support and aid to truckers away from home through the use of their specialized AmCoach.  That support takes many different forms.  From feeding a driver waiting to unload his rig, to taking a stricken trucker to and from the hospital, TransAlive is there.  While the organization's primary focus is supporting truckers, they also provide emergency relief during a disaster. 

     Bob Hataway, President of TransAlive, started the organization in 1984.  Today, he oversees the activity of his volunteers who have worked in over 1100 cities in the 48 contiguous states and Canada. He has initiated a Caring in Action=Safety Program, a First Death Notification Program, an AmCoach Program, and researches, scripts and records Safety Tips for Drivers.  The safety tips are published in various transportation media outlets and over 500,000 copies are in print each month.

     HeaterMeals has partnered with TransAlive since 2000 by supplying the AmCoach with HeaterMeals Self-Heating Meals and Meal Kits.  Regarding the 10 year partnership with HeaterMeals, Bob Hataway commented “HeaterMeals are handy should truckers resources be limited.  I appreciate your willingness to help and I will let the drivers know of your concern for their well being.   Your meals are great!"
