Human trafficking exists whenever people are bought and sold for forced labor or commercial sex. Around the world, it is estimated that there are over 40 million slaves today. Human trafficking has been reported in all 50 states, and the number of victims in the United States is estimated in the hundreds of thousands.  A large percentage of the people trafficked are women and children. They are the prostituted on the street and in private homes, and in legitimate businesses such as restaurants, truck stops and motels. They need to be identified and recovered.

PLM is teaming up with Truckers Against Trafficking to join the fight against human trafficking. To spread awareness of the TAT organization and how to report this crime, PLM rental trailers will proudly display the TAT hotline number decal.  As a driver, you can take the free 26-minute training on the TAT website at www.TruckersAgainstTrafficking.org.
