DAT Hosts BBQ Events in South Dakota

On Sept. 15 and 16, DAT Freight & Analytics welcomed drivers in South Dakota with free BBQ meals as part of its annual show of appreciation. The events took place at Coffee Cup Fuel Stops in Brandon and Hartford, where drivers could grab a meal from the Backyard BBQ food truck, pick up DAT swag, and connect with representatives.

DAT also used the events to highlight its partnership with the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund, an organization that supports drivers and their families when medical challenges prevent them from being on the road.

“DAT’s success is built on the work and dedication of owner-operators, small carriers, and their truck drivers,” said Jeff Clementz, DAT President and CEO. “Freight doesn’t move, and our business simply wouldn’t exist without them. These events are our way of saying thank you.”

What is the Challenge?

Dubbed the “Miles for Veterans—Route 66 Virtual Route Challenge,” this 2,200-mile virtual fitness event invites participants from across the country to a nostalgic and meaningful adventure. By walking or running, participants will virtually travel along historic Route 66 while honoring veterans, promoting wellness, and celebrating the rich heritage of this legendary highway.

This historic road, often referred to as the “Main Street of America,” has played a significant role in both the trucking industry and military history. Since its inception in 1926, Route 66 has served as a crucial commercial artery, connecting communities and facilitating the movement of goods across the United States.

Veterans and the Trucking Industry

The trucking industry has long been intertwined with the experiences of veterans, many of whom transition into truck-driving careers after completing their service. With approximately 18 million veterans in the U.S. currently working as truck drivers, they continue to uphold values of resilience and dedication, driving the economy forward.

This unique connection between veterans and Route 66 inspired Rolling Strong President Steve Kane to develop this virtual walk/run initiative. The event not only encourages participants to stay physically active but also raises much-needed funds for Waypoint Vets, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the well-being of military veterans.

Supporting Waypoint Vets

Waypoint Vets, founded by veteran Sara Lee, offers life-changing adventures that help veterans reconnect with themselves and foster lasting bonds with others who have served. These carefully designed experiences allow veterans to share their stories, heal, and grow in an understanding and supportive environment.

The “Miles for Veterans” challenge unites organizations like Rolling Strong and FIT DRIVERS to support Waypoint Vets’ mission. By participating in this fitness challenge, you’ll be part of an effort to raise awareness of veterans’ issues while also celebrating Route 66’s historic significance.

Get Ready to Join

Mark your calendars for May 22! This is your chance to make every step count for a meaningful cause. Stay tuned for details on how to register. Together, participants can walk or run to honor veterans and promote health and wellness across the nation.

Challenge yourself to make a difference while taking a virtual trip down memory lane on America’s most iconic highway!
