Loved Ones And Drivers Support (LOADS), founded in 1992, is the grassroots support organization for the trucking industry. From trucking families, friends, carriers and suppliers, LOADS is a haven of support in an atmosphere of understanding.

LOADS exists to better the lives of a very large, extremely vulnerable, yet often forgotten group of people associated with long-distance trucking relationships - the drivers and loved ones.

Over 4 million commercial drivers run the highways of today - imagine the impact LOADS has in continuing to keep these relationships with significant others complete.

LOADS offers practical support, useful education, comfort and understanding to those in a trucking relationship of any sort. We offer someone to lean on in troubled times. We try to help others deal with the challenges that are associated with long-distance relationships; loneliness, isolation, frustration, as well as many other emotions we may face in our daily lives.

LOADS works with the media to increase the public awareness and advocate for improved relationships with all that travel the roads today. Safety is a top concern amongst us all.

We've formed a circle of friends from coast to coast and around the world that can lend a guiding hand, or just offer a shoulder to lean on when one is needed. Here at LOADS, we want you to know you've found a home of understanding trucking families.
