When:

 

18 Wheels Matter was formed as Trucker Lives Matter in December of 2020 and currently based in Bentonville Arkansas.

We were notified a few weeks later that there was a current Trucker Lives Matter at that time, so in January we became 18 Wheels Matter!!!!!

​

How: 

​

In December of 2020 I was going out on the truck as a passenger for a week. 

Before leaving to load we made a stop by Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market in Bentonville Arkansas to get a couple cans of cappuccino, however I was informed they were out of the cappuccino and wouldn't have any in stock for 2 days.

​

That afternoon and the following day I pondered on the thought that a store was out of items and then my brain began to awaken to the thought of "WHAT IF ANOTHER TRUCK NEVER CAME... what if the customers emptied all shelves and a truck never showed again".

​

A few days had passed with this on my mind, one morning at a Loves in Tennessee on I 40 I awoke and decided to bless a trucker that day where I took some money, stood on a fuel island and picked a beautiful, blue, bull hauler to bless. 

As I thanked him for all he does and goes through for us his eyes just lit up so bright. It was as if no one had ever said it before.

​

When my week as a passenger on that semi was up and I came home, I immediately started thinking of ways to bless the truckers being that I couldn't just give out money to all of them.

I then thought of gift bags... things truckers can use that was expensive in truck stops, but I could get for them cheaper than a truck stop. I started advertising and it has progressed since by the grace of God. Without God this wouldn't be happening nor would I be the person or have the passion I have for truckers...

WITHOUT TRUCKS AMERICA STOPS !!!

THANK A TRUCKER PLEASE !!!!
