The program will be presented in conjunction with the 44th Annual Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville. Shuttle buses will operate between the Truckers Pavilion in the parking lot and the exhibition halls.
Joe Hunter, President of TruckStop Ministries, will voice the prayer. Chaplain Joe is heard daily on the Dave Nemo Truckers show on XM Radio. His Chaplains and Trucker Chapels are in truck stops nationwide and have provided spiritual guidance to truckers.
Featured artist, American truck driver, singer songwriter Tony Justice will present music from his latest release. Tony has been an over the road trucker for 15 years as a second generation truck driver.
His latest release, two CDs "Gear Jammer Special" gift set "For The Longhaul,” is distributed at Pilot Flying J, TA Petro, and Loves/ Wilco Hess. His music is available online at iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and his website tonyjusticemusic.com.
This is the first trucking album box set to ever be distributed Nationwide in all 6 of the major truckstop chains. With over two hours of high steppin', double clutchin', gear jammin', chicken truckin' tunes are guaranteed to help make the miles go by a little faster. The National Day of Prayer organization is pleased to present Tony Justice and we thank him for joining with us.
Jan McCarter has graced our program with her moving rendition of the National Anthem and will again provide a special tribute to America. She will also present some of her favorite original music.
Jan and her husband Jimmy, aka Bobby Boofay, are owner operators. They served as ambassadors for the transportation industry during their employment with J B Hunt Transport, Inc.
Jan has now acquired a tractor of her own. When not under dispatch she goes to local schools and city councils across the country calling attention to the perils of sex trafficking and trucking with discussion groups.
We invite everyone who cannot attend to stop for a moment at 6:00PM, their local time, to pray for truckers and their families. Prayers offered at local times across the country will ensure prayers being given throughout the evening.
Mark Reddig, Host LandLine Now, will serve as MC. Mark joined us last year at National Day of Prayer and we welcome him as our newest executive member. He has served the transportation industry through the LandLine Magazine in presenting an informative venue for drivers nationwide.
We encourage carriers, trucking companies, company drivers, owner operators, vendors, truck stops, receivers, and shippers to set aside a moment of silence at 6:00PM on March 28, 2015 for prayer for truckers and their families.
Exhibitors at MATS are encouraged to join the National Day of Prayer for Truckers at the Truckers Pavilion at Papa John Stadium parking lot. Shuttle buses are available between the pavilion and the exhibition halls.
Seventeen years ago Bob Hataway and Joe Hunter met at the Mid America Trucking Show and planned the first National Day of Prayer for Truckers. It has now grown to include truckers worldwide. Hataway stated, "With 21st century internet technology, we can now include all drivers anywhere."
