 Gov. Sanders is taking a stand against human trafficking with a new executive order aimed at expanding training and screening resources. This supports efforts already underway in the transportation sector as drivers are required to go through training to get their CDL license in Arkansas. ATA President Shannon Newton and Arkansas Road Team Lazaro Ruiz joined the governor for the roundtable where the order was signed: “It's an opportunity to leverage the eyes and the ears of the trucking industry and be part of the solution".  http://ow.ly/TlSX50MVurn
