Jason's Law: Advocating for Safe Truck Parking

 

The purpose of Jason's Law is to provide secure areas for truck drivers to rest or wait until they can unload their trucks.

On Thursday March 5, 2009, Jason Rivenburg pulled his truck into a gas station that has been used frequently and considered to be some what safe. Jason was only twelve miles from his destination but could not make delivery because it was too early. His delivery never took place. Jason was shot and killed as he rested in his truck. Jason left behind a wife, son and twins delivered shortly after his murder.

Jason's family and friends are asking for your help to bring attention to the dangers our nation's truck drivers face to our legislators. Perhaps if truck stops were required to provide adequate lighting, cameras and if delivery sites provided secure waiting areas crimes of this nature could be prevented.

Please join our effort to make "Jason's Law" a reality by signing our petition.
