What is Jason's Law?
It is a potential law to address the ongoing and escalating problems with truck driver safety and security. In the last month we have been doing a great deal of research into the problems of trucker safety.
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 leaves behind a son that will be two in April and a wife that will deliver twins shortly.
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 and filling out our legislative survey.
