Five Trucks of Flood Relief Donations Arrive in Fannin County, Georgia

By Big Rig Daily Staff

Five trucks loaded with donations from people across metro Atlanta have arrived in Fannin County, in north Georgia, for families recovering from historic floods.

The delivery

The trucks carried blankets, heaters, diapers, cleaning supplies and trash bags, the everyday items people often do not think about until floodwater takes them, WSB-TV reports. Truck drivers with the Georgia Motor Trucking Association unloaded box after box at the county's emergency donation center.

The goods were collected through a local donation drive called the Convoy of Care.

Why it matters to truckers

When disaster hits, people send help. Somebody still has to drive it there. This kind of haul is a reminder that trucks do more than move freight for a rate. Georgia has also been adding freight capacity in other ways, including the recently opened Gainesville inland port, but this delivery was about relief, not containers.
