Cities and towns nationwide are awash in lethal fentanyl, a synthetic opioid up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. To better understand the enormity of the problem plaguing this country, consider the following statistics:
• Illicit fentanyl poisonings claim the lives of over 70,000 Americans annually.
• Illicit fentanyl is the number one killer of adults 18-45.
• Children under 14 are dying of fentanyl poisoning faster than any other age group.
• Nearly 377 million lethal doses of fentanyl were seized last year, yet fatal poisonings continue to rise.
• Already in 2024, seizures of illicit fentanyl represent over 94 million deadly doses.
To help reverse this tragic epidemic and spare families from enduring the unfathomable pain of losing a loved one, Ability Tri-Modal, in partnership with the Trucking Cares Foundation, (TCF) is taking action.
Ability Tri-Modal has wrapped two fentanyl awareness trailers: one on the West Coast and one on the East Coast.
Trucking Cares Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose mission is “to improve the safety of the trucking industry and the safety, security, and sustainability of America’s highways and communities we serve by supporting and promoting research, education and leadership development, volunteerism, and a broad range of charitable activities towards those ends.”
