Family of Murdered Truck Driver Seeks Safety Bill


Truck Driver Jason Rivenburg was murdered while resting at an abandoned South Carolina gas station March 5th, 2009.  Now, his family has been meeting with legislators and gathering signatures to support government action to protect truckers.  Dubbed “Jason’s Law,” the bill will be submitted to Congress in the coming weeks.

The bill would implement a pilot program to address the shortage of long-term parking for commercial vehicles.  Family members have begun a website to help update supporters at:   http://www.jhlrivenburg.com

Please visit their website and sign the petition.  You can also download and fill out the legislative survey and email back to the family members to help bring this bill to law.

Truckers NEED access to safe and secure parking.

    This is an important issue…truck parking. And it extremely saddens me that it takes the loss of an individual…someone’s son, husband, father…to generate the necessary attention to address this serious issue.

    The Rivenburg family remains in our prayers, and I am hopeful this action will achieve it’s intended purpose.

    Safe Trails and God Bless,
