TRANSPORT AMERICA HELPS CHARITY

More than a dozen Transport America drivers, using the company’s trailers, donated their time to help support the Minnesota Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Noran Clinic MS 150 Bike Tour in June. The event raised more than $1 million and drew 2,400 riders.

Transport America loaded 12 53-foot trailers full of bikes and hauled them to Duluth for those participating in the bike tour. The company also donated a reefer trailer to carry lunches and beverages for the event. Transport America has sponsored the event for 12 years.
