Blake is the driving force behind the Kenworth T680 auction. “The winning bidder for the Everyday Heroes Kenworth T680 will help fund Truckers Against Trafficking and increase awareness of human trafficking and TAT’s mission to end it. We look forward to a successful auction.”
In 2017, Mike Jimenez, owner of Phoenix-based J&L Transportation, submitted the winning bid for the Everyday Heroes Kenworth T680 that was auctioned that year. The bid resulted in an $83,000 donation to TAT, the largest single donation to the organization.
