The group is asking the industry for name suggestions for a voting contest to be held next month.

Submissions will be accepted for about a month TMAF says, and a voting contest will be held afterward to determine the mascot’s ultimate name.

TMAF Chairman Kevin Burch said in the press conference he got the idea for a mascot when he attended the National Truck Driving Championships in Indianapolis, where there was a large duck mascot that garnered the attention of children and families. “I thought, ‘Trucking Moves America Forward needs a mascot,'” he said. “We need to get an attention grabber.”

Elisabeth Barna, TMAF executive committee member, said the mascot will tour the country “to tell the story of the trucking industry.”
