Road Scholar Transport believes in giving back as well, which is why we created the 10 Million Miles to a Cure Awareness Campaign, in which we vowed to travel 10 million miles spreading awareness for various charities/organizations through our rolling billboards.  Like the MLB, Road Scholar is helping raise awareness for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Prostate Cancer Foundation, American Foundation for the Blind, and many more.  Check out Road Scholar’s awareness campaign at www.roadscholarawareness.org.

You can help Road Scholar and the MLB on their mission towards a cure by helping to keep the freight moving so we can continue to spread awareness.  Visit www.roadscholar.com to learn more about Road Scholar’s LTL and truckload services and to get a quote today.
