In the weeks after the September 11th attacks, thousands of truck drivers played a critical yet often overlooked role in the removal of debris and other cleanup efforts. Many of these drivers spent weeks or even months transporting materials from Ground Zero to the Fresh Kills Landfill, breathing in toxic dust, often without adequate protection.
If you were a 9/11 truck driver, you may be eligible for financial compensation through the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) and health monitoring and treatment through the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP).
