Fullbay, a turn-key platform that improves the operational efficiency of heavy-duty repair shops, says it continued its practice of providing educational resources, marketing support and nearly $30,000 in donations to deserving charitable organizations through its Fullbay Cares initiative in 2021.
Established in 2020 as a way to give back to the heavy-duty community, Fullbay Cares chooses one organization per month to not only provide a monetary donation, but also bring more overall awareness by writing blogs, conducting interviews, and promoting through social media and events. For every sign-up Fullbay receives that month, a donation is made to a designated charity. Since the initiative began in 2020, Fullbay Cares has provided close to $56,000 in funding to numerous deserving organizations.
“When COVID shut down a good majority of the country, we were looking for a different way to deploy our budget to make a difference,” said Jacob Findlay, co-founder and executive chairman of Fullbay. “We pick organizations based on feedback from our customers, so not only are they important to us, but also important to the industry.”
Some organizations Fullbay Cares donated to in 2021 include Truckers Against Trafficking, Trucker Buddy, Operation Roger, American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), Tech Force, Truckers Final Mile, Folds of Honor and more.
Beyond donations, Fullbay Cares released “Truck Tales,” a children’s book that chronicles a day in the life of Dan the Technician, their way of shining a positive light on the heavy-duty industry, and a full-size coloring book featuring heavy-duty related vehicles and scenes. The company plans to release a sequel to the children’s book in 2022.
