MEMPHIS, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Koch Records) - Country music legend Charlie Daniels is partnering with National Bankers Trust to promote fair financial practices in the trucking industry. The sponsorship coincides with the release of Charlie's latest CD Deuces and will feature Charlie Daniels as a spokesperson and advocate for ethical, reasonable and sound financial services for truck drivers and owners.

"Truckers deserve the chance to build the American dream from the ground up, just like everybody else. It's high time for truckers to take a stand and demand a fair deal from factoring companies that lock you in and take you down, and have their money actually work for them instead of just the factoring companies," said Charlie Daniels.

"We're thrilled to be joining Charlie Daniels in support of responsible and fair financing for the trucking industry," said Dudley Boyd, CEO, National Bankers Trust. "Like any other business, small trucking companies must have access to financial services that maximize their cash flow today and give them tools to accumulate profit for growth and ultimately self-capitalization."

Charlie will be promoting fair financial practices in the trucking industry through a number of different advertising and public relations initiatives including radio ads. Charlie has a long history of supporting the trucking industry and is the official voice of Sirius Radio's Road Dog channel 147, a 24-hour channel geared toward professional drivers and trucking culture.
