Thank You to the Unsung Heroes of the U.S. Economy

Written by Andrea Tarrell | Mon, Sep 17,2012 @ 10:07 AM

This week is National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, and we wanted to take this opportunity to offer a word of thanks to these unsung heroes that keep our country moving.  This year, the TCA has tweaked the name of the annual event to “National Truck Driver Appreciation & Wellness Week,” an important step recognizing that part of appreciating drivers is caring about their health and physical wellbeing.

For the men and women that are the backbone of the U.S. economy, one week doesn’t seem hardly enough to say thank you.   We are truly proud to serve the transportation industry by offering services that improve the safety, health, and work experience of thousands of truck drivers across the country. 

To help spread the message of this week and celebrate all that professional drivers do, we asked some of our employees to share why drivers are important to them.  This 2-minute video shows some of their responses. 

This week if you’re traveling, please join us in showing your appreciation by saluting the truck drivers that make this country run.  If you come across a driver at a gas station or rest stop, take a minute to say a quick thank you for all they do.  Without truck drivers, America stops!
