There is no doubt that, as critical elements of the supply chain, truck drivers are the backbone of our nation. They’re responsible for transporting pieces of infrastructure, stocking the shelves at our local grocery stores, and even executing the next-day deliveries we all love so much.

Our modern society would look vastly different if not for the dedication of professional truck drivers, so it’s equally important that we take every opportunity we have to show our gratitude.

This year’s National Truck Driver Appreciation Week falls on September 11-17.
