Thank you truck drivers

To the Truckers Across the Country and the World, Thank You!

You know the saying, "if you got it, a trucker brought it to you!"

This week is a special week - it's National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, and it's dedicated to honoring all truckers across the country that keep us moving forward. Almost every aspect of daily life is made possible because a truck driver delivered the goods and resources we need.

The professional men and women behind the wheel have one of the most demanding and important jobs, and we thank them for their continued commitment and service to the industry. This week is a way to show appreciation to the 3.6 million+ truckers who not only deliver our goods safely, securely, and on time, but also keep our highways safe.

National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is running from September 12th-18th, so let's express our gratitude to all truckers this week.

To the truckers, thank you! Read below on some of the special deals businesses are doing for National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.

Simple Ways to Thank a Trucker

national truck driver appreciation week 2021

If you know a trucker or see one this week, thank them for their continued hard work! We have some simple ways that you can do to give back to truckers.

Thank a Trucker In-Person at a Gas Station or Rest Stop

There are a few ways to express your gratitude when you see them in person. Say thank you when you see a trucker and consider giving them a gift card for gas, a local store, or a restaurant. You can also pay for their drink or meal when they’re taking a break!

Thank a Trucker on the Road

When you see a trucker on the road, give them a wave, thumbs up, or even gesture to have them pump the horn!

Most importantly, be considerate when sharing the road with a truck driver. They’re hauling heavy cargo in an 18-wheeler, so be respectful of the truckers when you’re driving. When passing a truck, make sure to signal, provide room ahead of the truck, and be aware of the trucker’s blind spot.

Thank a Trucker with a Pre-Thought Gift

Gift a truck driver a personal care package filled with essentials, like water, snacks, hand sanitizer, etc, or leave them a thank you note on your front door.

At US Cargo Control, we care about our customers and getting them what they want, when they need it. If you have any questions about our products, give our a team a call at 866-444-9990.
