September 11th through the 17th is National Driver Appreciation week; a time dedicated to showing our respect and gratitude to all professional truck drivers for the hard work they do. 

We ask that everyone takes a moment to recognize the men and women on whom we depend on to deliver our food, medical supplies, goods and materials that keep America running.

When you see a truck driver, take the time to say thanks! 

Did You Know?

Truck drivers deliver 35 million tons of goods to 29 million businesses each day, most of which are on asphalt roads. Our drivers are vital to the asphalt pavement industry. They haul the equipment, supplies, and materials to our jobsites, helping to make our lives—and our roads—run smoothly. 

We hope everyone can reflect & show gratitude for America’s drivers, not just this week, but everyday. Their important role keeps our communities operating efficiently.

American Trucking Associations is the largest national trade association for the trucking industry. Through a federation of 50 affiliated state trucking associations and industry-related conferences and councils, ATA is the voice of the industry America depends on most to move our nation’s freight.
