As Driver Appreciation Week approaches on September 10 – 16, many of the industry’s most prominent companies will be celebrating drivers in unique ways.
Whether a newcomer to the industry or a proven vet, Driver Appreciation Week comes with many excellent benefits for drivers; however, many truckers may need to learn how to seize them.
For your benefit, here’s a little about Driver Appreciation Week and some of the perks for truckers in 2023.
History
In 1988, the American Trucking Association launched Driver Appreciation Week to honor and celebrate the truckers who keep our nation moving.
