National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, September 13-19, is a time to recognize and thank the freight industry’s 3.5 million truck drivers for their hard work and service. This year takes on special significance due to the critical role truck drivers have played in the face of the COVID pandemic. Over the years, and throughout the COVID pandemic, truck drivers have delivered household goods, groceries, and other critical supplies safely and securely. Nearly every aspect of daily life is made possible because a truck driver delivered the goods and resources people need.
Full Tilt is fortunate to have so many dedicated and qualified drivers delivering our freight. Many of our drivers have been with us since the day we opened Full Tilt Transportation in July of 2017. Full Tilt Logistics opened in 2014. We are selective in who we hire to operate our equipment and because of our high standards, we truly do have the best drivers on the road today.
Communities, businesses, and Americans in all fifty states appreciate truck drivers, realizing the essential role drivers play in their lives. From children passing out lunches, to "I Heart Truck" signs across America's highways, the public has taken notice of the essential role truck drivers play in their lives. President Trump and Secretary of Transportation, Elaine Chao said, "Thank God for truckers."
National Truck Driver Appreciation Week offers a great opportunity to recognize and thank all the professional truck drivers! Their hard work and commitment touch nearly every aspect of our daily life. It is an important time for America to pay respect and thank all the professional truck drivers for their hard work and commitment in undertaking one of our economy's most demanding and important jobs. These 3.5 million professional men and women not only deliver our goods safely, securely, and on time, they also keep our highways safe.
Full Tilt wants to extend its gratitude and deep appreciation to all drivers.
