H.K. Truck Center Recognizes Professional Drivers During 2023 National Truck Driver Appreciation Week
Today, H.K. Truck Center, along with American Trucking Associations and the entire trucking industry, is beginning a weeklong celebration of the millions of professional truck drivers who deliver America’s freight safely and securely every day.
“The nation’s truckers are the lifeblood of our economy – delivering critical goods to farms, factories, stores, hospitals, and homes,” said Henry Knabe, President of H.K. Truck Center. “National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is a time to rally around our professional truck drivers and show them the appreciation they deserve every day. We are thrilled to recognize these men and women to show their dedication, perseverance, and determination on our nation’s highways.”
Celebrated annually, this year’s National Truck Driver Appreciation Week runs from September 10-16. Professional truck drivers always step up when they are needed most and have kept the economy on its feet despite facing unprecedented obstacles.
There are roughly 3.5 million professional truck drivers nationwide, delivering the essential goods our families rely on, from food to fuel to medicine to clothing. The hard-working men and women behind the wheel safely transport almost 11.5 billion tons of goods and products every year, which account for more than 70% of America’s total annual freight. 80% of U.S. communities depend solely on trucking to deliver goods.
This year, we ask you to join us and ATA in recognizing the significant contributions our professional truck drivers make to our lives. Their efforts contribute greatly to our quality of life and truly move America forward.
