Utah is known as the 'Commerce Crossroads of the West,' thanks to its position at the heart of seven major, long-distance highway freight routes.

To show our appreciation during #NationalTruckDriverAppreciationWeek, we teamed up with the Utah Trucking Association and Utah Transit Authority at the Perry Port of Entry to hand out some goodie bags and express our gratitude to all the truckers passing through.
