At Waggon, we’re committed to recognizing the hard work and dedication of every driver, and we know it’s just as important to treat them with the respect and support they deserve. This Trucking Dive article outlines key takeaways for ensuring our drivers feel valued, from providing better working conditions to fostering a culture of appreciation.

Happy National Driver Appreciation Week to all drivers! We recognize that our drivers are the backbone of our industry, and their dedication, hard work, and commitment keeps our customer's freight moving day in and day out. And for that we say thank you! #DriverAppreciation #ThankADriver #NationalDriverAppreciationWeek #TransInternational #Logistics #Transportation"

It was nice to see the many comments over the last week or so that shared positive thoughts and appreciation for America’s truck drivers.  This group of professionals is certainly deserving of our gratitude and appreciation. Perhaps there is an opportunity here for more shippers and receivers to take this a step further and ensure that they: 1) train their personnel to treat drivers with respect and common courtesy, 2) effectively manage check in/out processes to enable timely turnaround, 3) establish operating practices that optimize timely loading/unloading, 4) provide a clean and safe environment for the drivers to get a cup of coffee or cold drink along with access to a restroom, 5) work collaboratively with the driver/carrier to reschedule when necessary and 6) provide onsite (or arrange close by) parking for drivers hitting their HOS limits. I believe these actions would clearly demonstrate to America’s professional truck drivers that they are truly appreciated all year round.  It will also likely help remove hidden costs in the transportation chain such as reducing driver turnover and improving truck utilization.  A win for all involved.

As we celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, let’s take a moment to recognize the vital role truck drivers play in keeping our grocery shelves stocked. With 70.5% of U.S. food transported by truck, supporting these essential workers is crucial for maintaining our food supply and managing grocery prices. Addressing truck driver shortages now is key to preparing for future supply chain challenges. #TruckDriverAppreciation #FoodSupplyChain #GroceryLogistics #NTDAW24 #ThankATrucker American Trucking Associations

National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is here again! Best Bay is truly grateful for the long-standing partnerships we have cultivated with our carriers throughout the years. Truck drivers play a pivotal role in keeping goods moving across the country. Let's dive in to some fun facts: 🚛 Economic Impact: The American Trucking Associations (ATA) reports that trucks move 71% of all the freight in the United States, equating to over 10.5 billion tons of goods transported annually. 🚛 Miles Covered: According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the average long-haul truck driver in the U.S. covers approximately 125,000 miles per year, which is equivalent to traveling around the Earth's equator five times. 🚛 Job Opportunities: The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 5% growth in employment for heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers from 2019 to 2029, adding over 99,000 jobs to the industry. #NTDAW24 #ThankATrucker #driverappreciation #logistics
