Happy National Truck Driver Appreciation Week!

Happy National Truck Driver Appreciation Week!

National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW) is an annual event officially launched in 1988 by the American Trucking Associations (ATA) as a way to recognize and celebrate truck drivers for their essential role in America’s economy. This year, it runs September 14–20, with the theme “From Highways to Homes: We Appreciate Truck Drivers.”

NTDAW highlights how the roughly 3.6 million U.S. professional truckers deliver daily necessities, from food to medicine, keeping the economy and communities moving forward. It’s a time for the public, employers, and fellow drivers to recognize the dedication it takes to do this job right.

To celebrate Trucker Appreciation, the American Association of Owner Operators (AAOO) is giving back to the hardworking men and women who keep America moving! AAOO has launched an exciting Trucker Appreciation Giveaway, offering amazing prizes to show gratitude for all that truckers do.
