Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2020 starts on September 13, 2020. We also want to use Driver Appreciation Week to reflect on the ways we’ve moved forward in making drivers’ lives easier and their careers more rewarding. And, we are continually looking at other ways to help our drivers with enjoying time on the job (on the road) like fun contests, new comforts in the truck as we add trucks, better technology and other areas as they come available.
