“We must find the time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives” - John F Kennedy

It’s that time of the year to spread kindness, share the joy of giving, and express gratitude for the little things in life.

With Thanksgiving and many other festivities around the corner, let us honor the often-overlooked efforts of our truck drivers, who play a vital role in ensuring holiday gifts, retail merchandise, and festive goodies reach millions of Americans at their doorsteps.
