Thank a trucker for your new home! – Did you know that more than 1 million new residences are build in the U.S. each year? From condominiums to single-family homes, truckers put all types of construction materials into the hands of skilled tradesmen. They also help homeowners by delivering many different goods that help outfit their homes with the necessary comforts.
Thank a trucker for your new car! - More than 16.5 million new vehicles were sold in 2014 and major automakers relied on the trucking industry’s just-in-time deliveries to keep assembly lines running and, later, for stocking dealership lots with new vehicles, allowing millions of Americans to drive off the lot ensconced in that familiar “new car smell.”
Thank a trucker for delivering life saving medicine! – Think for a moment about the vast quantity of medicine needed in hospitals to help keep our nation healthy. From syringes and catheters to radiopharmaceuticals and oxygen, truckers’ round-the-clock deliveries to the nation’s 4,974 hospitals help medical personnel provide critical patient care.
Thank a trucker for helping make life’s precious moments possible! – As you plan your special occasions, think about how truckers are responsible for transporting goods from manufacturers to retailers. Or, how fresh flowers arrive from the fields to the florists! Truckers also transport the drinks that allow us to celebrate many different milestones together.
