American Substance Abuse Professionals has “Miles of Gratitude” for America’s Truck Drivers during 2023 National Truck Driver Appreciation Week
Cockeysville, Maryland — Today, American Substance Abuse Professionals (ASAP), along with American Trucking Associations and the entire trucking industry is beginning a weeklong celebration of the millions of professional truck drivers who deliver America’s freight safely and securely every day.
“During the best, and worst times, our nation’s professional truck drivers work hard delivering goods,” to the American people,” said Sandra Serrano, Chief Development Officer (CDO) of ASAP. “National Truck Driver Appreciation week is a time to honor our professional truck drivers and show them the appreciation they deserve daily. We are thrilled to recognize these individuals who show their dedication, perseverance, and determination on our nation’s highways.”
Celebrated annually, this year’s National Truck Driver Appreciation Week runs from September 10-16, 2023. Professional truck drivers always step up when needed most and have kept the economy on its feet despite facing unprecedented obstacles.
There are more than 3.5 million professional truck drivers nationwide delivering the essential goods our families rely on – from food to fuel to medicine to clothing. The hard-working drivers behind the wheel safely transport over 10 billion tons of goods and products every year, which accounts for 70% of America’s total annual freight. 80% of U.S. communities depend solely on trucking to deliver goods.
