Truck Driver Appreciation Week Is On

This week is National Truck Driver Appreciation Week. Coordinated each year by the ATA, this week-long event is put on to show the country’s 3.2 million truck drivers that we all appreciate their important work. 

Many of the ATA’s fleet members and state associations will be hosting ceremonies, cookouts and other driver appreciation celebrations, as well as giving out rewards, bonuses and other gifts.

Other organizations will also be participating in National Truck Driver Appreciation Week. Here is the current list of promotions and events taking place this week:

Pilot Flying J’s Driver Appreciation Coupons:

Pilot Flying J will be offering coupons all week long for free 20-ounce waters, fountain drinks, and coffee. Plus, if drivers buy a Cinnabon product, they’ll get another one for free. The stores will also have local celebrations with in-store giveaways.

Pegasus TransTech $10k in giveaways:

Pegasus TransTech is offering rewards to drivers who download the Transflo Mobile+ smartphone app. Every driver who downloads the app by Oct. 31 will be placed into a drawing to win a $100 Visa gift card, and 100 drivers will be named as gift card winners on Nov. 1.

The app allows drivers to scan and submit documents with their smartphones, as well as receive load tenders, message within the fleet, and report accidents, shortages and damages. It is available on both Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store.

Overdrive’s iLuvMyTrucker campaign:

Finally, Overdrive is recognizing truck drivers with its iLuvMyTrucker campaign. Friends and family have nominated their favorite truckers, out of which seven truckers will be chosen to feature this week. Click here to see all of the drivers who were nominated.
