Fueling Our Daily Lives

, /by

national truck driver appreciation weekEveryday, professional truck drivers keep us all operating by delivering many of the basic necessities. We often take these for granted, such as water, food, clothing and fuel. We celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week in the wake of hurricanes Harvey and Irma. It reminds us just how vital truckers are in our daily lives.

Drive My Way is committed to building a community that celebrates and supports all professional truck drivers for your sacrifice and hard work tackling one of the most demanding and vital jobs in our economy. Unlike many other careers, truck driving is a career in which your job and lifestyle are tightly woven together. With great sacrifice and commitment, truck drivers help keep us going every day, as we’ve seen with the delivery of critical supplies before, during and after hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

Today, we celebrate our partnership with Pilot Flying J, the largest operator of travel centers and travel plazas in North America, committed to fueling life’s journeys for all drivers. This mission would not be possible without the thousands of Pilot Flying J drivers that transport Fuel, DEF, Crude Oil and Clean Fuel to all the travel centers, distribution points and oil fields.

Pilot Flying J is celebrating all professional truck drivers for the entire month of September. If you don’t already have the Pilot Flying J mobile app download it and become eligible for various free food and drink offers this month. Additionally, you can earn entries in their 100,000,000 Points Giveaway Sweepstakes by simply fueling up and swiping your MyRewards card.  65,000 people will win. Therefore, more than 1600 daily winners divided into 5 prize levels ($10, $25, $50, $100 and $500). Points automatically load into each winner’s loyalty account.

Truck Driver Appreciation Week Continues with Special Events Nationwide

Truck Driver Appreciation Week

The American Trucking Associations’ (ATA) annual National Truck Driver Appreciation Week continues through Sept. 19. To commemorate the occasion, carriers and truck stops nationwide are offering specials, holding award ceremonies and grilling out.

ATA created appreciation week in 1988 to honor America’s 3.4 million drivers for all their hard work. It has been commemorated every year since then.

“National Truck Driver Appreciation Week provides us the opportunity to honor the millions of men and women who safely and professionally move freight across this great country each and every day,” ATA President and CEO Bill Graves said in a video message launching National Truck Driver Appreciation Week. “We know what a challenging job driving a truck can be, but we also know that trucks move America forward and without each of you we just simply couldn’t get that job done.”

TravelCenters of America takes honoring drivers one step further, hosting special events at many of its TA and Petro locations all month long—up until Oct. 2. Each location will hand out driver appreciation giveaways, and many locations also are celebrating with games, health fairs, dog washing and live music.

“Millions of professional drivers deliver our goods across America safely, securely and on time every day,” said Tom O’Brien, president and CEO of TravelCenters, in a release. “Not only are they handling one of our economy’s most demanding and important jobs, but they are also helping keep our highways safe.
