The American Trucking Associations announced that National Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2009 will take place Nov. 1-7.
NTDAW celebrates the 3.5 million professional truck drivers delivering life's essentials across the country everyday.
These dates mark a shift from previous years, and will coincide with the start of the busy holiday shipping season. Events will take place to honor the professional driver and remind the public that everything they rely on daily is delivered by a truck driver.
"ATA is proud to continue the tradition of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week," said Bill Graves, ATA president & CEO. "The trucking industry values the men and women who safely deliver not only our food, medicine and clothing, but also items like the movies you watch at the movie theater. This week is a time where companies, customers and the American family can show their appreciation and honor all drivers and their families."
