National Trucking Week 2021: Moving Forward Together
For over two decades our nation has earmarked the first week in September for celebrating the contributions of the women and men in the Canadian trucking industry. Although the past 18 months have certainly had their challenges, we must celebrate the fact that professional drivers, who were tested to the pandemic limits, embraced a much-deserved moment in the spotlight. National Trucking Week 2021 will be one to remember as a sincere appreciation for truck drivers has grown out of the realization that our country cannot function without this critical link of the supply chain.
How Are You Celebrating National Trucking Week?
National Trucking Week is almost here! If you have any activities planned to mark the week, please let us know by email and we would be happy to feature them in the September 7th issue of the Bulletin.
