National Trucking Week 2023: Thank you Sponsors!
Did you know that National Trucking Week, which began on September 3rd this year, was started by the Canadian Trucking Alliance in the late 1990s?
It was a way to embrace the industry and spotlight the contributions of the hundreds of thousands of men and women of the Canadian trucking industry who keep the country’s freight moving, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Thank you to everyone who helped make the BCTA and SafetyDriven Driver Appreciation Pop-ups throughout the week a success!
