President Bush is among those congratulating truck drivers during National Truck Driver Week August 21-27.
The President said in a letter to the American Trucking Associations (ATA) that "our nation relies on the men and women of the transportation industry to sustain critical networks of commerce and advance our economy."
National Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2005 is when America's 3.24 million drivers are recognized for their work moving the goods and products making up the national economy.
