The American Trucking Associations has opened the official 2016 National Truck Driver Appreciation Week online store, featuring customizable merchandise designed to show support for the industry’s 3.5 million professional truck drivers.
Notable additions to this year’s e-store include a neon safety shirt, a durable, easy-to-carry search flashlight, and a lightweight, practical backpack, all of which showcase the 2016 NTDAW logo. Popular items from previous years, such as lunchboxes, hats and banners are also available on the NTDAW store.
This year’s National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is September 11-17. ATA encourages motor carriers and suppliers throughout the industry to hold appreciation events for professional truck drivers. ATA First Vice Chairman Kevin Burch, president of Jet Express, is hosting ATA and America’s Road Team for an event at the Jet Express facility in Dayton OH.
The official 2016 NTDAW logo is available for download on the ATA website. The site also offers resources ranging from state proclamation drafts to examples of editorials for trucking industry affiliates to enhance their driver appreciation events.
Sponsors for National Truck Driver Appreciation Week include Help Inc, Velociti, US Legal Services, Smart Drive, and Trucker Path.
