Every September, the trucking industry comes together for National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, happening this year from September 14–20, 2025. This special week is dedicated to recognizing the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices of the professional truck drivers who keep America’s economy moving forward.
Truck drivers are the backbone of our nation’s supply chain — delivering essential goods like food, medicine, fuel, and building materials. Without truck drivers, grocery store shelves would be empty, hospitals would lack critical supplies, and businesses would face major disruptions.
Why Truck Driver Appreciation Week Matters
The life of a truck driver isn’t easy. Long hours on the road, time away from family, and navigating changing weather, traffic, and regulations make trucking one of the most challenging careers out there. Truck Driver Appreciation Week is a chance for companies, communities, and customers to say thank you and show support for these hardworking men and women.
At Midwest Carriers, we recognize the vital role our drivers play every single day. We’re proud to support and celebrate them during this week — and every week.
Ways to Celebrate Truck Driver Appreciation Week
Looking for ways to honor the drivers who keep America moving? Here are a few ideas:
- Say Thank You – A handwritten note, phone call, or social media shout-out can brighten a driver’s day.
- Support Local Truck Stops and Services – Many truck stops offer discounts, meals, or special events during this week.
- Share the Road Safely – Give trucks space, be patient, and respect the job they’re doing. Road safety is one of the best ways to support drivers.
- Learn More About Trucking – Understanding the challenges and importance of trucking helps foster appreciation for drivers.
- Join the Online Conversation – Use hashtags like #ThankATrucker, #TruckDriverAppreciationWeek, and #TruckingStrong to share your support.
Our Commitment to Truck Drivers
At Midwest Carriers, our drivers are the heart of everything we do. For Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2025, we’ll be handing out a special gift to each of our drivers and hosting daily raffles for prizes throughout the week.
