From September 15-21 this year, the United States celebrates National Truck Driver Appreciation Week. On behalf of the supply chain and logistics industry, we at CJ Logistics America would like to thank the 3.6 million professional truck drivers who work day in and day out to deliver products and goods across our great country.
The American Trucking Associations states “The impact of truck drivers is felt in every corner of the country, as more than 80% of U.S. communities rely exclusively on trucks to meet their freight transportation needs. From food, clothing, and medicine to household products, construction materials and heavy-duty equipment, the things that fill our lives and power our economy are made available thanks to a truck and a driver behind the wheel.”
The role that truck drivers play in our national economy is an extremely critical one, yet often goes unnoticed or taken for granted. According to the American Trucking Associations, truckers deliver more than 11 billion tons of goods and products every single year, accounting for more than 70% of America’s total annual freight. And not only do goods need to be delivered on time to keep our society functioning, but it also needs to be done safely. Professional truck drivers show extreme dedication to keeping our roads and highways safe, and we appreciate their effort and commitment.
CJ Logistics America is a leader in the transportation management space and works with a number of top brands to meet their freight and trucking needs. For more information on CJ Logistics America’s transportation solutions, click here.
