Imagine a world without professional drivers. We did, and realized how quickly our lives would change. Take a look:
In honor of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week – Sept. 8-14 – we are launching the ‘Thank a Driver’ initiative to recognize the more than 3.5 million hardworking professional drivers. The campaign is inspired by and includes data from the American Trucking Associations (ATA), that shows what the impacts would be if there were to be no pro drivers making deliveries.
Did you know that professional drivers hauled more than $10.4 trillion worth of merchandise in one year? That is a lot to be thankful for.
Join us and take a moment to thank a professional driver. When you see them on the road, give them a wave of thanks because they are probably hauling something that we use every day.
To thank drivers and join the conversation, follow @PilotFlyingJ social media channels and use #thankyoudrivers.
We will be collecting thank you messages all month and will be sharing some of them here on the blog. Visit pilotflyingj.com/driver-appreciation to learn more.
In addition to the ‘Thank a Driver’ initiative, we are celebrating Driver Appreciation the entire month of September with a free drink available in the Pilot Flying J app every day. Drivers can save even more in-store with deals in the app on food and merchandise. We also are celebrating professional drivers with exclusive offers including free showers all month with automatic Shower Power on the first diesel fill, free Truck Care Mid-Trip Inspections and, from Sept. 9 – 15, earn 100 myRewards points when mobile fueling with the app.
A sincere thank you to all the professional drivers that work hard to keep us all moving and stocked. It’s a tough job out there and we really appreciate everything you do.
