TRAC Intermodal is Celebrating National Truck Driver Appreciation Week

TRAC Intermodal

September 10th – 14th is National Truck Driver Appreciation Week in recognition of the hard work and dedication of the more than 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the United States.  The commemoration was created by the American Trucking Association (ATA) to thank the drivers that keep the transportation industry moving.

Planned activities include handing out meals, snacks and gifts to all truck drivers who visit these locations.
