It’s National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, and we wanted to take a moment to show our gratitude to all of our wonderful drivers.

Without the hard work and dedication of professional truck drivers, our way of life would come to a grinding halt. From the food we eat and the clothes on our back to the tech we use in our homes, schools, and workplaces, it all has to be delivered via truck. So we’d just like to say: Thank you, truck drivers.

Operating such a large, complex vehicle is hardly an easy task. It takes serious time and effort to acquire the skills needed to handle a truck — and not everyone can do it. And that’s just learning the basics — HDL’s drivers are the cream of the crop. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to being the very best at what you do.

There aren’t many other jobs out there where a momentary lapse in attention could be dangerous — but for truck drivers, it’s a daily reality. That’s why our drivers are hypervigilant when it comes to safety. You know every best practice, every company rule, every newly-updated law, and scrupulously follow each one to the letter — Thank you for your professionalism in every aspect of your job.

It’s no secret that truck drivers are a breed apart — independent, tough, and capable. Without that legendary truck driver spirit, our nation, and our lives, would look very different. You make a difference in the world every day, just by virtue of being you. And we sincerely thank you.

Normally around this time of year Wendy and her team are busy planning and looking forward to seeing you all at our annual Driver Appreciation breakfast. Unfortunately, 2020 is not a normal year as you’re all aware. We appreciate your patience as this year’s breakfast will be delayed due to Covid-19, but we’ll let you know as soon as we can safely serve it.
