The American Trucking Associations and its affiliates will celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week Aug. 24-30.

“Our truck drivers are the industry’s most important asset,” said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves. “They deliver America safely each and every day. It is a real tribute to our drivers that so many states and affiliated organizations have joined our efforts to recognize them this year.”

National Truck Driver Appreciation Week will follow the National Truck Driving Championships, which will take place in Columbus, Ohio, on Aug. 19-23.
