Canada\u2019s trucking industry is gearing up for National Trucking Week.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s event runs from September 4 \u2013 10. The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), the country\u2019s national trucking group, in conjunction with the provincial trucking associations, launched National Trucking Week many years ago to spotlight the important contributions made by the 400,000 Canadians who work in the industry and keep the economy moving. The week also serves as a platform for raising awareness of how to safely share the road with a truck.<\/p>\n
Provincial trucking associations, carriers, industry suppliers and other stakeholders are encouraged to undertake activities in their own province to mark the event. In previous years, provincial associations have marked the occasion with newspaper supplements, radio advertising, contests, special promotions, and special events at truck stops and roadside inspection stations.<\/p>\n
Carriers and industry suppliers have hosted BBQs, breakfasts, truck washes, offered special giveaways to employees and marked the week event with a wide variety of activities.<\/p>\n
Various events across the country will bring the trucking community and others together to celebrate a job well done, to recognize those who make it happen, and to promote the industry\u2019s dedication to Canada\u2019s economy, to environmental enhancement and as always to the highest standards of safety. Every company has its own unique way to show drivers and their families how much they\u2019re appreciated,\u201d says CTA president David Bradley.<\/p>\n
This year I hope the celebrations will be bigger and better than ever. We salute the men and women who form the backbone of the trucking industry. Without you the country would literally stop!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
