Canada\u2019s professional truck drivers are the unsung heroes of the national economy. By delivering the critical goods and products Canadians rely on, these truck operators support the backbone of our social infrastructure. While they deserve our appreciation all year-round, this upcoming Labour Day weekend marks the start of National Trucking Week (Sept. 1-7) where the industry, the public and elected officials\u00a0 can express their respect and gratitude to the hard-working women and men who keep Canada moving.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike the famous saying goes, if you got it, a truck brought it,\u201d said CTA chair Greg Munden. \u201cI am proud to recognize all the amazing people who keep our country running \u2013 from the professional truck drivers who dutifully deliver for Canadians, to the dispatchers who help them navigate our busy roadways to the heavy-duty technicians who keep the equipment rolling safely. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

National Trucking Week was started by the Canadian Trucking Alliance in the late 1990s as a way to embrace the industry and spotlight the contributions of the hundreds of thousands of men and women of the Canadian trucking industry who keep the country\u2019s freight moving, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n

During NTW, various events will be taking place across the country in which the trucking community comes together to celebrate the industry; recognize those who are the backbone of Canada\u2019s economy and to promote the industry\u2019s dedication to safety and environmental enhancement.<\/p>\n

There will be barbecues, picnics, truck show \u2018n shines and all kinds of other things happening at company facilities throughout Canada. Community leaders and local politicians are encouraged to attend constituency events.<\/p>\n

NTW is also an opportunity for companies to showcase the industry and the many opportunities it offers to people embarking on new career paths. CTA\u2019s landmark\u00a0\u00a0Choose to Truck campaign<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a great resource to promote the industry.<\/p>\n
