Trucking Moves America Forward supports the annual National Truck Driver Appreciation Week with a public awareness campaign to acknowledge and support America’s professional truck drivers.
“We are honored to pay homage to America’s professional truck drivers on the front lines who supply our nation with everything we need, moving 11.5 billion tons of the nation’s freight each year,” said Kevin Burch, TMAF co-chair and M.T.S. VP Sales & Governmental Affairs. “I am proud of the participation of the state trucking associations and companies who joined the TMAF #ThankATrucker program to showcase their safest truck drivers and be part of the groundswell of countrywide celebrations.”
TMAF secured significant participation this year for its monthlong annual #ThankATrucker billboard advertising campaign from state trucking associations and companies, totaling 32, the most during any NTDAW timeframe. Impressions from the campaign will total more than 26 million.
