Honoring Professional Drivers During Driver Appreciation Week
At Knight Transportation, we cherish the hardworking men and women who keep our country rolling, 18 wheels at a time. Every day, professional drivers across the nation move the freight that fuels our economy, delivers essential goods, and keeps communities connected. Driver Appreciation Week is a time to pause and recognize not only our Knight drivers but also every driver in the industry for the vital role they play in America’s supply chain.
From food and medical supplies to the everyday products we rely on, nearly everything we eat, wear, and use has been on a truck at some point. Without drivers, life as we know it simply could not function.
"Drivers are the backbone of this country. They bring us everything from food to medical supplies. And without them, life as we know it simply could not function."
At Knight, we asked each of our 22 terminals to share what makes their drivers so special. View the video to hear the powerful and heartfelt words from our terminals.
Drivers Sacrifice
Drivers sacrifice time away from family and friends to keep freight moving. They face breakdowns, delays, shipper issues, and long hours, yet they continue to approach their work with commitment, grit, and pride. Their stories from the road inspire us, and their professionalism represents not just Knight, but the entire industry, with honor.
"Your hard work and long hours and dedication often go unseen. We're truly grateful for your professionalism, sacrifice, and commitment to safety."
Thank You Drivers!
This week, and every week, we want our drivers to know that their efforts are seen, respected, and deeply appreciated. This appreciation comes not just from our company, but by customers and communities nationwide.
To all the men and women behind the wheel: Thank you. Thank you for your sacrifice, your dedication, your professionalism, and your relentless commitment to keeping America moving. You are the heart of Knight Transportation and the backbone of this country.
On behalf of everyone at Knight and our extended family of brands, we wish all drivers a Happy Driver Appreciation Week!
Stay safe, and know that you are valued, today and every day!
