As we reflect on the past Thanksgiving and Black Friday, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of family gatherings, festive meals, and shopping deals. But what many people don’t realize is that the backbone of these celebrations—the food on our tables and the products we rush to buy—wouldn’t be possible without the hard work and dedication of truck drivers.

As families across the country gather this Thanksgiving, sharing meals and making cherished memories, it’s important to pause and recognize the unsung heroes who make the holiday possible. Behind the scenes, truck drivers and dispatchers work tirelessly to ensure that the shelves are stocked, fuel is available, and America runs smoothly — even during the busiest travel season of the year.
