This resolution formally designates the week of September 14 through September 20, 2025 , as "National Truck Driver Appreciation Week." Its primary purpose is to acknowledge and honor the vital contributions of professional truck drivers across the United States. The resolution highlights that approximately 3.5 million truck drivers serve as the backbone of the U.S. economy, transporting over 11 billion tons of freight annually , which accounts for about 70 percent of all goods moved. These drivers cover billions of miles each year, ensuring the delivery of daily necessities, consumer goods, and critical supplies to communities nationwide. It emphasizes that more than 80 percent of U.S. communities rely exclusively on truck drivers for their commodities, including remote areas. Furthermore, truck drivers play an indispensable role in maintaining public services, delivering medical supplies and emergency relief, and supporting national security by transporting military equipment. The resolution recognizes the significant sacrifices made by these drivers, including time away from their families, and commends their commitment to safety and diligence. Their dedication is crucial for the well-being of the United States and the protection of all roadway users.
