National Truck Driver Appreciation Week

September 15, 2013 starts National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.  This is a time to honor all truck drivers for their hard work and commitment in not only delivering our goods safely, securely and on time, but for also keeping our highways safe.  Truck driving is one of America’s most demanding and important jobs.  In 2012 68.5 percent of the U.S. freight  was delivered by truck.  Please take the time, not just during this special week, but as often as possible to thank a truck driver for his or her services.

From the DALKO family, we would like to thank all the truck drivers across the nation who keep this country moving.
