Border-to-Border Nebraska Honors its Essential Truck Drivers and their Families
NEBRASKA - Nearly every aspect of daily life is made possible because a truck driver delivered the goods and resources people need.
Truck Driver Appreciation Week, Sept. 13-19, is an important time for America to pay respect and thank the professional truck drivers for their hard work and commitment in undertaking one of our economy's most demanding and important jobs. These 3.5 million professional men and women not only deliver our goods safely, securely, and on time, they also keep our highways safe.
Shining a light on the families of truckers, the Kearney Chamber, Nebraska Trucking Association and Schwans Food Company delivered a meal for four to Professional Truck Driver Dalton Jordan and family on September 18th.
“Every driver deserves our appreciation,” said Dave Zelnio, NTA Director of Operations and Communication. “Their family holds down the fort so our drivers can deliver. Family support can be a challenge and it’s worth recognizing.”
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Nebraska Trucking Association has been delivering free meals, face masks and sanitizer to truckers at Nebraska locations like Sapp Bros Travel Center, Bosselman Travel Center and Shoemakers Travel Center throughout the year.
Dalton Jordan, selected at random, is one of 50 families to be honored across the state of Nebraska this week.
