The Backbone of U.S. Freight

Truck drivers are essential to the U.S. economy, responsible for moving roughly 11 billion tons of cargo each year—an astonishing 72% of the nation’s freight. These professionals often spend around 240 nights away from their families annually, ensuring that goods reach their intended destinations.

“Every day we’re grateful to truck drivers for their unwavering commitment to one of the most challenging and crucial jobs,” said Michael Castagnetto, president of North American surface transportation for C.H. Robinson. “This week especially, we want drivers to hear our appreciation and the world’s appreciation. We thank you for every hour on the road. Our lives wouldn’t be the same without you.”

Honoring Their Dedication

This year, C.H. Robinson is honoring truck drivers through various initiatives:

• In-Person Celebrations:

  The company is hosting events in 13 cities across the United States and Mexico. These celebrations, held at company, customer, and carrier locations, are opportunities for employees to express gratitude by sharing food, care packages, and tokens of appreciation with drivers. In collaboration with the St. Christopher Truckers Fund, C.H. Robinson will also distribute health and wellness packets, offering valuable resources to help drivers manage the physical demands of their profession. Carriers in Latin America and Europe will also receive expressions of thanks.

• Social Media Campaign:

  Under the hashtag #ThankATruckDriver, C.H. Robinson encourages everyone to show their gratitude on social media. For each post tagged during the appreciation week, the C.H. Robinson Foundation will donate $10—up to $50,000—to the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund, which supports truck drivers in times of need.

• Increased Donations:

  Adding a new layer to their philanthropy, the C.H. Robinson Foundation will donate an additional $15 to the St. Christopher Fund for every hour employees volunteer for Truck Driver Appreciation Week activities.

“I love celebrating carriers during Truck Driver Appreciation Week,” said Cody Griggs, vice president of digital brokerage at C.H. Robinson. “These events are a wonderful opportunity to meet and personally thank drivers for their invaluable contributions. I encourage everyone to join us in showing their appreciation with the #ThankATruckDriver hashtag and helping us support truck drivers everywhere.”

Through these efforts, C.H. Robinson reinforces its commitment to the trucking community, recognizing the critical role drivers play in maintaining the flow of goods in our nation. Join the movement to #ThankATrucker and contribute to a cause that supports those who ensure our lives run smoothly.
