Truck Drivers Are Feeling the Love All Around the U.S.
Truck Drivers Are Feeling The Love & Appreciation During This Time
With the recent news of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, many people are scrounging the grocery stores to stock up on food, toiletries, water, and anything else deemed as essentials. This means that truck drivers are extremely needed (job security!) to keep America moving by delivering goods on time and as safely as possible.
Now, perhaps more than ever, the general public is aware that it's the hard-working men and women in the trucking industry bringing those essential supplies to each store. With some of the U.S. restaurants shutting down and most others going to carry-out only, people are stepping up to show truck drivers some extra love during this unprecedented time that we are currently in with our nation. Take a look below at some of the awesome acts of kindness and appreciation for truck drivers from this past week...
