As we gather around the table this year with family and friends, pause. Take a few extra minutes to recognize and thank a trucker that made it all possible. Each year truck drivers work tirelessly around the clock to deliver the goods that make up your Thanksgiving meal.
The American tradition of Thanksgiving involves the consumption of an astonishing amount of food. with approximately 51 million turkeys, 80 million pounds of cranberries, 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins, and 2.4 billion pounds of sweet potatoes consumed on this special day. Truck drivers enable these festive feasts and the exchange of holiday gifts through their tireless efforts. They play a vital role in transporting these goods to homes across the country during the holiday season. They are the unsung heroes behind the scenes, ensuring that the spirit of Thanksgiving and the joy of the holiday season can be shared with loved ones far and wide. Without truck drivers, the meals and gifts that go around during the holidays wouldn’t be possible.
The Paper Transport family would like to say thank you to all the drivers on our nation’s roadways.
Thanks for making Thanksgiving possible. Have a great holiday and don’t forget to thank a trucker!
