Do you Appreciate Truck Drivers

Whenever you go to the grocery store or to a department store or even to the gas station, do you ever stop to think about how the products you are purchasing were delivered there? Chances are that a truck delivered the shipment of goods so that you could get the supplies you needed.

Do you take truck drivers for granted?

Most people would be ashamed to admit that they take truck drivers for granted or have never even thought about it. Lets be honest, truck drivers and auto transport drivers do not have the best reputations. Just look at how they are depicted in movies and TV shows. The fact of the matter is, that someone has to transport various goods from one state to another; from one city to another. So, as much as we might complain about having to share the roads with trucks, let’s think about some ways that truck drivers help people like you and me everyday:


-Auto Transport- shipping cars to dealerships as well as shipping our personal vehicles every time we move.
-Delivering Furniture- Furniture stores receive deliveries via truck all the time, and state to state relocation.
-Construction- Construction supplies are delivered via truck so that houses, schools and government buildings can be constructed.
-Animals- Many farm animals are delivered via truck (i.e.cows, pigs, goats, sheep, etc.)
-Delivering Food- How else do you think food gets to the supermarket?
-Mail-how about those bills that are pilling up on the counter, ok, you may not like this one, but the BDay cards were on a large truck at some point.
-You should get the point by now, they pretty much deliver everything in everyday life....yes trains and planes deliver goods too.

So next time you see that large transport truck trying to change lanes, go ahead and let him over,and if you see an auto transport truck trying to pull in or out of a parking lot, stop and let him in or out...think about how hard driving can be sometimes in your car, now think if your car was 80 ft long and weighed 45,000 lbs.... transport drivers work very hard and are a very big part of how your everyday life works, whether you have ever stopped and thought about it or not is a different story.....lets just see if we can make it a little easier on MR.
