Each September, the trucking industry pauses to shine a light on the men and women who keep America moving. National Driver Appreciation Week is more than just a date on the calendar, it’s a chance to recognize the incredible contributions professional drivers make every day. At Expediter Services (ES), we are especially proud to honor the members of our community who exemplify hard work, resilience, and dedication.
Professional drivers are the backbone of the U.S. economy. As Jason Williams, President and CEO of ES, shared recently on the Success In Trucking Podcast, this week “brings visibility to one of the most important professions in the national economy.” From stocking grocery shelves to delivering critical supplies, drivers play a role in nearly every aspect of daily life.
And yet, their job is far from easy. Trucking means working in an environment that changes constantly. Drivers face shifting schedules, long hours, unpredictable weather, and the unique challenges of coordinating with shippers, receivers, and the general public. Despite all of this, they continue to deliver, literally, for the rest of us. That dedication is exactly why, as Jason emphasized, “Driver Appreciation Week is not just a marketing scheme. It is a meaningful opportunity to stop and say thank you.”
At ES, we echo that gratitude wholeheartedly. We know the sacrifices that go into a life on the road, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that the members of our community Never Stand Alone. Whether through equipment, services, or ongoing support, our mission has always been to stand shoulder to shoulder with independent contractors, owner-operators, and fleet owners as they navigate the demands of this industry.
We invite you to hear more from Jason Williams by listening to his full conversation on the Success In Trucking Podcast. His words offer perspective, gratitude, and a reminder of just how vital drivers are, not only during this week of recognition, but every single day.
From all of us at ES: Thank you, drivers. You keep America moving, and you Never Stand Alone.
