Supporting the designation of the week of September 14 through September 20, 2025, as "National Truck Driver Appreciation Week".

This House Resolution expresses support for designating the week of September 14 through September 20, 2025, as "National Truck Driver Appreciation Week" . The resolution acknowledges the critical contributions of the 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the United States, who are considered the backbone of the nation's economy. These drivers are essential for delivering daily necessities and other consumer goods, transporting over 11 billion tons of freight annually, which accounts for about 70 percent of all freight moved. They make significant sacrifices, including time away from their families, to ensure timely, safe, and secure shipments across the country. Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes that truck drivers play an indispensable role in maintaining vital public services, such as medical supply distribution and emergency relief, and contribute to national security by transporting critical military equipment. Their commitment to safe driving and diligence is crucial for protecting all roadway users and ensuring the well-being of United States communities, many of which rely exclusively on their services.
