Celebrating and Appreciating Drivers in the News - National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is an industry-wide initiative during the week of September 10 that celebrates the true backbone of the industry - truck drivers. As the leading news source for the transportation industry, Transport Topics - with the help of our partner Kenworth - is taking the opportunity to put a spotlight on this week and help spread the message of thanks. The gallery features a photo collage of drivers from across the country. We've also gathered a collection of our recent driver-centric news and programs. Read, watch and listen to stories about the truck drivers who inspire us.
