Penske Celebrates Driver Appreciation Weeks in September

During the month of September, Penske recognizes the tremendous contributions of our professional truck drivers. National Trucking Week is celebrated in Canada Sept. 1-7, 2024, and National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is observed in the United States Sept. 15-21, 2024.

More than 11,000 drivers support our dedicated contract carriage, distribution center management and Epes Transport System (truckload services) teams.

Their impact is felt far beyond our roadways and loading docks. As critical players in our global supply chains, drivers are responsible for most of the products we rely on daily – from vehicle components to groceries and lifesaving medical supplies.

“Not only do they work hard to execute accurate, timely deliveries,” says Mike Medeiros, senior vice president for dedicated contract carriage, “they honor their critical responsibility to operate safely alongside the motoring public.”

Drivers, we thank you for driving the world forward!
