Bill > SRes225

This resolution designates the week of September 14 through September 20, 2025, as "National Truck Driver Appreciation Week" to recognize the critical contributions of the approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the United States. The resolution highlights the trucking industry's essential role in the nation's economy, noting that truck drivers transport over 11 billion tons of freight annually, which represents about 70 percent of all freight moved in the country. It emphasizes that more than 80 percent of U.S. communities rely exclusively on truck drivers for commodity delivery, and these professionals make significant personal sacrifices by spending long periods away from their families to ensure timely and secure shipments. The resolution also underscores truck drivers' importance in national security by transporting military equipment and personnel, and in providing vital public services such as medical supply and food distribution, particularly during emergencies. By designating this special week, the resolution aims to recognize truck drivers' dedication, skills, and critical contribution to maintaining the quality of life and functioning of the United States.
