This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim September 14-20, 2025, as Truck Driver Appreciation Week in New York State, recognizing the critical role of the approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the nation's economy and daily life. The resolution highlights how truck drivers deliver essential goods safely and securely, maintain highway safety, and have been particularly crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic. It acknowledges the trucking industry's commitment to safety, sustainability, and professionalism, including efforts by groups like America's Road Team, which conducts outreach and education about the trucking profession. The legislative body seeks to pause its deliberations to honor these workers and requests that an official, engrossed copy of the resolution be transmitted to Governor Hochul, symbolizing the state's appreciation for truck drivers and their significant contributions to society.
