“Hopefully, you now appreciate the significance of what you and your fellow drivers do every day. Very little if any product moves through North America without being touched by a truck driver at some point. Whether it is the end consumer buying the product at the store or the person working in a factory or warehouse, they are dependent on the truck driver doing their job and getting the product where it needs to be. Truck driving is truly an essential job!” – CPC President Butch Wallis

“One thing has and will likely always be true about most drivers: You don’t do it for the glory or recognition you are due and have earned. Most do it because they enjoy doing what they do.
