National Trucking Week
SEPTEMBER 15-21, 2024 If you got it, a truck brought it! H ow do you think all that fresh fruit and those containers of
ice cream made it to your local grocery store? Do you have the slightest idea how the books you ordered over the Internet arrived at your door? How does all that gas get delivered to the gas station? It’s thanks to truckers and their reli- able vehicles. Because of them, we enjoy access to a phenomenal amount of products of all types. This quick access to goods and food products is one of the main factors that contribute to our high standard of living in Canada. And yet, it’s a convenience that most of us take for granted. How can we not appre- ciate the 324,000 faith- ful truckers who safely and efficiently deliver all these goods that our communities rely on so heavily? From coast to coast, it’s thanks to the versatility of trucks that manufacturing compa- nies are able to provide national distribution. Inside the trucks that constantly cruise up and down our nation’s highways and secondary roads are 90 percent of all consumer products, part of a $40 billion in- dustry in Canada. With- out trucks, the wheels of business would stop turning and Canadians would suddenly find life much more difficult in- deed. The next time you go grocery shopping or buy clothes for your children, stop and think about how all these products made it to the store.
