Since the vital role a truck driver plays happens behind the scenes, it’s easy for many to overlook how critical they are to the American way of life. At Aim, however, drivers are anything but overlooked. They, along with our diesel mechanics, are front and center in all that we do.

Celebrating National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW) is one of many ways Aim shows appreciation for our drivers. For those unfamiliar, this weeklong event calls upon Americans to show their appreciation for the country’s 3.6 million professional truck drivers and the fundamental role they carry out with pride and humility.

Aim created its own Driver Appreciation Week logo to make this year's celebration extra special and unique to Aim's drivers.

While Aim doesn’t need a special reminder of how crucial our truck drivers are for us to be able to provide best-in-class dedicated fleet services through our Aim Integrated Logistics division, Aim never misses seizing NTDAW to give our professional drivers an extra helping of appreciation.

"At the heart of Aim Integrated Logistics’ success lies the dedicated, hardworking men and women who make up our elite driving force,” said David Gurska, COO and Executive Vice President, Aim Integrated Logistics. “Without them, our journey would come to a halt, reminding us that their role isn't just to transport cargo, but to carry the very essence of our company's mission forward, and it’s our honor to show our gratitude to them all year long, especially during Driver Appreciation Week."

Every Aim driver received a gift box containing a heavy-duty travel mug and spacious cooler bag emblazoned with Aim’s custom Driver Appreciation Week logo as well as a thank you card signed by Aim’s executive and leadership teams. This year’s Driver Appreciation Week theme was superheroes, underscoring how important they are to Aim and the nation.

Aim included a superhero theme to this year's Driver Appreciation Week celebration to emphasize how vital truck drivers are to the company and the American way of life.

Then from Sept. 11 – 15, a lineup of hosts from Aim’s leadership team stepped in front of the camera to share across social media their gratitude for Aim’s truck drivers and raffle off versatile and durable Blackstone Grills to Aim drivers.

The lucky drivers who took home a Blackstone Grill were:

• Joshua Fry
• Brian Davis
• Major Evans
• Edward Brown
• Timothy Fleishman
• Donald Detty
• Thomas Bonner
• James Hamilton
