For most of us, today is a time to gather with loved ones and share a robust meal, giving thanks for the blessings we’ve received in the first 11-plus months of the year.
Earlier this week, Hard Working Trucks reached out to our readers and asked them to share some of what they were thankful for and we’re pleased to share some of those with you.
“I’m thankful for the dedication of our drivers and most importantly for their families,” says Jennie Valenzuela, Human Resources Manager for Stage Coach Cartage. “The support, encouragement, and patience their families demonstrate on a daily basis is admirable. God Bless them and keep them safe.”
“I am thankful for hardworking, dedicated employees. Truck dealership employees are faced with many frustrations in our current market place. Trucks today are more difficult to diagnose, looking up parts has become tedious…..figuring out electronic engine and EGR issues tedious. Yet the professionals in this industry overcome all of this in an effort to keep their customers up and running,” he says. “I am especially thankful for those diesel techs, especially the ones willing to go out on the road and perform truck repairs under less than desirable conditions in the middle of the night. They literally put themselves in danger to get under a truck on the side of a highway in rain, sleet and snow to help fleets keep goods moving.”
Tom Brown, CEO of Surplus Solutions, was grateful for all the partnerships he and his company have forged this year.
“Without all of you working tirelessly, we would not be where we are today at Surplus-Solutions,” he says. “Whether you worked on the concept as a sounding board, the web site, or assisted in adding customers, know that (we) are grateful for you hard work. Thanks to all of our suppliers, you have also made an impact on our sites success.”
Mike Barr, Southwest Territory Manager for Cummins, says he’s grateful to be a small part of trucking’s big picture.
“Thankful to wake up everyday and know that in some small way, I help this industry move forward,” he says.
