In recognition of our industry’s best and most hard-working truck drivers, we distributed Truck Driver Survival Kits at the recent 2012 NASTC conference. Here’s what was inside:
- B/C Powder: To relieve the headaches of the job
- Band-Aid: To help you repair broken trucks
- Brown Paper Bag: So you won’t hyperventilate while getting your truck unloaded
- Eraser: To get rid of problems on the road
- Gum: To get you out of sticky situations
- Laffy Taffy: To remind you to keep your sense of humor in traffic
- Lifesaver: To keep you from drowning in everyday problems
- Marbles: To replace the ones you lose in this industry
- Matches: To remind you of Matchmaker Logistics
- Piece of String: To assist you when you’re at the end of your rope
- Rubber Band: To remind you to be flexible
- Sponge: To soak up the rain so you don’t have to drive in it
- Starburst: To give you that needed burst of energy on long hauls
- Tootsie Roll: To bring you luck while rollin’ down the highway!
It was a fun, humorous way of showing our appreciation and recognition for the service these incredible individuals provide to our industry, their employers, and the American Public!
