Every day, millions of professional truck drivers keep our country moving. From delivering fresh food to stocking hospital supplies and ensuring businesses get the products they need, truck drivers are the backbone of our economy. This September 14 to 20, 2025, we celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW), a dedicated time to recognize the incredible contributions of the men and women behind the wheel.
At WattEV, we know that drivers are not just moving freight, they are moving the future. As we transition to cleaner, more sustainable electric trucking, our appreciation for the hard work and dedication of truck drivers grows even deeper.
Why This Week Matters
Truck drivers are the lifeline of America’s supply chains. While their work is critical, it often goes unnoticed. National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is a moment to pause, recognize, and show gratitude for the people behind the wheel. Every delivery ensures that businesses stay stocked, families receive what they need, and the economy keeps moving forward.
At WattEV, we also see NTDAW as a chance to highlight the changing face of trucking. Electric trucks are reshaping the industry, and drivers are at the forefront, learning new technology, embracing sustainable practices, and proving that green logistics can work without compromising efficiency.
How to Celebrate Drivers
Celebrating drivers does not need to be complicated. A kind word, a social media shoutout, or simply taking a moment to thank a trucker can make a big impact. Communities can host local events, restaurants can offer driver-friendly meals, and companies can create opportunities for drivers to relax and feel appreciated. Highlighting a driver’s story online reminds the public of the human effort behind every shipment.
From the Road: Stories from WattEV Drivers
At WattEV, we know the best way to honor drivers is to let them speak for themselves. During NTDAW 2025, we will be sharing interviews with our team, giving them a platform to talk about life on the road, their experiences with electric trucks, and what appreciation truly means to them. These stories highlight the challenges of the profession as well as the pride, innovation, and resilience drivers bring every day.
Looking Ahead
National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is more than a celebration. It is a reminder that the people who keep freight moving are essential to our daily lives and to the future of transportation. Whether through a simple thank you, participating in community events, or supporting sustainable trucking initiatives, we can all play a part in showing our gratitude.
At WattEV, we are proud to honor our drivers, not just during NTDAW, but all year long. As electric trucks become more common, the dedication and innovation of drivers will continue to shape the road ahead.
