September 13th – 19th is National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.

While we support and appreciation every truck driver, at Osborn Trucking, we are especially proud to recognize the drivers who represent our team. From Green Bay, Wisconsin down to Owensboro, Kentucky or across the country to Boston, Massachusetts, our drivers repeatedly show their commitment to safety and superior service. 

Because of you, our drivers, Osborn can do what we do and continue to provide top-tier service wherever the road takes us. Below are just a handful of reasons as to why we are proud to call you our drivers, but our appreciation goes far beyond this list. 

National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is set aside to recognize the work you do, but our appreciation for you extends beyond this one week. Because of you, we have a million and one reasons to keep saying thank you throughout the year.

Because of You… 

  1. Commitment Goes the Distance 

Despite the early mornings and long days, you keep going out on the road. You keep freight moving, take on the challenges that come with the job, and are fully committed through every step of the process. 

  1. Safety Comes First with Every Mile 

Operating a semi requires constant awareness of the road and your surroundings. For every trip, you complete a pre- and post-trip inspection to make sure your vehicle is in top operating order. Osborn drivers make safety their number one priority through every mile of the journey.

  1. Professionalism Sets the Standard 

There is a difference between being a driver and being a professional driver. Professional drivers take the responsibility seriously. You follow the rules of the road, set a positive example, and show respect to other people. Osborn drivers know that driving a semi is a big responsibility and rise to it every day. 

  1. Changing Roads and Conditions are Handled with Skill and Patience 

Roads are different in every area a truck driver must go through. You navigate through construction and prepare for weather conditions that can change at the drop of a hat. Whatever the road brings, you navigate those changes with skill and patience. 

  1. Every Mile Reflects the Pride You Take in Your Work 

At Osborn & Son Trucking, we take pride in our drivers because we know you take pride in your work. That pride shows in the way you carry yourself, care for your equipment, represent Osborn on the road, and approach the job each day. 

  1. The Next Generation has Professionals to Look Up to 

For many generations of truck drivers to come, they will be able to look toward our drivers as their role models. Your dedication, commitment to safety, and work ethic set a shining standard for future drivers to follow. 

To all truck drivers, and especially our drivers at Osborn Trucking, thank you. Because of you, our industry is represented with professionalism and pride, and the roads are better because you are on them.
