Kelly, Boozman Applaud Passage of Truck Driver Appreciation Resolution

Today, Senators Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and John Boozman (R-AR) celebrated the Senate passage of their resolution designating September 14-20, 2025, as National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, recognizing the contributions of America's professional truck drivers.

"Arizona's truck drivers are the reason our grocery shelves stay stocked, our hospitals get critical supplies, and our businesses reach their customers," said Kelly. "They put in long hours on the road, away from their families, to keep our economy moving. I'm proud to join Senator Boozman in recognizing the hard work and sacrifice of these men and women during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week."

"Truck drivers are the backbone of our economy and a source of pride for our state," said Boozman. "These men and women spend long hours away from their families to deliver the goods that keep our communities moving. Trucking touches most facets of modern life and I am proud to lead the Senate in showing professional truck drivers gratitude and respect."

"When every convenience and necessity is available on a store shelf or just a click away, it can be easy to overlook America's 3.6 million truck drivers who pull off this logistical feat day after day," said American Trucking Associations President & CEO Chris Spear. "Our reliance on truckers is absolute, and our appreciation for them should be as well. National Truck Driver Appreciation Week provides the opportunity for Americans to give them the gratitude they richly deserve. We applaud Senators Boozman and Kelly for leading the bipartisan effort to recognize the extraordinary hard work, dedication, and sacrifice of America's professional drivers."
