To those that keep America running, we salute you.
A Big Thank You from The Team at Beacon Funding
In honor of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, September 12–18, all of us here at Beacon Funding would like to express our gratitude to every truck driver across the nation. These professional men and women are behind the wheel driving the American economy forward every day. Their significant impact and service can never be understated.
This industry forms the backbone of the American economy and tow truck drivers are the heart of it.
Did you know? According to Zippia, the tow truck driver workforce reached a whopping 31,154 in 2020! Among them, 5.5% are women, while 91.3% are men.
What is National Truck Driver Appreciation Week?
Established by the American Trucking Association in 1998, National Truck Driver Appreciation Week honors the 3.5 million professional drivers on America’s roadways for all their hard work and sacrifice.
Whether they are a tow truck operator or running a tow truck business, the job is not easy and can be dangerous at times. But that’s one of the reasons why National Truck Driver Appreciation Week was established. It’s a time to acknowledge all the men and women who have dedicated their lives to trucking or towing and all the work they do.
Did you know? Tow truck drivers record more than 112K miles a year, which is almost four times the length of the equator!
Did You Know Tow Trucks Are Considered Emergency Vehicles?
Tow truck drivers risk their lives daily — serving civilians stuck along roads and highways.
Their biggest threat is people driving too fast or not moving to the other lane when their tow truck is stopped on the side of the road. To support tow truck drivers and keep them safe, they need other drivers to be more aware of them on the road.
Did you know? Roadside service is a dangerous job and according to AAA, one tow truck driver is killed every six days!
According to Safety+ Health Magazine, drivers in the towing industry encounter an on-the-job fatality risk nearly 15 times greater than workers in other industries.
Tow truck operators are hit and often killed on the side of the road while just trying to do their job. Such accidents are because of drivers who fail to slow down to a safe speed and move over to another lane.
Next time you see a tow truck, remember you could save a life by simply slowing down and moving over.
In honor of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, all of us here at Beacon Funding would like to honor the bravery and dedication of truck drivers across the nation.
Each day, you not only work hard to help civilians on the roadside, but you also handle other challenges like managing busy schedules, getting used to changing industry regulations, and traversing heavy traffic. You withstand long hours on the road and prolonged time away from your family so everyone else can have the services they want and need. These sacrifices do not go unseen.
