This week, from September 15 through the 21st, America celebrates National Truck Driver Appreciation Week—a moment to recognize the 3.5 million drivers who deliver the goods that keep our economy moving.
At Sugar Creek Transportation, we don’t need a holiday to appreciate our drivers. But we take this week seriously because our people are the reason we exist.
So here’s our message to the drivers who roll with us—and the ones who keep the country rolling, day after day.
Why Drivers Deserve More Than a Thank You
Think about it: if you’ve eaten today, ordered something online, or bought groceries, a truck driver made that possible. Trucking isn’t just a job—it’s a lifestyle of early mornings, long nights, and missed milestones so others don’t have to miss a thing.
And yet, drivers are often overlooked.
That’s why Sugar Creek Transportation was built to be different—a place where drivers are seen, respected, and rewarded for the critical role they play.
How We’re Celebrating Our Team
During National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we’re showing love to our drivers with:
- Driver Appreciation Kits at our Bloomington yard
- Shout-outs and features across social media
- Surprise giveaways and bonus perks for routes completed during the week
- Handwritten notes from dispatchers and leadership
Because gratitude should be felt—not just spoken.
Driver Voices: In Their Own Words
Here’s what some of our drivers have to say:
“Sugar Creek is the first company that actually listens. I’m not just hauling freight—I’m part of something real.”
— Mark, Owner-Operator
“They make sure I get home to my kids every week. That means everything.”
— Angela, Company Driver
