You heard it! Truckers have their own appreciation week. I stand fullheartedly for it. The wives and the families are the forgotten ones. They deserve appreciation too. They put countless hours worrying if they stay at home. The ones in the truck put countless hours into the daily grind. The parents, children, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, grandparents, wives, cousins, etc, need a week also. After all, we all know it isn't easy dealing with this industry day in and day out. Many relatives of drivers sit, waiting for that phone call, email, tweet, and facebook post daily; worried that it may not come.

Brenny Transportation, Inc., Brenny Specialized, Inc., and the crew here at Trucker's Voice are very proud to announce that the week of February 19th – 25th, 2012, will be recognized as the appreciation week for families of over the road truck drivers.

Families of over the road truck drivers make a sacrifice bigger than they get credit! We would like to make a special point and designate your very own week in February as the week we give thanks to the families who support the trucking industry.

We thank the spouse at home who pays the bills and takes care of the children. We are grateful for the family members who show appreciation to their OTR trucker for not only supporting his/her family, but also for your knowledge of the sacrifice they make for our country.

Thank you to the children of truckers who pray for mom or dad while they are away from home. We know you are proud of the occupation that your parent has chosen.

Above all, Brenny we want to say thank you to the families of over the road truck drivers. We want to personally say you count, you matter, and we appreciate your sacrifice! Keep smiling and keep on trucking! You are truly the behind the scenes truckers that our country needs to help the wheels keep rolling.

So, drivers and companies are all encouraged to ensure this is a growing event. Your families, and your wives all deserve the appreciation and consideration!
