Happy Thanksgiving!

“We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.” ―John F. Kennedy

Turkey Day is one of the more cherished holidays for families, because it’s the one day everyone gathers around the table to spend quality time together, count their blessings, and eat a delicious meal. Thanksgiving is a time to give, a time to love, and a time to reflect on the things that matter most in life. TruckDues.com wishes every truckers, users and partners, families and team a Happy Thanksgiving! 

Today March 8 and wish every Women in Trucking a Happy Women’s Day

We, TruckDues.com wish every women in trucking a Happy Women’s Day. 

The numbers of women’s in trucking increasing gradually. With women accounting for approximately 6% of the driving fleet in the U.S. – most recent numbers in Canada indicated only 3% of drivers are female, many around the world are encouraged by the rise in U.S. numbers, still it is a long way to go.

According to the recent numbers released on the country’s ongoing truck driver shortage is now in the range of 30,000 to 35,000 on the basis of 750,000 trucks. If current trends continue, the shortage may exploded to as many as 245,000 by 2022.

It is the time for us to empower the women in trucking and encourage then to take up carrier opportunities in trucking. It is such a special industry to be in, Yes, women can drive, and we love our women drivers, but there are just so many facets to this industry. In the office alone there is dispatching, billing, safety, women can be mechanics, and then you can step to the other side of it and work the docks, work in the shipping/receiving department, and then you can look at fuel stops, working the desk, etc. There is honestly something for everyone in this field.

A woman performs all the duties of a man but a man cannot do all that a woman can do. A woman in any form shall be celebrated and honored, be it, a sister or a wife or a mother or any other form. Women are the mammoth reservoir of power and talent which has yet not been tapped. Empower woman, empower the human community. The base on which the world stands is a women. There is only one thing in the Universe which a woman still needs to learn and that one thing is that, ‘she has the power to turn the direction of the wind on her own’

Wishing every women all success and great year ahead.

Let’s Be Thankful for Truck Drivers on Thanksgiving

Wow… the holiday season is at the corner with Thanksgiving this Thursday and following with Black Friday… it would be a long weekend and holiday season kick starts with this…

Let’s Be Thankful for Truck Drivers on Thanksgiving, they are the one who makes Thanksgiving possible in all ways. They spend time away from their families so we can spend time with ours. They deal with heavy holiday traffic, too. Truck drivers rarely get those home-cooked meals while on the road. Turkeys don’t just “fly” to our tables. Truck Drivers Make the Parade Possible. They pave the way for Black Friday. And who do we have to thank? We have truck drivers to thank! These are the folks who transport all the goodies cross country so that we can step out to the store and easily access everything we need.

So we here at @TruckDues want to wish all you drivers, owner-operators, fleet managers, mechanics, and everyone else who makes it possible for everyone of to have my cranberry sauce (and turkey and sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie) a great Thanksgiving. This year while we’re reciting what we are thankful for with our dinner guests, let’s not forget the people who truly make it all possible. And for all those truck drivers out there reading this, just know that you truly are appreciated.

Post your Thanksgiving celebrations in our @TruckDues FB page and spread the happiness. #HappyThanksgiving #ThankYouTruckers
