Driver Appreciation Week 2026 Recap
Wow, another great Truck Driver Appreciation Week in the books!
Last week, September 13-19th 2026, Tri-National celebrated alongside many others nationally to recognize truck drivers for their craft during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW). Our Tri-National drivers truly embody what our company stands for by putting safety, service, and satisfaction at the forefront of their daily tasks.
Every year we enjoy spotlighting our over 900 TNI drivers during Truck Driver Appreciation Week!
How TNi joined the #NTDAW26 fun
Gifting
We love spoiling our drivers with gifts every year, including an annual companywide gift. This year’s item was a high-quality lunch box cooler that each driver was gifted! Not only that, but each terminal location was stocked up on other company promotional goodies, including hats, T-shirts, towels, truck sun shades, umbrellas, & more for the drivers to enjoy!
TNi HQ kicked off each day with raffle prize winners announced through our Qualcomm systems! These randomly selected TNi drivers are gifted high-quality prizes provided by TNi and other extraordinary industry donors who were kind enough to support. A few items included were TVs, headphones, travel gear, gift cards & much more!
Keeping our Drivers Energized
What better way to celebrate than with food! Each year our TNi team comes together to provide quality catered lunches for each day of Driver Appreciation Week. Our Tri-National employees get to work, cooking and preparing meals for our drivers to enjoy, and we couldn’t be more thankful! Amazing food vendors supported this year’s Driver Appreciation Event as well, and we would like to shout them out:
Gratitude for TNi drivers
Thank you, drivers, for being the backbone of not only TNi but the United States’ supply chain. Our business is not able to flourish and support our customers without your hard work every day.
TNi’s reputation of being a cross-border specialist and providing exceptional door-to-door service across the Midwest and southeast corridor is something we are proud of. None of that is possible without our professional drivers, showing up every day for our customers. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed!
We are already counting down the days until next year’s Driver Appreciation Week!
TNI drivers: If you have not received your complimentary DAW gift, please contact your terminal manager, and they will get it sorted for you!
