Miles of Gratitude: Sugaright Thanks our Truck Drivers

National Truck Driver Appreciation Week marks a special celebration of America’s Highway Heroes and pays tribute to all that professional truck drivers have done to keep our economy and communities moving forward.

Each year, more than 3.5 million American truckers drive over 330 billion miles. That is the equivalent of more than 13 million trips around the globe or nearly 1,800 round trips to the sun. Every one of those miles represents a stocked store shelf, a package placed on a household doorstep, equipment transported to a construction site, and of course liquid sugar delivered to our customers.

Truck drivers are not only the lifeblood of our economy, but an integral part of our daily lives as well. Countless American jobs depend on the hundreds of billions of miles that truckers drive. In addition, more than 80% of U.S. communities depend solely on trucking for the delivery of their goods and commodities.

We agree. At Sugaright, our truckers are critical to the success of our business and so our refineries offered a small token of appreciation in gratitude for being a critical part of our team.
