Most people want to be shown appreciation for their hard work. An unsolicited “thank you” can go a long way. Truck drivers have heard plenty of “thank yous” since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March. As inventory at grocery stores and hospitals dwindled, people began to grasp the importance of having men and women who are willing to travel across the country delivering freight. In April, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee orchestrated a “tweetstorm” to recognize truck drivers and others who are keeping America’s economy moving during the coronavirus pandemic. Using #ToThoseWhoKeepUsMoving, lawmakers used social media to thank truckers for their efforts during the crisis.
