Truckers: California's Backbone
Sunday, October 31, 2010
At morning, noon and night, truck drivers of the Golden State log countless miles while keeping California moving in a sometimes lonely and thankless job.
It's time to thank the brave men and women who handle their big rigs in every weather condition, on every California roadway, in the safest and most efficient manner.
In such a dangerous occupation as truck driving, it's comforting to know that truckers are a loyal breed who watch out for, and care for, their own. Other truckers have your back, so you're never really alone, though the job can seem a little lonely at times.
It's scary to think about a society without truckers. There's so much that wouldn't be available to consumers and companies. California's economy would come to a standstill. Seriously.
Since 1934, the California Trucking Association has represented the interests of California truck drivers through:
- legislative representation
- regulatory representation
- advocacy
- training
- education
- buying programs
- public relations
- image enhancement
- trade shows
- expositions
- workshops
- networking
- leadership development
