Truck drivers stopping by the truck scales on Route 13 got a little care package today.

The American Trucking Association and FedEx Ground held their annual appreciation for the nation's truck drivers this week.

Travis Boardman, a contractor for FedEx Ground, said they chose to honor the 3.4 million truck drivers because of all of their hard work.

Boardman said, "This is their week to get a pat on the back and say, 'Hey, we appreciate everything we're doing.'"

Truck drivers received small gifts, including alarm clocks, sunscreen and log books from the FedEx and the A.T.A.

Yeah , yeah , once a year ATA pats drivers on the back . The rest of the year they're putting a knife in their back . FedEx Ground has all contractors that courts said should be classified as employees . But FedEx Ground doesn't appreciate them enough to give them benefits UPS drivers get for doing the same job .
