    So how is companies' office staff, mechanics, and dispatchers enjoying all the food and goodies cooperate buys for drivers this week which they don't get to enjoy because they're on the road working.

    Must be a good week for the rest of the above, free lunch on your break, even get to take the leftovers home with you at night to give to your family .

    It’s not that dairy farmers are not appreciated.. I just think that a majority of people think that dairy products come from the store

    We have a company picnic every Labor Day. No booze but all the food anybody can handle.
    The mechanics get pizza from the drivers sometimes. The office staff makes do with day-old donuts that they have to buy themselves.

    I think the most UNappreciated job would be the guy that goes around cleaning the portable johns.

    Trucks were appreciated at the port today. They were handing out a bag of potato chips, a toy semi, and a sugar free can of coke to every truck that rolled through. So i guess those with bypass missed out.

    I"m pretty sure though the appreciation at the scale would be the fines they collect.

    My boss is showing his appreciation by replacing my windshield in the morning. lol
