    Watching the fox NFL pregame show and saw a couple of commercials from WM thanking their drivers w a Chris Stapleton song (Traveler) playing in the background.
    Nice touch for the kickoff of the week

    Pride Transport has continental breakfast and a different food truck for lunch everyday.
    The give us a nice swag bag full of goodies. It's nice to work for companies that acknowledge their drivers.
    What do other companies do?
    I'm curious to know.
     
    Dennixx Thanks this.

    Tons of free food all week that the outside carriers will be stuffing their faces, and trashing the place with.

    Had one literally "shat" himself and left racing stripe in his britches. o_O

    Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Because, as we all should know, "without dispatch you drivers wouldn't know what to do." Yes, a dispatcher actually said that. SMDH. But, yeah, nothing.

    I didn’t even know it was driver appreciation week until i got an email from my last employer about crap they were giving away. Yes for some reason I am still on their mailing list. The knuckleheads even “invited” me to their company picnic this year lol.

    Not a word from my current employer though, but honestly I would rather have nothing than cheap givaways and Loves gift cards and hot dogs and the like.
