Transport America Treats Drivers to a Week Loaded with Fun


Transport America once again went all out to show their drivers how much they really value them during Driver Appreciation Week. A whole week of good food, good music, activities, and prizes sums up the annual event, which took place in August this year.

Monday kicked off with a concert from the trucking industry¹s most popular singing sensation, Joey Holiday. Holiday also performed for a crowd later in the week at the company¹s North Liberty Service Center.

Each day drawings were held for prizes. All drivers were eligible, and some were lucky enough to walk away with items such as a DVD player, Weber grill, gift certificates, cb¹s and more.
Many of the drivers were eager to show off their hot wheels in the Pride and Polish competition where the driver with the best looking truck won a set of passenger tires. Transport America also made sure drivers did not go hungry, with barbecues taking place each day of the week.

"Our drivers¹ dedication and hard work allows the company to grow and maintain its success," said Steve Sichterman, Director of Recruiting. "Driver Appreciation Week is an opportunity for us to give something back to the drivers and let them know we value all that they do for us."
Drivers also got the rare opportunity to dunk the Vice President of Operations at Transport America, Ron Kipp, into a tank. Dunk Tank Day was sponsored by Communications Development along with Great West at the company¹s Eagan, North Liberty, Atlanta, and North Jackson Service Centers.

In all, two thousand people showed up for Driver Appreciation Week which takes place each year. To learn more about how you can drive for a company who appreciates drivers, call 1-800-447-1211
