This month sees the return of the annual National Truck Driver Appreciation Week – with various events around the country from February 22 to 28.

The team at NZ Truck & Driver is busy co-ordinating the week’s activities, alongside the Road Transport Forum and our association partners. 

It’s thanks to the RTF for its contribution and support for TDAW – along with a number of industry suppliers who have also already committed to supporting the event (there’s a full list on Page 12).

We are working towards events around the country where we’ll be handing out appreciation gift bags to as many drivers as possible. Check our Facebook page or our website – https://nztruckanddriver.co.nz/promotions/truck-driver-appreciation-week – for details.

As part of this year’s National Truck Driver Appreciation Week we have also made a significant investment in a nationwide media campaign aimed at achieving some appreciation in the wider community of what it is we do for all New Zealanders….every day – by delivering everything and anything they need. 

We ask that all operators do their bit during the week to look after their own drivers by making them feel appreciated.
