THANKING TRUCKERS * Canada - Remember to thank a trucker
Without their willingness to drive across this great nation of ours, our economy would fall apart...
Fergus,ON,Canada -The Fergus Elora News Express -Jul 29, 2008: -- This week, thousands of area residents flocked to the Centre Wellington Sportsplex to take in all things shiny at the Fergus Truck Show... It is, then, somewhat appropriate to reflect on the impact the trucking industry has on this province — and on this country — as a whole... Food, car parts, clothing — the list goes on and on... According to the Ontario Trucking Association, 90 per cent of all consumer products and food stuffs used and consumed in this province are distributed, at some point, by truck... Our entire economy hinges on our trucking industry, and its ability to get consumer goods to our stores on time... According to Statistics Canada, the trucking industry contributed approximately $14.2 billion to the economy in 2005... With all of this in mind, it’s probably a good idea for us to remind ourselves that truckers — good, hardworking folk with a love of the road — are behind a lot of the things in life we enjoy... The next time we see them on the road, let’s take the time to thank them... Without their willingness to drive across this great nation of ours, our economy would fall apart... It would be good for all of us to remember that...
