Waynesburg, PA… National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is still months away – the dates for 2025 are September 14-20, but Sheetz and the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association (PMTA) couldn’t wait to show their appreciation.  The two companies partnered to host two early Truck Driver Appreciation Events.

Sheetz and PMTA realize the importance of Professional Truck Drivers, the dedicated men and women who keep America Moving. The first Appreciation event was held on April 3rd at the Sheetz in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania (398 E Roy Furman Hwy., I-79 Exit 14).  David McCord, Director of Member Engagement set up a table near the Diesel Islands (high winds kept him from putting up the hospitality tent).  Sheetz generously donated trucker hats, travel toothbrushes, air fresheners, and MTO cards that can be redeemed for free food. Drivers also had the opportunity to win a Sheetz gift card. PMTA also had items to giveaway.

Movin’ Out’s Dan Pollock, National Account Manager and Pam Pollock, Editor drove down to cover the event. We enjoyed meeting and talking to drivers.

The next event was planned for April 23rd from 10:00 am-2:00 pm (Movin’ Out had gone to press before this Driver Appreciation Day but we plan to also cover this event) at the Sheetz in Barkeyville, PA, ) 5775 State Route 8, Harrisville, PA I-80 Exit 29).  Once again, PMTA will be on hand with Sheetz and PMTA giveaways and gift card drawings.

Our sincere  thanks and gratitude to ALL Professional Truck Drivers – you are truly appreciated each and every day!
