Why is National Truck Driver Appreciation Week a holiday to embrace?
By turning National Truck Driver Appreciation Week into the event it should be, you’re sure to:
- Bring their background role to the forefront: When shoppers reach for goods at the grocery store, the driver who hauled them there doesn’t come to mind. Now’s your company’s chance to highlight their crucial contributions to your business and beyond.
- Acknowledge the grind: Celebrate this week with a personal note that nods to the long hours away from home and physical labor your drivers take on every day on the job.
- Boost morale: Most truck drivers work solo and spend almost 100 percent of their work days on the road, and this holiday is a feel-good initiative that lets them know they’re seen and appreciated.
How much should you spend on National Truck Driver Appreciation Week gifts for your employees?
According to Giftogram’s customer insight data, National Truck Driver Appreciation Week gifts for employees fall between $100 and $500 with the average value being $70.
When deciding how much to spend on National Truck Driver Appreciation Week gifts, consider the following:
- Extra costs: Don’t let shipping fees or markups get in the way of the perfect gift. To maximize your per-person spend, consider a digital gift card that ensures every dollar you spend goes to your recipients.
- Gifts that will feel meaningful: Truck drivers don't get a pat on the back at the office or emoji-filled accolades on the company Slack, so make your gift personal where you can. Consider a gift that reflects their likes or interests and include a custom message to go along with it.
- Distributing your gift: When choosing your gift, keep in mind that your employees are, quite literally, on the road. Rather than sending a physical gift to their doorstep (and hoping it doesn’t get lost, stolen, or damaged), you can send a digital gift card via SMS or email in seconds.
