The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), the country's national trucking group, in conjunction with the provincial trucking associations, is pleased to announce National Trucking Week 2010 will take place from September 5 - 12, 2010.

The purpose of the weeklong celebration is to recognize the important contributions made by the 400,000 Canadian men and women who keep the country's freight moving.

Provincial trucking associations, carriers, industry suppliers and other stakeholders are encouraged to undertake activities in their own province to mark the event. In previous years, provincial associations have marked the occasion with newspaper supplements, radio advertising, contests, special promotions, and special events at truck stops and roadside inspection stations.

Carriers and industry suppliers have hosted BBQs, breakfasts, truck washes, offered special giveaways to employees and marked the week event with a wide variety of activities.

Should you require more information, a list if celebration ideas, and details about obtaining the official event logo, contact CTA's Deanna Pagnan in Toronto at (416) 249-7401 or deanna.pagnan@cantruck.ca
