Celebrate Van Operator Appreciation Week 2024

National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is September 15-21. 

As you go about your daily routine, you may not think about the vital role you play in helping customers make the journey to their new homes safely, smoothly and worry-free. You work tirelessly to transport our customers’ belongings across the country, spending long hours on the road and often sacrificing time with your families and loved ones.  

We want you to know how big a difference you make every day. And during Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we’re not just saying thank you, we’re celebrating you. 

If your plans take you into the St Louis area, we hope you’ll stop by the home office to say hello. We’ll have goodies bags, gifts and prizes generously donated by members of our cooperative agent network especially for you. If your travels take you elsewhere, many of you will get a call from someone at the home office just to say thanks. For more information about the week’s activities, visit the Mayflower Facebook Page.   

Are you one of our customers? Post a message of thanks on Mayflower’s Facebook using the hashtag #ThankAMayflowerVanOperator.
