Happy Thanksgiving to all our customers, family, friends, vendors, office staff, and a BIG thanks to our truckers!
Like many great things, Thanksgiving wouldn’t be possible without trucking.
The United States is estimated to consume around 50 million turkeys each Thanksgiving and nearly $60 billion worth of goods are bought during this holiday.
80% of American households choose to have turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.
The holiday calls for 80 million lbs. of cranberries, 1.5 billion lbs. of pumpkins, and 2.4 billion lbs. of sweet potatoes.
All of this is transported by truck.
Many truck drivers are on the road delivering products on Thanksgiving (including our very own drivers), instead of being at home for dinner with friends and loved ones.
There are some restaurants along the way that provide rest and comfort food for all hard-working truck drivers.
Bob Evans nationwide, will be cooking up special homestyle meals all day long on Thanksgiving Day. Dine in, get delivery, or pick up curbside.
Cracker Barrel, nationwide, will offer turkey and dressing, sugar-cured ham, sweet potato casserole, biscuits, and pumpkin pie, starting at 11 a.m.
Iowa 80 Kitchen, Iowa, right off I-80 in Walcott, the world’s largest Truckstop offers a satisfying Thanksgiving home-cooked meal.
