Celebrating the Heart of the Highway

Truck driving is more than a job — it’s a way of life.  It’s a world where nods at a truck stop or a wave from a passing big rig prove you’re part of something bigger: a community of people who work hard to keep life moving forward. You, truck drivers, are the heart of the highway.

 

 

Thank You For All That You Do

You carry more than cargo. Truck drivers keep shelves stocked, communities connected and businesses thriving. At Caterpillar, we know those miles aren't always easy. They’re filled with long nights, tough conditions and sacrifices most people never see. For that, we say thank you.

Our Commitment To You

"We take our job seriously and understand your livelihood depends on keeping your truck on the road. Every mile of the journey for a trucker helps him or her create revenue for themselves, their family, and in some cases, their extended family. This is why we take tremendous pride in offering our operators great efficiency, longevity and support."

— Billy Frank, VP, Caterpillar Remanufacturing Division
