STATEWIDE, N.D. – Vision Zero, in partnership with the North Dakota Motor Carriers Association (NDMCA), is proud to join the nation in celebrating National Truck Driver Appreciation Week from Sept. 14–20, 2025. This annual observance is a time to recognize the dedication of the 3.5 million professional truck drivers who tirelessly work to keep America moving.

“Truck drivers are the backbone of our economy and our communities,” said NDMCA President Paul Gibree. “Their hard work, dedication and commitment to safety make a difference every single day across North Dakota.”

Recognized as the NDMCA Driver of the Year, Don Huckins of Marvin Windows and Doors emphasized the pride professional drivers take in serving their communities.

 “There’s a real pride in knowing that what we do matters. Whether it’s groceries, medicine, fuel – or in my case, the windows and doors that finish a home – we know our communities are counting on us and we take that responsibility seriously,” said Huckins.
