Remarks by President Trump Celebrating
America’s Truckers
APRIL 16, 2020
THE PRESIDENT:
That’s beautiful stuff.
They are beautiful,
beautiful trucks. That’s
the real deal. You
wouldn’t switch jobs
with anybody, would
you? Huh?
THE PRESIDENT: You wouldn’t I
know the truckers. They wouldn’t
switch with anybody. It’s what they
love, right? That’s why they’re good
at it. These are the best too.
Well, thank you all for being here as
we celebrate some of the heroes of
our nation’s great struggle against the
coronavirus: our brave, bold, and
incredible truckers. And look at that
equipment they’re the best made and
great companies also, and companies
that have really helped us a lot. We
appreciate that.
At a time of widespread shutdowns,
truck drivers form the lifeblood of our
economy — and the absolute
lifeblood. For days, and sometimes
weeks on end, truck drivers leave
their homes and deliver supplies that
American families need and count on
during this national crisis and at all
other times. They’re always
there. Their routes connect every
farm, hospital, manufacturer,
business, and community in the
country.
In the war against the virus, American
truckers are the foot soldiers who are
really carrying us to victory. And
they are. They’ve done an incredible
job. We’ve had no problems. It’s
been just it’s been just great, and we
want to thank you very much. It’s
really great. We have a little special a
little special award too.
To every trucker listening over the
radio or behind the wheel, I know I
speak for the 330 million-plus
Americans that we say: Thank God
for truckers. That’ll be our theme:
Thank God for truckers.
On this special occasion, when we
honor the truck drivers of America,
I’m grateful to be joined by Secretary
of Transportation Elaine Chao, who’s
doing a fantastic job, and the CEO of
the American Trucking Association,
Chris Spear.
