Last April, the White House hosted representatives of the trucking industry to recognize their contributions at a time when the pandemic already had afflicted segments of the economy. American Trucking Associations President Chris Spear was at that event alongside truck drivers, former President Donald Trump and former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. A FedEx Ground truck, as well as the ATA image truck Interstate One were used as backdrop.
“American truckers are the foot soldiers who are really carrying us to victory,” Trump told attendees.
“You’re America’s heroes,” noted Chao.
