Trucking and Thanksgiving

{"text":"America’s most loved holiday is upon us. Yes, it’s Thanksgiving! But why do we celebrate Thanksgiving and particularly on a Thursday?\n\nAmericans generally believe that Thanksgiving is modeled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people. This American holiday is particularly rich in legend and symbolism, and the traditional fare of the Thanksgiving meal typically includes turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie.\n\nIt was President Abraham Lincoln who proclaimed in 1863 that Thanksgiving would be held the last Thursday of November.\n\nThe following day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday where a lot of holiday shopping deals occur. It’s one of the most profitable days of the year for retailers and businesses.\n\n𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐒𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆\n\nThe United States is estimated to consume around 50 million turkeys each thanksgiving and nearly $60 billion worth in goods are bought during the “Black Friday weekend,” all of which are being transported by none other than trucks.\n\nYou can expect that truck drivers are having a hectic week already, transporting all the food and goods for grocery stores, food joints, shopping centers, and retail outlets.\n\nSo, this Thanksgiving, we’d like to give thanks to our hard working truckers out there. Because of you, we enjoy delicious Thanksgiving meals and have goodies to look forward to every Black Friday. If we bought it, truckers brought it.\n\nHappy Thanksgiving from Trucker Path!\n\nShare with us how you’re spending your Thanksgiving.
