This week we have been showcasing, celebrating, and thanking the hard working men and women of the trucking industry. This week it was National Trucking Week in Canada and the week of the 13th it will be the same south of the border. Truck drivers have stepped up to help Special Needs Athletes and at the truck shows the community is constantly showing the pride in the industry. Thank you to all the trucking community for keeping shelves stocked in our stores and helping others have successful lives. Dive more into how trucking helps through episodes on The Lead Pedal Podcast.

Truck Ride 2026 didn’t just hit the pavement this year—it made history by raising a record-breaking $154,000 for Special Olympics athletes!
In our latest episode, we recap the energy on the road, highlight the dedication of the drivers and organizers, and explore how these funds directly support athlete training, gear, and competitions throughout the year.
Truck drivers don’t just move the country’s freight—they step up when their communities need them most.
On this episode of The Lead Pedal Podcast, we trace the incredible history of the Truck Ride for Special Olympics. From small grassroots runs to massive convoys raising record-breaking totals, discover how drivers, owner-operators, and industry partners have spent years fueling the dreams of Special Olympics athletes.
Everything we rely on arrives by truck—and behind every load is a dedicated professional working long hours to get the job done right.
For Canadian Trucking Appreciation Week, the latest episode of The Lead Pedal Podcast shines a well-deserved spotlight on the drivers behind the wheel. We talk directly with professional operators across the industry about life on the highway, modern industry challenges, and the pride that keeps their wheels rolling.
Tune in to join us in thanking the men and women who keep our shelves stocked and our economy moving!
Thank a truck driver or someone in the trucking community for all they do. If it wasn’t;t for them you wouldn’t have anything on your table.
