#ThankYouTrucker is back!

The search is on to find South Africa’s favourite trucker in #ThankYouTrucker 2022!

#ThankYouTrucker 2021 was an incredible success and saw a wealth of inspiring entries about our country’s esteemed drivers received. This success motivated Iveco South Africa to once again partner with the Road Freight Association (RFA) to find South Africa’s favourite trucker in #ThankYouTrucker 2022!

#ThankYouTrucker is an initiative aimed at shining the spotlight on these unsung road freight industry heroes of our country. Iveco is encouraging freight company owners and fleet managers/operators to show their gratitude for hard-working and outstanding drivers in their companies by nominating them for #ThankYouTrucker. Once the entries are in, South Africa will vote for their favourite trucker and award them an amazing life-changing cash prize!

Throughout the many hardships this country has faced, our dedicated truckers have persevered, ensuring that the road freight industry – so vital to South Africa’s transport of goods – has continued to serve the people.

“Trucking is the backbone of domestic supply chains and without trucks, our economy stops,” says Martin Liebenberg, managing director of Iveco SA. “Despite the war in Ukraine, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, unrest, natural and national disasters, massive fuel price hikes, and sporadic supply chain disruptions, our truck drivers continue to deliver what we need every day and go the extra mile. Through the #ThankYouTrucker campaign, Iveco SA and the RFA want to honour and celebrate the great work and efforts of our nation’s most exceptional drivers.”

These drivers are the people who often go above and beyond the call of duty, sacrificing their time and effort to ensure the job gets done to the best of their abilities. They are passionate about their work; caring, trustworthy, dependable individuals who are always willing to lend a helping hand. They also motivate their colleagues to be and do their best.

#ThankYouTrucker 2021 saw some incredibly inspiring entries about drivers who always go the extra mile and whose dedication and hard work are unmatched.
