The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) is celebrating bobtail and transport drivers during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, which takes place Sept. 14-20.

“Drivers represent the heart of the propane industry,” says Bridget Kidd, COO at PERC. “Their daily commitment to service, delivery and safety ensures that families and businesses can rely on propane to provide energy security to their communities. We’re thrilled to celebrate their contributions and share their stories.”

To recognize these professionals, PERC invited propane companies across the country to nominate their drivers and share stories of their dedication. PERC is releasing a toolkit through its resource catalog, featuring social media templates and graphics so anyone can easily participate in recognizing their employees for exemplary delivery and service.
