Thank you for keeping America on the road

The late nights and the early starts. The waits for the next load of cargo and the nightmare of urban traffic. The time away from home and family – holidays missed, children’s milestones not witnessed, birthday parties not celebrated together – it’s a sacrifice. Even in the midst of our current crisis, you press onward.

The demands are ever-increasing, and yet you persevere. We appreciate you.

You are the American truck driver.

As an organization that’s been On the Road Since 1965, we have the utmost honor and privilege to know and serve thousands of drivers, their businesses, and their families. While the truck is in the shop, we get a chance to know the drivers we serve. From a conversation at the coffee urn to a causal conversation in the drivers lounge, we understand that drivers are real people with real hopes, dreams, and concerns – just like us - especially now. As we practice social distancing, we feel your fears and share your hopes.

In a career where one is often away from their family, at Palmer, the driver is one of the family, even if it must be at a distance.

We take this responsibility and opportunity to build relationships seriously. From the guidance of our founder Eldon Palmer, we strive to work as hard as we can to provide the highest quality solutions and products to solve problems for the driver as a trusted partner, especially in times of emergency. Even in moments of uncertainty, together we stand.

This is a group effort, and we’re in it together.

Without the truck drivers of America, our economy would come to a screeching halt, crucial medical supplies would not be delivered and our people would go hungry. Although often overlooked, we recognize you, value you and salute you. Serving you is the privilege and honor that allows us to exist.

Although a storm brings uncertainty and darkness, the Palm tree perseveres towards a brighter tomorrow - stronger and more resilient than ever before. 

Thank you for your service. Together, we will emerge victorious.

Warmest Regards,

The Palmer Trucks Family
