altThis week is when we take the time to honour all professional truck drivers for their hard work and commitment in tackling one of the New Zealand economy’s most demanding and important jobs.

“These 23,500 professional men and women not only deliver our goods safely, securely and on time, they also keep our highways safe, says the National Road Carriers Inc.
