As we celebrate National Trucking Week, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each member of The Erb Group. This week is about you—our drivers, mechanics, dispatchers, warehouse teams, operations, support staff, and everyone who plays a part in making our operation successful.
I’ve always believed that the strength of our company lies in its people. The work you do every day goes far beyond just delivering goods. You’re delivering reliability, care, and trust to communities across North America. When I think about the impact we have—bringing food to families’ tables, helping businesses thrive, and ensuring that essential goods reach those who need them most—I’m constantly reminded of your dedication, which makes it all possible.
National Trucking Week is an opportunity to reflect on the immense value each of you brings to The Erb Group. But let’s be honest—your hard work and commitment are felt every single day of the year. Whether navigating challenging weather conditions, ensuring every vehicle is road-ready, or coordinating complex logistics, you’re doing it with a level of professionalism and heart that sets our company apart.
I’m continually inspired by the stories I hear from the road—stories of drivers going above and beyond to make a delivery on time, of teams working late into the night to solve a problem, and of individuals stepping up to support one another. These stories are a testament to The Erb Group’s spirit and the incredible people who make up our team. The work we do isn’t easy. It’s demanding, it’s complex, and it requires a tremendous amount of dedication. But you all rise to the challenge with unwavering commitment. You understand that what we do matters, that it has a direct impact on people’s lives, and that it’s about more than just moving goods from point A to point B.
This week, as we celebrate National Trucking Week, I want you to know how much I appreciate every mile you drive, every load you secure, every route you plan, every piece of equipment you maintain and each partnership you nurture. Your efforts ensure that our operations run smoothly and that we can continue to fulfill our mission of bringing food to families’ tables across North America. But more than that, your efforts bring us closer as a team and community. We’re not just a company; we’re a group of people who care about each other, who support each other, and who are committed to a shared purpose. That’s something truly special, and it’s something I’m incredibly proud to be a part of.
So, thank you. Thank you for your hard work, for your resilience, and for your commitment to excellence. Thank you for making The Erb Group the company it is today—a leader in the industry, a trusted partner to our clients, and a positive force in the communities we serve.
Here’s to National Trucking Week, and to celebrating the remarkable contributions you make every day. I’m honoured to work alongside such a dedicated and talented team, and I look forward to all we’ll continue to achieve together.
