?? Thanksgiving is Here, and Truckers Make It Possible! ?? As we gather around the table to celebrate gratitude, let’s take a moment to honor the amazing logistics behind this holiday. Without truckers, Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be the same. Did you know: ?? 50% of all whole bird turkeys sold in the U.S. are consumed on Thanksgiving Day! ??? The creation of TV dinners in 1953 happened because of a 260-ton frozen turkey mistake, sparking the $1.2 billion frozen dinner industry. ??? 186.4 million shoppers participated in Black Friday in 2020, with trucks delivering those deals! ?? 40% of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup sales happen during Thanksgiving season. ?? 80 million pounds of cranberries are purchased at Thanksgiving to sweeten up the feast. To all the hardworking truck drivers spending time on the road instead of at home, we thank you for making our holiday traditions possible. ?? Tell us, what are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Share in the comments! From all of us at the Arizona Trucking Association, Happy Thanksgiving! ????
关于我们
THE ARIZONA TRUCKING ASSOCIATION AND THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY HAVE A LONG AND RICH HISTORY IN ARIZONA. From the early 20th century, trucks were the primary mode for hauling copper from Arizona mines to processing and manufacturing plants, raw cotton to gins and mills, cattle to railheads and local markets, and citrus to packing and distribution centers. Today's modern trucking industry operates in every aspect of economic life, delivering textbooks, medical supplies, retail goods and the building blocks of highways and energy production for the state's growing population. In Arizona, trucking is everybody's business! The Arizona Motor Transport Association (AMTA), as ATA was originally called, was incorporated on September 9, 1937 as a non-profit trade organization. AMTA officially changed its name to Arizona Trucking Association (ATA) in early 2004. This year 2012 we celebrate our 75th. Anniversary. The association's membership more than doubled from 2002 to 2008, leading to expanded programs and services along with completion of a new headquarters facility at 75th Avenue and Madison Street in Tolleson. Our state-of-the-art building features an expanded Vehicle Registration Office and waiting area; fully equipped double classroom and catering kitchen; parking for more than 50 cars; and other amenities.

A good read about "The Electric Vehicle Transition That Isn’t - Wall Street Journal " "Auto makers’ problem is that California and the Biden Administration are forcing them to make increasing numbers of EVs that are piling up on dealer lots. Companies are slashing prices to sell them, resulting in hefty losses. Meantime, Americans are balking at paying more for gas-powered cars, making it harder for the car makers to use those profits to subsidize EVs. " https://lnkd.in/gMS6RRaW
