Truck drivers, the unsung heroes
Truck drivers deliver the items we take for granted everyday, including food and medical supplies. They are the unsung heroes on the frontlines. As the world practices self-isolation to prevent the spread of COVID-19, take a moment to recognize the solitary nature of the truck driver’s daily life. Traveling long distances most often alone, to deliver the good we depend on.
UD Service support teams
Keeping trucks running and on the road is what our service support teams do. From mechanics in our service centers to road support personnel in case of a breakdown. Our service support teams support truck drivers on the front lines, while ensuring the safety of themselves and drivers. We are doubling efforts to keep facilities and equipment disinfected, wearing protective masks, and being extra careful to maintain a safe distance between colleague and customers alike.
