ELYRIA, Ohio – Bendix is pleased to offer a special salute to maintenance pros during National Technician Appreciation Week.
“Think about it: The ability of every delivery truck to drop off goods in our neighborhoods, every vocational vehicle to move materials in and around jobsites, and every big rig to spirit loads across the country traces back to the professional technicians who help keep these and all other trucks rolling,” said Fred Andersky, Bendix director – government and industry affairs. “We all owe these pros a debt of gratitude, and National Technician Appreciation Week is one opportunity to thank them.”
Sponsored by the American Trucking Associations (ATA), the second annual National Technician Appreciation Week takes place Sept. 19-24. The week is a conjoined effort with ATA’s Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) and held directly following TMC’s 2021 Fall Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition, which took place Sept. 12-16 in Cleveland.

Its purpose is to provide an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and commitment of professional technicians, while also helping to attract prospective talent to one of the most in-demand careers in the trucking industry.

These men and women have our country’s back, and we have theirs.”
