2024 was a really good year for trucking’s charitable deeds. Going into 2025, I wasn’t sure if the industry could top itself, but I was wrong. In 2025, trucking donated more, supported more charities, and honored more of those in and out of the industry. When disaster struck in parts of the U.S., trucking went above and beyond to help those affected.
It was almost impossible to narrow it down, but here are the top Five Good Things blogs of 2025.
