Wreaths Across America is one of the trucking industry’s largest charitable events. While the official Wreaths Across America Day falls on December 13 this year, industry efforts span several weeks.
One significant event for participants is the weekend just before the big day: the beginning of the Escort to Arlington National Cemetery.
Dean Croke will be attending the Escort to Arlington with RadioNemo. Croke is a senior analyst for DAT Freight & Analytics, but he’s also a longtime truck driver with an industry social media presence. In this chat, Croke talks about his plans for this year’s Wreaths Across America, his own connection to honoring service members, and some of the reasons why many truck drivers are so passionate about the event.
