National Truck Driver Appreciation Week: September 13-19, 2020 Sunday, September 13th marks the start of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2020 (NTDAW) and I am so proud of our team of drivers across the Odyssey organization. The heightened global awareness and appreciation of truck drivers is a highlight of 2020. From the moment the pandemic began, our drivers pivoted from their normal routines to help support emergency operations and have kept our customers, and the economy, moving. We will be featuring drivers from across our organization on our social channels throughout this week and on behalf of the entire Odyssey team, thank you to all our drivers and support teams for your focus on safety and your unwavering commitment to our customers. Thank you, Bob Shellman Chief Executive Officer Odyssey Logistics & Technology Corporation DRIVER SPOTLIGHTS: 9/13/20: Driver Spotlight: Larry Conroy Larry is an owner/operator in Indiana for ADS, a subsidiary of Odyssey Logistics, with 22 years of professional driving experience.
