CDLLife App: Truckers Pay Homage to Veterans

This week on the CDLLife App, the community came together with powerful messages of respect for the men and women who served. Drivers filled the feed with gratitude, reflection, and pride as Veterans Day rolled in, turning the app into a rolling tribute that stretched from coast to coast.

One driver opened the week with a simple message that carried real weight: a salute to every veteran in her life and everyone who ever put on the uniform. The post drew support from across the community, showing how deeply connected trucking is to military service.

Another driver shared his own moment of pride, wishing a heartfelt “Happy Veterans Day” to his fellow veterans. It was a reminder of how many drivers behind the wheel once stood in formation before they ever stepped into a cab.

A longer reflection came from a driver who looked back on the armistice of 1918, marking the end of World War I. The words struck a nerve with readers who know the cost of sacrifice in their own families.

It wouldn’t be CDLLife without Trucker Trivia — and this week’s edition focused on the Veterans in Trucking who keep this country running. Ever wondered which branch of the US military become truckers? Hop into our Trivia game each Tuesday to play!

And at the SSWL Truck Show this past weekend, Fritz and Kim Longfield stood out in a big way. The duo earned the Patriot Award for a rig that paid tribute to POWs and those still missing.

To all the veterans across the CDLLife community, thank you. Your strength echoes through this industry, and this week made that clearer than ever. Jump into the CDLLife App and stay connected with the drivers who keep these stories and voices alive.
