Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) has teamed up with Flying J and Michelin to give truck drivers a free meal on Christmas Eve

Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) has teamed up with Flying J and Michelin to give truck drivers a free meal on Christmas Eve, giving those on the road during the holidays a reward for their work.

VTNA is offering a free turkey buffet dinner and beverage at any of 163 participating Flying J travel plazas in the U.S. and Canada between 5 and 7 p.m. on December 24 to anyone who shows their commercial driver’s license.

“Truck drivers deserve our thanks,” said Scott Kress, VTNA’s senior vp – sales & marketing. “They really are unsung heroes, and they are also our customers. So in this holiday season, with economic hardship affecting so many, Volvo Trucks wants to recognize truckers working on Christmas Eve. With our partners, Michelin and Flying J, we are giving away a hot turkey dinner to any driver on the job at a time when most of us are lucky enough to be with our families.”
