Texas Heart.

The American Trucking Associations launched it in 1988 and sets the dates each year. ATA has it running September 13–19 in 2026. Practically: get us your roster in August. Every fleet in the country wants theirs the same week, and we would rather build yours early than rush it.

Shelf stable only, no refrigeration, and nothing that turns to soup in a cab sitting in a Texas July, so no chocolate coatings in a summer build. We pack it glass free on request and keep the footprint small enough to stow in a bunk or a side box. Jerky, nuts, hard candy, snack mixes, coffee, sauces in squeeze bottles, and a keepsake sturdy enough to rattle down a road without coming apart.

Two ways, and you can mix them. We ship one consolidated drop to the terminal or dispatch office with every gift wrapped and labeled by name, so drivers pick theirs up whenever they roll through. Or you send us the roster and we ship a separate tracked box to each driver's home address, which is what most fleets do when drivers are out for weeks at a stretch.

Yes, and this is the piece most vendors get wrong. Give us total headcount across all shifts, not the number of people working the day it arrives. Each gift is wrapped and labeled individually so a supervisor can hand them out over nights, weekends and the swing crew, instead of leaving a table of loose items to be picked over by whoever got there first.

Yes, and it is the most repeatable order in this sector. Accident-free miles, a clean year, a fifth or twentieth anniversary. We laser engrave the number, the name and the date in house and pair the keepsake with food the driver will actually eat on the road. Safety budgets tend to be annual and predictable, which makes these easy to plan a year out.

Yes. Send the roster in a spreadsheet and we pack, label and ship each one separately with its own tracking number. Shipping is quoted with the order so there are no surprises at the end. For a fleet spread across a dozen states this is usually the only method that gets every driver theirs in the same week.

Yes. Your logo on the message card is included, plus custom-printed ribbon, logoed box wrap, sticker labeling and in-house laser engraving on boards, drinkware and keepsakes. It is all cut and printed here, so branding does not add weeks to the schedule.

Often, yes. Larger shippers and 3PLs run supply-chain gift policies with per-person dollar limits well below what the rest of the business uses. Tell us the threshold and we build under it, with no pricing anywhere in the box. Same in reverse when a carrier is thanking the brokers and shippers who keep the trucks loaded.

Yes to both, with the correct documentation on file. We can provide a W-9 for vendor onboarding and accept company checks alongside major credit cards.

No minimum. Two drivers or two hundred, we will build it. Most orders of thirty or fewer finish within a day or two, and larger runs get a scheduled completion date up front. September is the crunch month in this industry, so book Driver Appreciation Week well ahead of it.
