Companies Tip Cap To Truck Drivers At Newark Giveaway Event

A recent event in New Jersey thanked the truck drivers who make sure the "cold chain" is running smoothly: day-in and day-out.

NEWARK, NJ — New Jersey’s grocery stores would be in a world of trouble without the “cold chain” that keeps them stocked and supplied, and a recent event in Newark sought to tip a cap to the truck drivers who make sure it’s running smoothly: day-in and day-out.

As part of Truck Driver Appreciation Week, cold storage provider Lineage partnered with frozen fruit purveyor TruFru to celebrate truck drivers at its Newark facility.

Drivers were able to grab some treats and swag at the event. Check out some photos in the gallery above.
