House Resolution 139, sponsored by Chairman Kerry Benninghoff, would designate the week of Sept. 14–20, 2025, as Truck Driver Appreciation Week in Pennsylvania. Lane, a committee staff member, summarized the resolution: "This resolution designates the week of September 14 through the twentieth 20 25 as truck driver appreciation week. In Pennsylvania, the industry supports more than 362,000 jobs and includes over 71,000 mostly small, locally owned companies. There are no amendments."
Chairman Kerry Benninghoff urged support for the resolution and highlighted the role of truck drivers in the supply chain: "I do remind each 1 of us as we, go shopping at times that United States gets about 80% of its commodities delivered by truck 1 way or another. Whether they come in by plane or rail, they have to be offloaded onto trucks. It's a profession for both men and women." Benninghoff added a statistic on mileage driven: "And on average, the average driver drives over a 100,000 miles of roadway a year."
The committee recorded no negative votes, and House Resolution 139 was "reported as committee." The transcript does not include a roll‑call vote, implementation steps, or a requirement for any state spending tied to the designation.
