      <itunes:summary>This week on Trucking Tributes, host Susan Patten sits down with Tracy Vanier to highlight the incredible role professional truck drivers play in the Wreaths Across America mission.In 2024 alone, drivers delivered 800 truckloads of veterans’ wreaths, representing over 390 carriers, bringing Americans together to remember, honor, and teach. Tracy shares her journey into trucking, inspired by the Eagles’ “Take It Easy” and the spinoff BJ and the Bear, her early days learning to drive, and her deep connection to the Wreaths Across America mission.From her experiences hauling wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery and Maine’s Annual Wreath Escort, to teaching her son the art of trucking, Tracy’s story is a testament to the dedication, patriotism, and camaraderie of professional drivers. She encourages all drivers and carriers to join the Honor Fleet and make a difference in veterans’ lives.Listen to Trucking Tributes every Truckin’ Tuesday at 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM EST on Wreaths Across America Radio, and on RadioNemo’s Road Gang Radio at 9:00 AM ET / 8:00 AM CT.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this week’s edition of Trucking Tributes, host Susan Patten shines a spotlight on the professional drivers and trucking companies who make the Wreaths Across America mission possible.</p><p></p><p>Without the trucking community, the mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach would be nearly impossible. In 2024 alone:</p><p>800 truckloads of wreaths were delivered</p><p>390+ carriers and partners were involved</p><p>4,909 participating locations across the U.S. and overseas</p><p></p><p>Now, the 2025 season has officially begun, and WAA is calling on carriers and drivers to join the Honor Fleet. With more than 5,200 participating locations nationwide, there are plenty of lanes to fit carriers’ schedules and equipment.</p><p></p><p>Courtney George, WAA’s Director of Transportation and Industry Relations, emphasizes: “I feel like I say it every year, but we need trucks. Some of our open loads require pickup in Maine at our headquarters, but I’ve got some out of Greensboro, some out of Phoenix, and some out of Mississippi. This year, we’ve got nine cross-docks, so if you can’t make it to Maine, that’s not a big deal. If you’re a carrier or an owner-operator, there is a place for you to help.”</p><p></p><p>Professional drivers often say this is the most meaningful cargo of their careers—helping families and communities honor their fallen heroes. From wreaths on grills to personal stories that give goosebumps, the impact lasts a lifetime.</p><p></p><p>Want to get involved? Email Wreaths Across America to start the onboarding process and join the Honor Fleet today.</p><p></p><p>Guest:</p><p>Courtney George | Director of Transportation &amp; Industry Relations, Wreaths Across America</p><p>Host:</p><p>Susan Patten | Wreaths Across America Radio</p><p></p><p>Links:</p><p>Wreaths Across America: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbS1JNXp6UTY3Vl9DV1RhcklkRHJWSDlCejY4Z3xBQ3Jtc0tuYzkteC1EWTJGWlhVRVplclR0Mkp1WFhpdnFUN3g5LTJkRVpfQmJ1Ty04cG9TYThPSlotakhCUHFxdmM3d1dxRkFDeUs0QUd3VW1PNVk3ZnVBRkx5QVpHSV9kX19SSVgtRUdTNmd1UV9VWnYtQ1hsZw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wreathsacrossamerica.org%2F&amp;v=VRMsQmaKiBQ">https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org</a></p><p>National Wreaths Across America Day: Saturday, December 13, 2025</p><p></p><p>Thanks for tuning in!

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this week’s edition of Trucking Tributes, host Susan Patten shines a spotlight on the professional drivers and trucking companies who make the Wreaths Across America mission possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without the trucking community, the mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach would be nearly impossible. In 2024 alone:</p><p>800 truckloads of wreaths were delivered</p><p>390+ carriers and partners were involved</p><p>4,909 participating locations across the U.S. and overseas</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, the 2025 season has officially begun, and WAA is calling on carriers and drivers to join the Honor Fleet. With more than 5,200 participating locations nationwide, there are plenty of lanes to fit carriers’ schedules and equipment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Courtney George, WAA’s Director of Transportation and Industry Relations, emphasizes: “I feel like I say it every year, but we need trucks. Some of our open loads require pickup in Maine at our headquarters, but I’ve got some out of Greensboro, some out of Phoenix, and some out of Mississippi. This year, we’ve got nine cross-docks, so if you can’t make it to Maine, that’s not a big deal. If you’re a carrier or an owner-operator, there is a place for you to help.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Professional drivers often say this is the most meaningful cargo of their careers—helping families and communities honor their fallen heroes. From wreaths on grills to personal stories that give goosebumps, the impact lasts a lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>Want to get involved?

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Trucking Tributes with Susan Patten, we share the story of Richard Vanier and Stevens Trucking as they proudly join the Wreaths Across America Honor Fleet.</p><p></p><p>Professional drivers and trucking companies make the Wreaths Across America mission possible. Each December, drivers haul millions of veterans’ wreaths to cemeteries across the nation and beyond. In 2024 alone, 800 truckloads of wreaths were delivered with the help of over 390 carriers and partners.</p><p></p><p>Richard’s story is one of family, service, and honor. From team-driving with his mother, Tracy, to hauling wreaths through snow and ice, Richard describes why transporting wreaths is the most meaningful cargo of his career. His reflections on joining the mission with Stevens Trucking and the welcoming community in Maine highlight the true spirit of unity among truckers.</p><p></p><p>Learn more about Wreaths Across America and how professional drivers make this mission possible at: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEx5VGdPRFJTbFFkbVpTLVloUm5iSWJOV0NwQXxBQ3Jtc0ttUHg3NE1Sa21HZWlQbDY1RmxVYzN3QU9NYUthbjlKV3NSM25wOTg2X3RZUFpJRzRWQ1g0SFZ6bkd0WHRseko3dHlRRjhaLWdHM3NuYzZRSFJBZ1JoRExONUpRSHo3M24zdXhpZHpFM3M5TVVrckk5NA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwreathsacrossamerica.org%2F&amp;v=-SYakbhVh04">https://wreathsacrossamerica.org</a></p><p></p><p>Thank you to Richard &amp; Tracy Vanier, Stevens Trucking, and Alabama Motor Express for continuing this mission of respect and remembrance.</p><p></p><p>Host: Susan Patten | Trucking Tributes on Wreaths Across America Radio</p><p></p><p>Thanks for tuning in!
