Drivers play a pivotal role in keeping our communities connected and functioning. From delivering essential goods to transporting critical medical supplies, drivers are more than just transporters; they're essential links in the supply chain and everyday lives.
At Excel Courier, we understand the immense value that our 250+ drivers bring to our organization and the communities we serve in the Mid-Atlantic.
To express our gratitude and appreciation, we are proud to announce our 7th annual Driver Appreciation Week, taking place from September 16th to 20th.
Celebrating drivers is more than just a gesture of goodwill; it's a recognition of their vital contributions to our society. Here's why we believe it's crucial to honor their hard work:
Join us for a week of festivities and recognition as we celebrate our incredible drivers. Here's a glimpse of what's coming:
Throughout the week, we will also share inspiring stories, highlight the challenges and rewards of being a driver, and encourage our community to express their gratitude for these hardworking individuals. Let's come together to celebrate our drivers and show them that their contributions are truly valued.
We'll add updates to this blog throughout the week, but you can also follow us in real time on our social accounts.
We're excited to share some fantastic client testimonials about our incredible team. Drivers are the face, heart, and soul of Excel Courier, going the extra mile every day to provide reliable delivery service and create meaningful connections with our clients and the community.
Every day, we raffled off gifts to our fleet of around 250 drivers. We gave away items like JBL speakers, Roku Stick, Commander and Ravens football club-level tickets, and more!

Excel Courier drivers are a diverse group, each with their own unique story and experiences. There's more to person behind the uniform. Our Meet the Driver series offers you a chance to get to know some of the people you interact with daily, providing a glimpse into their lives and backgrounds. We asked each driver to answer questions of their choosing from a selection of questions.
Q: What advice would you give a fellow courier that is just starting out?A: “Be on time and meticulous.”
A: “One of the customs and/or traditions I practice before I start my day is to first, show gratitude for waking up daily and do my best to carry a positive attitude. I believe that everything starts there. 
Q: One thing you wish customers knew about being a driver?
A: “Drivers want to be treated with respect. It takes time to do a job well done and should never be rushed, especially if there are a lot of special instructions. It's important to be careful and follow safety precautions, especially in the city.”
Q: What was your first paying job?
We were sad to see the end of Driver Appreciation Week. However, we want to emphasize that our goal is to make driver appreciation year-round. The celebration should not be limited to just one week. We understand that the job is time-critical and not always easy, so THANK YOU!! We hope you enjoyed the week as much as we did, and it's not goodbye, but see you later.
