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.
