PORTLAND, OR – Jubitz Travel Center will recognize the efforts of America’s truck drivers with its annual Driver Appreciation Day to be held at its Portland facility on September 14, 2011.  The event will run concurrently with National Truck Driver Appreciation Week which honors all professional truck drivers for their hard work and commitment in tackling one of our economy’s most demanding and important jobs.
