The road that connects everything


National Lorry Week celebrates the people, businesses and vehicles that keep the UK moving.


From food and medicine to fuel, clothing and online deliveries, almost everything we buy, use or rely on has spent time on a truck. Road transport connects communities, supports businesses and underpins supply chains across the UK.


This year's campaign shines a spotlight on the drivers, planners, apprentices, operators, engineers and logistics professionals who make it all possible.

National Lorry Week and UK Logistics Week



National Lorry Week runs from 24–30 June 2026 and leads directly into UK Logistics Week, culminating at RTX and Multimodal from 30 June to 2 July.


Together, these events celebrate the vital role road transport plays in keeping Britain moving while exploring the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of logistics.

National Lorry Week unites the haulage industry, stakeholders and general public to celebrate the sector’s workforce and contribution to the UK economy. 


Now in our 11th year, we shine a light on the role the sector plays as a vital cog in society and the fantastic career opportunities and skills it offers. 
The annual showcase features talented individuals working in the sector, their skilled roles and why haulage and lorries are so important to the nation. 


After all, almost everything we use spends time on a lorry!
