In a controversial move, the Trucking Industry Association (TIA) has announced that they will be banning the use of the phrase “knight of the road” in the industry due to overuse. The phrase, which is often used to describe truck drivers, has become so ubiquitous that it has lost all meaning, according to the TIA.
“We understand that truck drivers are some of the hardest-working individuals in the country, but we feel that the constant use of this phrase has become clichéd and unoriginal,” said TIA spokesperson Jennifer Smith. “We need to come up with new and creative ways to describe the men and women who keep our economy moving.”
The announcement has sparked outrage among truck drivers, many of whom feel that the phrase is an important part of their identity. “Being a “knight of the road” is more than just a phrase. It’s a way of life,” said veteran trucker Tom Johnson. “It represents the pride and dedication that we have for our jobs.”
Others, however, have welcomed the ban, arguing that the phrase has become outdated and is no longer relevant to the modern trucking industry. “Let’s face it, the days of the “knight of the road” are long gone,” said young driver Lisa Martinez. “We need to embrace new language that reflects the changing nature of our industry.”
Despite the controversy, the TIA is standing by its decision to ban the phrase. They have promised to work with truck drivers to come up with new and more creative ways to describe their work, such as “road warriors” or “highway heroes.”
In the meantime, truck drivers are being urged to refrain from using the phrase in public, as it is now considered taboo in the industry. Those caught using the phrase may face fines or even suspension of their license.
As for what will replace the phrase “knight of the road,” only time will tell. But one thing is for sure. The trucking industry will never be the same without it.
