  • WHAT DO YOU DO ON A DAILY BASIS TO BE SAFE ON THE ROAD?

    Prioritizing my mental health and awareness is one of the keys to staying safe on the road. A clear state of mental readiness allows a driver to utilize their skills in the fraction of a second needed to react on the road.

  • HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE SELECTED AS A FINALIST FOR THE PROFESSIONAL TANK TRUCK DRIVER OF THE YEAR AWARD?

    It is an unbelievable honor. The real reward is being able to advocate for and promote an industry that’s been so good to me.

  • HOW DID YOU GET YOUR START IN TRUCKING

    I didn’t set out to be a truck driver, but while working as a volunteer firefighter I learned how to drive firetrucks. Not long after that, I started my first job as a long-haul trucker, and I fell in love with it.

  • WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE THOSE IN THE NEXT GENERATION WHO ARE CONSIDERING JOINING THE INDUSTRY?

    My advice would be to focus on driving safe and staying distraction-free on the road. This is a very lucrative and prestigious job. It’s given me great compensation, ample home time, and an unmatched quality of life that other sectors of the transportation industry can’t provide.
