I always knew I wanted a lifelong career that was full of adventure and making a difference. Joining the trucking industry delivered on both. Having worked in the industry for over two decades, I thrive knowing each day brings new challenges and opportunities, and that our country depends on trucking to maintain its livelihood. I started as a dispatcher and worked my way to where I am now, Chief Operating Officer at Great West Casualty Company.

People are what make the difference. Our industry is driven by family-owned businesses, entrepreneurs, owner-operators, you name it. There is no single ‘right recipe’ for a motor carrier. They vary in size, specialty, service area, the list goes on. Every trucker has their own unique story, yet they all play an important part in our industry and share the qualities of dedication and resiliency.
