Truck Driver of the Year.

Dave was chosen based upon his safe driving record, job performance and
community service. During his years on the road, Dave has driven almost
four million miles and has earned several safe-driving awards. Dave's
professional career began by chance 38-years ago, when another driver was
unable to make his run. When he returned from the trip, he was offered a
job and has been enjoying the open road ever since.
Today, Dave operates his 2008 Cascadia down to Texas over to New Mexico and
back to Minnesota.
Dave and his wife, Jeanette, reside in Lakefield Minnesota. When off-duty,
Dave enjoys another type of driving - golf. He is also an avid fisherman
and bowler
Congratulations Dave!!!!
