]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first year as a truck driver is when most new drivers either adjust or leave the industry. Pay starts lower than that of experienced drivers, schedules are inconsistent, and new hires are typically placed in over-the-road roles with extended time away from home. The first few months are focused on learning how to run miles consistently, manage time under hours-of-service rules, and avoid mistakes that limit future opportunities.</p>
<h2><strong>What First-Year Truck Drivers Actually Earn</strong></h2>
<p>New drivers are usually paid per mile, with starting rates around 40 to 55 cents per mile, depending on the carrier and freight type. Weekly income often falls between 800 and 1,300 dollars, but it can swing lower or higher depending on miles and delays.</p>
<p>Lower weeks tend to come from sitting at shippers, waiting on dispatch, or running shorter loads. Higher weeks come from steady miles, longer routes, and fewer delays. Pay becomes more consistent after the first few months once dispatch sees reliable performance.</p>
<h3><strong>What the Schedule Really Looks Like</strong></h3>
<p>First-year roles are typically over the road. A common schedule is two to three weeks out with two to four days at home, though it varies by carrier.</p>
<p>Daily plans are built around delivery times, hours of service limits, and load availability. Some days involve full driving shifts, while others include long wait times at docks. The biggest adjustment early on is managing time when plans change.</p>
<p>Local and dedicated routes are rarely available at the start. Many companies require several months to a year of experience before moving into those positions.</p>
<h4><strong>What Training and Early Driving Are Actually Like</strong></h4>
<p>Training usually begins with a trainer for several weeks before running solo. This period focuses on real conditions, including backing into tight docks, planning routes, and handling live loads.</p>
<p>After going solo, mistakes can happen. Missed turns, slow backing, and time management issues are common early on. Carriers track performance closely during the first year. Great improvement leads to better loads and more consistent miles.</p>
<h5><strong>What Expenses and Deductions Look Like</strong></h5>
<p>Company drivers generally have limited out-of-pocket costs, but deductions can still appear for benefits, advances, or equipment. These reduce take-home pay and can catch new drivers off guard.</p>
<p>Owner-operators take on higher costs, including fuel, insurance, maintenance, and truck payments. Earnings can be higher, but income is less predictable early on.</p>
<h6><strong>What Affects Your Opportunities After Year One</strong></h6>
<p>The first year is used to measure safety, reliability, and consistency. A clean record and steady delivery history lead to better routes, higher-paying freight, and more flexibility.</p>
<p>Higher-paying positions, including dedicated lanes, local routes, and specialized freight, usually require six to twelve months of experience.</p>
<p><strong>Frequently Asked Questions</strong></p>
<p>Q: Is the first year the hardest part of trucking?<br />
A: Yes. It involves adjusting to time away from home, inconsistent schedules, and learning how to manage miles and time.</p>
<p>Q: How long does it take for pay to improve?<br />
A: Pay typically becomes more consistent after three to six months as miles stabilize and performance improves.</p>
<p>Q: When can drivers move into local jobs?<br />
A: Most local roles require six to twelve months of experience, depending on the company.</p>
<p>Q: Why do some weeks pay less than others?<br />
A: Lower weeks are usually caused by delays at shippers, fewer miles, or time spent waiting between loads.</p>
<p>Q: What matters most in the first year?<br />
A: Safe driving, on-time delivery, and running consistent miles.</p>
<p><strong>What the First Year Sets Up</strong></p>
<p>The first year determines what comes next. Drivers who stay safe, run consistently, and avoid violations are the ones who move into better-paying routes and more stable schedules.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acts that happen in a matter of seconds on the road often leave a lasting impact. In March, the Truckload Carriers Association named three drivers as Highway Angel recipients, recognizing their actions during real emergencies on the highway.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://highwayangel.org/">Highway Angel</a> program, launched in 1997, highlights professional drivers who step in during critical moments. Presented by TCA in partnership with EpicVue, the program has recognized nearly 1,500 drivers across North America.</p>
<h2><strong>Michael Alpine Responds to Early Morning Rollover</strong></h2>
<p>Michael Alpine of ABF Freight was driving near Gustine around 4 a.m. when he saw a truck lose control.</p>
<p>“I saw the brake lights of the truck come on and then immediately swerve… and then it started rolling over,” Alpine said.</p>
<p>He contacted emergency services and worked to secure the area before assisting those involved. The driver remained conscious but reported neck and back pain, while two passengers had visible injuries, including head trauma. Alpine stayed at the scene until help arrived.</p>
<p>“It’s always a good day when people can walk away from a crash,” Alpine said. “You can replace material things — you can’t replace people. I encourage everybody to get first aid and CPR training,” he added. “Sometimes we are the first responders out there.”</p>
<h3><strong>Anthony Dunne Stops After Spotting Crash in Louisiana</strong></h3>
<p>Anthony Dunne of Maverick Transportation was traveling along Highway 65 near Transylvania at about 2 a.m. when he encountered debris in the road.</p>
<p>After maneuvering around a large branch, he noticed a heavily damaged truck off the roadway nearby.</p>
<p>“Honestly I didn’t think that anybody was going to be okay from that one,” said Dunne. “I really thought that was going to be a DOA scene.”</p>
<p>He found the driver trapped but conscious. With the location being remote, it took roughly 45 minutes for emergency crews to arrive. The driver was eventually removed with minor injuries.</p>
<p>“I couldn’t just drive by if there was something I could do,” Dunne said.</p>
<h3><strong>Scott Derrick Acts Quickly at Vehicle Fire in California</strong></h3>
<p>Scott Derrick, also with ABF Freight, came across a vehicle fire around 2:30 a.m. on Interstate 15 near Oak Hills.</p>
<p>“I feel like God told me ‘It’s time for you to go to work’,” Derrick said.</p>
<p>He stopped and grabbed a fire extinguisher from his truck. A UPS driver involved in the incident was already helping people out of a burning vehicle, but one person remained trapped.</p>
<p>“I got out with the fire extinguisher and thought, ‘I’m old, I’ve lived my life’.”</p>
<p>Derrick was able to reach the vehicle and pull the injured individual to safety.</p>
<p>“I just thought, he’s not going to die while I’m here tonight,” Derrick said.</p>
<h4><strong>Recognition Built on Real Moments</strong></h4>
<p>Each of these situations unfolded in low visibility conditions during overnight hours, when traffic is lighter but response times can be longer. In those moments, the actions taken by drivers on scene often make the difference before emergency crews arrive.</p>
<p>The Highway Angel program continues to spotlight those decisions and the role professional drivers play beyond moving freight.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recognition at the national level doesn’t come easy in trucking. It takes years on the road, a reputation for doing things the right way, and the kind of leadership others notice. That’s exactly what led to <strong>Ingrid Brown</strong> being named the 2026 Driver of the Year by the <a href="https://www.womenintrucking.org/">Women In Trucking Association</a>.</p>
<p>The announcement came during the Salute to Women Behind the Wheel event at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky. The event highlights women who continue raising the bar across trucking through consistency, professionalism, and long-term impact.</p>
<h2><strong>A Career Built Over Decades</strong></h2>
<p>Brown’s career spans 46 years, covering everything from running as an independent owner-operator to managing operations for a specialized refrigerated fleet. She currently serves as operations manager at <a href="https://www.blackjackexpress.com/">Blackjack Express LLC</a> while still spending time behind the wheel hauling heavy, oversize, and refrigerated freight.</p>
<p>Her background includes launching Rollin’ B LLC and steadily building a reputation rooted in safety, reliability, and leadership. Over time, that consistency has turned into a legacy recognized across the industry.</p>
<p>She has also earned multiple honors throughout her career, including the National Association of Small Trucking Companies Woman Driver of the Year Award, the TA Petro Citizen Driver Award, and recognition as an inaugural inductee at the Mid-America Trucking Show Wall of Fame.</p>
<h3><strong>Leadership Beyond the Driver&#8217;s Seat</strong></h3>
<p>Brown has been involved with the Women In Trucking Association since 2007 as a charter member. She is now serving her second term on the board of directors and works as a liaison to the Women In Trucking Foundation board.</p>
<p>Her influence goes beyond titles. She has contributed as a safety collaborator with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and has spent years mentoring other drivers while staying active in her community.</p>
<p>Her story also includes personal resilience, having survived melanoma cancer three times while continuing to stay engaged in the industry.</p>
<h3><strong>Recognition From Industry Leaders</strong></h3>
<p>Her selection for Driver of the Year reflects how peers and leadership view her impact.</p>
<p>“We are proud to recognize Ingrid, whose tireless commitment to excellence, safety, and empowering women in this industry sets a standard that inspires us all,” said Jennifer Hedrick, CAE, WIT president and CEO.</p>
<p>That same respect is echoed by others who have worked alongside her.</p>
<p>“Ingrid consistently operates with the highest standards of safety, reliability, and integrity, understanding that her actions reflect not only on her company, but on the trucking industry as a whole,” said Kristy Knichel, president of <a href="https://www.knichellogistics.com/">Knichel Logistics</a>. “Through her actions, attitude, and dedication, she elevates the profession and inspires those around her.”</p>
<h3><strong>What the Award Represents</strong></h3>
<p>The Driver of the Year Award, presented with support from Walmart, focuses on individuals who consistently prioritize safety while helping shape how the public views trucking.</p>
<p>“Walmart is proud to sponsor the Driver of the Year award because it reflects our commitment to safety, excellence, and a culture of belonging across transportation,” said Ryan McDaniel, Walmart senior vice president, transportation. “Ingrid Brown embodies what this recognition stands for: a seasoned professional whose leadership, safety advocacy, and dedication to the industry have made a meaningful impact. Congrats to Ingrid for being named Driver of the Year.”</p>
<h3><strong>Finalists Recognized Alongside Brown</strong></h3>
<p>Brown was selected from a strong group of finalists, each bringing their own contributions to the profession:</p>
<p>Fabiola Campos-Buenavista, professional driver and driver development instructor, FedEx Freight<br />
Gina Jones, company driver, Werner<br />
KellyLynn McLaughlin, national transportation driver, dump and roll off, Clean Harbors Environmental Services</p>
<h4><strong>Why This Recognition Matters</strong></h4>
<p>Awards like this highlight what many already know. Long careers built on safety, consistency, and mentorship don’t just move freight. They shape the future of trucking.</p>
<p>Brown’s story reflects what’s possible when experience meets leadership and when drivers stay committed to doing the job right year after year.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Interested in launching a truck driving career from scratch? Countless student drivers make it happen every year with smart planning and the right resources. This guide walks you through key factors to weigh, how to pick a truck driving school, job-hunting strategies, and interview tips to land no-experience truck driving jobs or entry-level trucking jobs.</p>
<h2><strong>Why Trucking Appeals to Beginners</strong></h2>
<p>Graduates fresh from CDL training step into entry-level trucking jobs starting around $50,000 annually, with pay climbing steadily as you rack up safe miles. Employers care more about your commitment and clean background than years behind the wheel.</p>
<h3><strong>Lifestyle Factors to Think Through</strong></h3>
<p>Many routes keep you away from home for days or even weeks, so gauge if that fits your life. You&#8217;ll handle physical tasks like climbing into the cab, inspections, and long hours seated, and passing a DOT physical for vision, hearing, and health comes first. CDL training typically costs $4,000 to $7,000, but company-sponsored programs often cover it for those eager to learn truck driving skills.</p>
<p>Sit down with family to discuss changing routines, including nights away or holiday shifts. Also plan for extras like fuel and roadside meals.</p>
<h3><strong>Finding the Right CDL Training Program</strong></h3>
<p>Look for programs running 4 to 8 weeks, mixing classroom lessons, yard drills, and road time to earn your Class A license. FMCSA-registered truck driving schools with 90%+ job placement and solid hands-on hours stand out. A nearby option eases the learn truck drive stretch without extra travel hassles.</p>
<p>Endorsements for hazmat or tankers can make you more hireable right away. Always review their test pass rates and company partnerships.</p>
<h3><strong>Official Directory of Truck Driving Schools</strong></h3>
<p>The FMCSA directory gives you a free, downloadable list of over 5,000 verified providers across the country. Check it out at <a href="https://fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/commercial-drivers-license/training-provider-registry">FMCSA Training Provider Registry</a>—search by state, see compliance info, and get direct contacts.</p>
<p>Put it to use like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Focus on active schools with strong student success.</li>
<li>Match up program lengths, prices, and schedules.</li>
<li>Give your top picks a call to check openings.</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s your straightforward path to quality CDL training.</p>
<h3><strong>Landing No Experience Truck Driving Jobs</strong></h3>
<p>Major carriers with student fleets pay you during training and guarantee entry-level trucking jobs once you finish truck driving school. Spotlight your new CDL and dependable attitude in applications for no-experience truck driving jobs. Job fairs right at training centers let you chat with recruiters on the spot.</p>
<p>Start regional for more home time and keep an eye on $5,000 sign-on bonuses in demand areas.</p>
<h3><strong>Interview Tips to Get Hired</strong></h3>
<p>Research the company&#8217;s routes and FMCSA safety ratings before you go. Arrive 15 minutes early with your CDL, medical card, resume, dressed in a collared shirt and boots.</p>
<p>Handle typical questions smoothly:</p>
<ul>
<li>Detail your pre-trip inspection from nose to tail.</li>
<li>Explain safely managing a tire blowout or fatigue.</li>
<li>Recap Hours of Service rules, like no more than 11 hours driving per day.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ask about their training teams and home time to show you&#8217;re serious. Practice with STAR examples (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for confident answers.</p>
<h4><strong>Your Step-by-Step Plan Forward</strong></h4>
<p>Download the <a href="https://fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/commercial-drivers-license/training-provider-registry">FMCSA directory</a> now and contact three schools. Set up your DOT physical this week. Tweak your resume to highlight skills like customer service or basic repairs.</p>
<p>Power through CDL training, pass your skills test, nail the interview, and claim that entry-level trucking job soon. Safe driving and best wishes on your journey!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wellness programs built for truck drivers focus on practical fitness, nutrition, and support that fit the demands of life on the road. These initiatives help drivers maintain steady energy levels and stay productive during long hauls. Research shows that truck drivers who participate see moderate gains in healthy eating habits, like increased fruit and vegetable intake, which supports better overall vitality and focus behind the wheel.</p>
<p>Programs from groups like <a href="https://www.healthytruck.org/"><strong>Healthy Trucking America</strong></a> provide accessible tools, including CDC-recognized diabetes prevention options, making it straightforward for drivers to build lasting habits. Fleets offering these see benefits too, with lower absenteeism and higher team output as drivers miss fewer shifts.</p>
<h2><strong>Proven Benefits from Real Program Data</strong></h2>
<p>Truck driver wellness programs deliver clear, measurable advantages. Studies confirm improvements in nutrition and activity lead to sharper alertness and reliable performance.</p>

These steps take just minutes but build endurance for the long term. Participation often leads to greater satisfaction as drivers feel more in control of their health amid irregular hours.</p>
<h4><strong>Frequently Asked Questions</strong></h4>
<p><strong>Are wellness programs free for truck drivers?</strong></p>
<p>Many fleets cover them fully, and national options like Healthy Trucking America offer low-cost or sponsored access for independents.​</p>
<p><strong>How quickly do drivers notice changes in wellness habits?</strong></p>
<p>Most report better sleep and focus within two weeks of consistent nutrition and movement tweaks.​</p>
<p><strong>Do these programs help with DOT physical requirements?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, by addressing common issues like blood pressure and weight, making it easier to maintain a valid medical card.​</p>
<p>Wellness programs empower truck drivers to take control of their health with proven strategies that enhance every mile on the road. By building these habits, you position yourself for stronger performance, greater job satisfaction, and a more sustainable career in trucking.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A professional truck driver’s quick decisions and calm response during a dangerous roadside emergency in Kansas have earned national recognition from the Truckload Carriers Association.</p>
<p>The Truckload Carriers Association has named Christopher Bishop, a professional driver for Hi Pro Inc., as a recipient of the TCA Highway Angel Award for his actions following a hit-and-run crash involving a motorcyclist in Wichita, Kansas.</p>
<h2><strong>Early Morning Emergency in Wichita</strong></h2>
<p>The incident happened in the early morning hours of Dec. 13 at approximately 2:15 a.m. CST. Bishop had just left his terminal and was heading to load at the Wichita USPS Processing and Distribution Center when he came upon a disturbing scene on a city roadway.</p>
<p>A motorcycle was lying in a ditch, and its rider was severely injured and positioned in the middle of the road.</p>
<p>“He was just lying in the middle of the road,” Bishop said. “I stopped, and the first thing that ran through my mind was that he was dead.”</p>
<p>Based on what Bishop observed and later camera footage, the motorcyclist appeared to have been struck by a sedan that fled the scene without stopping.</p>
<h3><strong>Protecting the Scene and the Victim</strong></h3>
<p>Without hesitation, Bishop activated his truck’s flashers and positioned his vehicle to block traffic, creating a barrier between the injured rider and oncoming vehicles. After checking the rider, Bishop realized the man was still alive.</p>
<p>Bishop immediately called 911 and stayed with the victim, keeping him conscious and monitoring his breathing while emergency responders were on the way.</p>
<p>“I kept him talking as much as I could,” Bishop said. “Not long after that, an ambulance and police showed up.”</p>
<p>Emergency crews arrived roughly seven minutes later.</p>
<h3><strong>Critical Actions in Dangerous Conditions</strong></h3>
<p>Bishop’s actions were especially important given the cold December temperatures and the risks associated with a dark roadway in the early morning hours. By blocking traffic and staying with the injured motorcyclist, Bishop helped prevent further injuries, exposure to the cold, or the possibility of another vehicle striking the victim.</p>
<p>“Sometimes you have to actively be the change you want to see in the world,” he said.</p>
<p>Bishop later expressed disbelief that the driver responsible for the crash failed to stop.</p>
<p>“They didn’t stop; I couldn’t imagine doing that to someone and not stopping to check on him — that’s crazy,” he said.</p>
<h4><strong>Recognition From the Truckload Carriers Association</strong></h4>
<p>The TCA Highway Angel Award recognizes professional truck drivers who demonstrate extraordinary kindness, courage, and professionalism while on the road. Since the program began in August 1997, nearly 1,500 drivers have been honored for actions that go beyond the job description.</p>
<p>The Highway Angel program is made possible through the support of presenting sponsor <a href="https://epicvue.com/">EpicVue</a> and supporting sponsors <a href="https://www.home.driverfacts.com/">DriverFacts</a> and Northland Insurance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Truck drivers who stick around longer with their fleets often point to better home time, reliable schedules, and feeling respected on the job. Recent surveys show more than half of drivers are actively looking for new work, but those who stay value carriers that deliver on these basics consistently across different parts of the country.</p>
<h2><strong>Truck Driver Turnover Trends by Region</strong></h2>
<p>National surveys from late 2025 paint a clear picture of the trucking workforce. Over 56 percent of drivers reported searching for new jobs, up sharply from earlier in the year, with turnover rates for large truckload carriers averaging around 90 percent annually based on long-term American Trucking Associations data.</p>
<p>This churn hits hardest in regions with heavy freight demand and long-haul routes. Midwest carriers, for example, have reported turnover as low as 32 percent in some operations compared to the broader industry average, thanks to focused efforts on driver input and scheduling. Southern and Western regions face higher pressure from booming ports and e-commerce, while Northeast fleets deal with traffic and shorter hauls that still demand reliability.</p>
<p>Fleets that keep drivers longer invest in what matters most, and those patterns show up differently depending on where the trucks roll.</p>
<table width="658">
<thead>
<tr>
<td><strong>Region</strong></td>
<td><strong>Approximate Annual Turnover Range</strong></td>
<td><strong>Top Retention Factors from Driver Surveys</strong></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Midwest</td>
<td>30-50% ​</td>
<td>Consistent miles, dispatcher communication ​</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>South</td>
<td>70-90% ​</td>
<td>Home time predictability, equipment quality ​</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Northeast</td>
<td>60-85% ​</td>
<td>Respect from management, benefits access ​</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>West</td>
<td>75-95% ​</td>
<td>Reliable pay structure, training programs ​</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h3><strong>Key Factors That Help Drivers Stay Put</strong></h3>
<p>Home time tops the list every time. In a fall 2025 survey, 58 percent of drivers named it as their main reason for seeking a change, with 61 percent willing to take slightly less pay for more days at home.​</p>
<p>Predictable pay and steady miles come next, cited by over half of respondents. Drivers also mention dispatcher respect and clear communication as deal-makers, with nearly one in four feeling undervalued at their current spot.</p>
<p>These elements play out regionally. Midwest fleets often succeed with transparent scheduling that matches driver feedback, keeping turnover lower than national norms. In the South and West, where freight volumes fluctuate, carriers that maintain consistent equipment and quick issue resolution hold onto talent better.</p>
<h3><strong>How Fleets Build Loyalty in Tough Markets</strong></h3>
<p>Carriers responding to these trends focus on listening. Structured feedback channels and acting on driver input lead to higher satisfaction, as shown in multiple industry reports.</p>
<p>Newer equipment and training also matter. Access to reliable trucks reduces downtime frustration, a common complaint in high-turnover areas like the West Coast ports.​</p>
<p>Demographics add another layer. Nearly half of drivers are 56 or older, so fleets offering flexible schedules appeal to those balancing work and retirement plans.​</p>
<h4><strong>Which Regions Report Better Truck Driver Retention?</strong></h4>
<p>Surveys show the Midwest often leads with lower turnover, around 30 to 50 percent in standout carriers, compared to 75 to 95 percent in the West. Factors like steady Midwest manufacturing freight help, but it&#8217;s the focus on communication that sets top performers apart.</p>
<h4><strong>Do Drivers in Your Region Stay Longer with Carriers?</strong></h4>
<p>It depends on the fleet. In the South, where turnover runs 70 to 90 percent, drivers stick with companies offering solid home time and pay predictability. Northeast hauls see similar patterns, with respect and benefits tipping the scale for longer tenures.</p>
<h4><strong>What Are the Top Reasons Drivers Stay with Fleets in Different Regions?</strong></h4>
<p>Home time, consistent miles, and feeling respected rank highest nationwide, but regional specifics tie to local freight. Texas fleets in the South emphasize equipment, while Washington carriers in the West prioritize training amid port growth.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="https://truckload.org/"><strong>Truckload Carriers Association</strong></a> has named three professional drivers as its <strong>2025 Highway Angels of the Year</strong>, recognizing actions taken on the road that went far beyond normal job duties.</p>
<p>The annual Highway Angels program highlights moments where truck drivers step in during emergencies, often before first responders arrive. This year’s honorees were selected for decisions made in real time, under pressure, in situations where hesitation could have cost lives.</p>
<h2><strong>2025 Highway Angels of the Year</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Terry Walde, <a href="https://searcytrucking.com/">Searcy Trucking Ltd.</a></li>
<li>Deshown Moye, <a href="https://meltontruck.com/">Melton Truck Lines</a></li>
<li>Heather Barkey, <a href="https://nussbaum.com/">Nussbaum Transportation</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Each driver encountered a different emergency. The common thread was immediate action.</p>
<h3><strong>Terry Walde Acts After a Hit and Run in Saskatchewan</strong></h3>
<p>Terry Walde, a veteran driver with more than 40 years behind the wheel, was traveling eastbound on Highway 1 in Saskatchewan on May 27, 2025. Debris covered the roadway. Traffic was still moving.</p>
<p>Moments later, Walde found a cyclist who had been struck by a semi truck in a hit-and-run crash.</p>
<p>Walde stopped. He checked the cyclist’s breathing. He stayed calm. He relayed injury details to emergency responders and then took on another role, directing traffic around the scene to prevent further harm.</p>
<p>He remained there for several hours.</p>
<p>Dashcam footage later provided by Searcy Trucking helped authorities identify and charge the driver responsible. Walde’s actions kept the cyclist alive long enough for help to arrive and ensured accountability followed.</p>
<h3><strong>Deshown Moye Responds to Major Crash on I-65</strong></h3>
<p>On April 28, 2025, Deshown Moye was driving through Alabama when he came upon the aftermath of a violent multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 65.</p>
<p>A small sedan had been forced underneath a tractor-trailer. The driver inside was trapped and critically injured. Smoke was visible.</p>
<p>Moye pulled over, checked for hazards, and called 911. He moved quickly but carefully.</p>
<p>With the woman’s consent, he relieved pressure from her seatbelt, stabilized her injuries, and stayed with her for nearly 45 minutes. He talked to her. He kept her conscious. He did not leave until emergency crews arrived.</p>
<p>His presence mattered.</p>
<h3><strong>Heather Barkey Pulls Driver From Overturned Truck</strong></h3>
<p>Late on June 18, 2025, Heather Barkey was nearing her terminal in Mount Vernon, Illinois, when she noticed a truck rolled over along the roadway.</p>
<p>No one else had stopped.</p>
<p>The vehicle was leaking fuel. Smoke was present. The driver was trapped.</p>
<p>Barkey pulled over, activated her hazard lights, and called 911. Using a flashlight she already had in her cab, she broke a window and helped the driver escape before conditions worsened.</p>
<p>She stayed on scene until law enforcement confirmed the driver was safe.</p>
<h3><strong>Recognition at TCA Annual Convention</strong></h3>
<p>All three drivers will be formally honored during the Awards Luncheon on Monday, March 2, held in conjunction with the <strong>TCA Annual Convention</strong> in Orlando.</p>
<p>Each honoree will receive:</p>
<ul>
<li>A complimentary EpicVue satellite TV package</li>
<li>A 24-inch television</li>
<li>DVR</li>
<li>One year of DIRECTV programming</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>About the TCA Highway Angel Program</strong></h4>
<p>“Since its inception in 1997, TCA’s Highway Angel program has recognized nearly 1,500 professional truck drivers for exemplary kindness, courtesy, and courage displayed while on the job,” TCA said.</p>
<p>The program is sponsored by <a href="https://epicvue.com/">EpicVue</a>, <a href="https://www.northlandins.com/">Northland Insurance</a>, and <a href="https://www.home.driverfacts.com/">DriverFacts</a>.</p>
<p>Drivers can be nominated by fellow motorists, law enforcement, carriers, or members of the public.</p>

While the honor is aimed at individual achievement, its impact reaches drivers directly by strengthening compliance, safety practices, and carrier operations that affect day-to-day life on the road.</p>
<h2><strong>Why This Award Matters to Drivers</strong></h2>
<p>Strong HR and compliance leadership plays a direct role in how drivers are recruited, supported, and retained. Policies around onboarding, hours of service, safety programs, and driver communication all begin with educated professionals behind the scenes. TCA created this award to highlight how continued learning improves real-world trucking jobs.</p>
<p>“Education is one of the biggest advantages a career can invest in, especially in HR and compliance, where the details matter,” said Mark Hill, CEO, PCS Software. “Congratulations to Tory McQueen of Parish Transport on earning the TCA Education Award and leading with a real commitment to safer, smarter operations.”</p>
<h3><strong>A Year of Heavy Lifting in Education</strong></h3>
<p>According to TCA, McQueen completed 130 hours of on-demand education throughout 2025. That level of coursework reflects the same discipline drivers apply to mastering new equipment, regulations, and routes.</p>
<p>Her efforts included earning the full “trifecta” of TCA professional certificates.<br />
TCA Recruitment Certificate<br />
TCA Retention Certificate<br />
TCA Human Resources Certificate</p>
<p>Together, these credentials cover the full driver lifecycle, from hiring and onboarding to long-term retention and compliance. That combination helps carriers build programs that respect drivers’ time, improve communication, and reduce costly turnover.</p>
<h3><strong>Recognition from Industry Leadership</strong></h3>
<p>“This is the very first year we’re presenting the TCA Education Award, and I couldn’t be more excited about recognizing such a deserving recipient,” said Tracy Rushing, executive director, safety and HR, RE Garrison, and chairperson, TCA’s Retention, Recruitment and Human Resources Committee. “What makes this special is their real commitment to lifelong learning, not just for themselves, but for the people they support every day. When we invest in education, we directly improve the driving job, and that’s exactly what this award is meant to celebrate.”</p>
<p>TCA also emphasized the broader value of McQueen’s achievement, noting that her approach to education provides a model for how carriers can improve operations, driver satisfaction, and workplace culture through structured learning.</p>
<h4><strong>Honored at the TCA Annual Convention</strong></h4>
<p>McQueen will be formally recognized during the Recruitment, Retention, and HR Committee Meeting on March 1 at the TCA Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida.</p>
<p>For drivers, awards like this signal an industry shift toward better-trained support teams, clearer policies, and stronger carrier leadership. When the people managing compliance and HR invest in education, drivers benefit through safer operations, more consistent standards, and a more professional work environment across the fleet.</p>
