Listen to this episode for more details on the great work the sales team is doing.
The VeteranThe trucking industry has gone through many changes since the ’70s and Jeff has lived through them all. As a driver, Jeff is always looking to learn and find ways to drive better. As an instructor, he enjoys being able to help other drivers learn the trade and reach their full potential.
Beyond the Driver’s SeatWhen he’s not behind the wheel, Jeff has been known to post some pretty good numbers in the bowling alley. Or you might even catch him with his wife checking out some quality antiques at the local auctions.
“We both really enjoy going to different auctions and restoring things to bring back their original beauty.”
