Nearly every aspect of daily life depends on goods and resources delivered by truck drivers. If you bought it, a trucker likely brought it. In fact, 70.5% of food transportation in the United States is done via truck.

As a veteran-owned company, we are proud to be one of the best trucking companies for veterans and military members and are honored to have veterans and blue-star families amongst our ranks. We understand the value of veteran service and work ethic and strive to honor our veteran drivers year-round.

Maybe you’ve heard DAB mentioned in a fleet message or a social media post. Maybe you’ve asked yourself or someone else – what the heck is DAB? Wonder no longer, we are here to discuss the DAB – or the Driver Advisory Board.
