He’s been a driver for over 31 years and has seen the increase in traffic over the years on our Oregon roads, specifically in Portland. During the show, he touched on the balance between environmental concerns, budgeting for new projects, the value of people’s time, importance of safety in our industry, and what the Truck Driving Championships are all about.
