We wanted to share an update from Brandon Meredith, the 2023 Transition Trucking: Driving for Excellence Award Winner. Brandon said, "Things are going well. It took about a month to get the truck all ready. Now Cobra Six Transport LLC is up and running, leased on to Slay Transportation. Hope all is well with your crew! I have made a few trips to a customer in Illinois and passed by Chillicothe, OH every time. It still feels like a dream..... ". Fastport, Kenworth, and Hiring Our Heroes are honored to be a part of this prestigious award and are grateful for the Veterans who serve our Country. We look forward to sharing some great new information about the 2024 contest shortly.
