Moore Named to America’s Road Team

Congratulations to HST Line Driver James Moore who was one of 20 captains named to ATA’s 2017-2018 America’s Road Team earlier this month.

HST Line Driver James Moore was selected to be one of 20 captains on the American Trucking Associations’ (ATA) 2017-2018 America’s Road Team, an “elite group of professionals who serve as trucking industry ambassadors.” He began his career at the company in 1997.

The announcement was made after the final round of the selection process, which was held January 8-10 in Arlington, VA. A panel of industry officials and trucking news media judged the finalists on their knowledge of the trucking industry, dedication to safety, ability to communicate the industry’s messages and overall safe driving record.

Over the next couple of years, the team captains, as they are called, will tour North America in ATA’s Interstate One Image Truck, an American flag emblazoned Volvo featuring a truck driving simulator.

Over the next couple of years, the team captains, as they are called, will tour North America in ATA’s Interstate One Image Truck, an American flag emblazoned Volvo featuring a truck driving simulator. The captains, who will continue their work as full-time truck drivers at their respective carriers, will, according to the ATA, “speak candidly about the life of an American truck driver, the important role trucking plays in the delivery of critical goods and the safety-first mentality held by all professional truck drivers.”

Congratulations James! We are all very proud and excited for you!
