"Reddaway drivers are among the nation's safest and most professional drivers. We honor our professional drivers as well as all of our hardworking employees who demonstrate teamwork at all levels to make sure every single shipment gets where it's going safely, on-time, and undamaged," said TJ O'Connor, Reddaway CEO and president. "We thank everyone at Reddaway for their focus on safety and giving their absolute best to make Reddaway the best in the West."

Eighty percent of U.S. communities depend solely on the trucking industry. Professional truck drivers keep this country moving.
