Holland Driver Herschel Evans Receives TravelCenters of America 2020 Citizen Driver Award
June 10 2020 - 10:28AM
(NASDAQ: YRCW) Holland driver Herschel Evans has been honored as
one of this year’s TravelCenters of America Citizen Driver Award
winners. The Citizen Driver Award recognizes professional drivers
who demonstrate traits that elevate respect in the truck driving
profession, including good citizenship, safety, health and
wellness, community involvement and leadership.
“Herschel Evans has been setting the standard not only for all
professional drivers but also for his focus on helping others in
need,” said Darren Hawkins, YRCW CEO. “We are so proud to have
Herschel represent YRC Worldwide Companies and congratulate him on
this well-deserved recognition.”
As part of the honor, winners may select a TA, Petro Stopping
Center or TA Express location to be dedicated in their name, and TA
will make a $2,500 donation to each winner’s charity of
choice. Evans selected the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation as his
charitable donation recipient, and the Petro station in Atlanta
will be dedicated in his name.
“This accomplishment would not be possible without the support
I’ve received from everyone at YRCW over the years,” said Herschel
Evans, Holland driver. “In receiving the Citizen Driver Award, I’m
grateful to have been allowed so many opportunities to serve our
community through trucking, thanks to YRCW.”
In 2011, Evans took over an intercompany truck driving
championship and transformed it into the Safety Drive for a Cure,
and he’s been involved for 33 years with Atlanta Ride for Kids, a
nationwide motorcycle charity ride – both of which benefit the
Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Evans has received the 2018
Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance International Driver Excellence
Award, and in 2013 the American Trucking Association honored him as
an America’s Road Team Captain. In 2017, he was presented with the
Mike Russell Trucking Image Award for representing the industry
through his role as an America’s Road Team Captain. Evans is also
very involved in volunteering for Convoy of Care.
In addition to operating as a City P&D driver, Evans serves
as a trainer for Holland, ensuring all new hires begin their career
with a strong focus on safety and service. Over the course of his
32-year driving career, he’s logged 3.1 million accident-free miles
– a tremendous industry accomplishment.
This is the seventh annual recognition of the Citizen Driver
Award, and TravelCenters only chose two drivers for 2020. In 2017,
YRC Freight driver Jim Wilcox received the Citizen Driver
Award.
