BigRigCentral.com's Trucker Spotlight is the place we enjoy sharing with our website visitors from around the world the lives of truckers out on the road.

We feel people in the transportation industry who help keep the truckers going should also be given a chance to be in the spotlight:

Truckers know if there are not good people out there providing behind the scenes support to them, their time out on the road can be a major headache.

If you have a trucker or a person in the transportation industry you want to surprise and honor by putting them in our Trucker Spotlight, we would love to share their stories with our visitors.

Drum Hike - A Soldier's Hike For Heroes  7000 Miles Across America For Military Families In Need

Iraqi War Veteran, SPC Troy Yocum, deserves to be in the Trucker Spotlight.

First for his service to help protect our country then for highlighting the dire conditions many present military families and veterans are facing as America fights for survival.

Banging his drum as he walks America, Troy is raising awareness and sounding the cause for $5 million dollars to help military families in need.

One important thought to keep in mind is that many male and female soldiers are driving the big rigs being used to win the war. 

Donations can be made at DrumHike.com

Money raised is being distributed to military familes through The Wish Upon A Hero Foundation

Operation Rodger - Truckers Pet Transport

BigRigCentral.com wanted to put Operation Rodger - Truckers Pet Transport in our Trucker's Spotlight for 2 Reasons

1. The organization, the group of volunteer truckers and layover teams all deserve to be recognized for bringing joy to hundreds of new pet owners and for especially bringing joy to animals most often destined to be destroyed.

2. We wanted our visitors to be aware of an organization that is set up to help transport animals across the state or country to their new owners. You may want to become a volunteer or know of someone who needs this help to adopt a pet.

Monte Huie

 Straight out of the army back in 1974, Monte Huie entered the transportation industry.

Today, as the Director of Maintenance for Perimeter Transportation, LLC in Memphis, Tennesssee, Monte can be found enjoying life down on his forty acre homestead located in Mississippi when he is not keeping the big rigs on the road.

We heard great things about Monte from a member of Perimeter's ownership group.

One of the highest compliments out there to BigRigcentral.com is when you hear a member of the ownership group of a company describe an employee as their "Go To" man in their absense.

Day to day decisions for a multi-million dollar operation are not made lightly and a person's ability to make these decisons is proved and earned by producing positive results.
