DRIVERS MONTH of the
MARCH
DAVID EVERHART David joined Big G in June 2020; his first OTR driving job was in 1992 with HO Wolding. He has spent most of his time pulling reefers, but he also likes the dry van. One memory that sticks out was a trip out West, topping one of the mountains and being above the clouds. When not trucking, he likes to do yard work and spend time on his Harley. He lives in Seffner, Florida, with his wife of 17 years. His advice for new drivers is to make sure you drop your trailer at the correct height and the landing gears are properly supported; this will make it easier for the next driver. GARY CLARK Gary started with Big G in January 2020; he started trucking in 1990 with a cartage company from Indiana. He ran local until he joined Big G and has really enjoyed seeing other parts of the country. He also spent some time as a driver trainer and enjoyed teaching new drivers. On his weekends, he likes to fish and try to catch more than his wife does. He lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, with his wife of 28 years, Michelle. His advice for a new driver is to get with a company that is growing and make it a career and not just a paycheck. MIKE KRIZANOVIC Mike started driving for Big G in October 2021; his first driving job was with BNE back in 1987. Thinking back over his career, one memory that sticks out was the first trip that his wife rode with him. She said the cab was too cold for her. He likes to spend his weekends at his local church, riding his motorcycle, or watching dirt track racing. He lives in Whitwell, Tennessee, with his wife of 37 years and two grandkids. His advice for new drivers is to just pay attention to everything around you and never stop learning. SAMMIE AMOS Sammie has been with Big G since August 2018; he started trucking with Swift Transportation in 1999. He was raised in the lowlands of South Carolina, and the first time he saw the mountains from the cab of a truck, he was very surprised. He always thought South Carolina was flat. When not driving, he likes to turn wrenches and work on cars. He lives in Florence, SC, with his wife of 23 years, Gloria. His advice for new drivers is to take your time, ask questions, and always get out and look at your surroundings. JAMIE BRABHAM Jamie started with Big G in July 2019; he started his trucking career with Werner Enterprises in 1998. Looking back, being an OTR driver allowed him to visit Nashville. His love for country music expanded from that time, so he moved from Florida to Tennessee. This move allowed him to advance his music career. He took a local driving job to allow more time for music. When not driving a truck, he enjoys performing country music and going to car shows with his Mustangs. He lives in Murfreesboro with his No. 1 fan, Mary, and they have been together for 12 years. His advice to new drivers is to follow your dreams, enjoy life, and take opportunities as they come. SHAWN MCLAUGHLIN Shawn joined the Big G team in July 2021; he started trucking with Werner in 2007 after retiring from the USAF. One of his fondest memories of trucking was the time spent with his son in the truck with him. On the weekends, he enjoys watching NASCAR. He lives in Andalusia, Alabama, with his wife of 33 years, Susan. His advice for a new driver is to don’t let anyone rush you; most mistakes happen when someone gets in a hurry.
