Stephen Walz

Domicile: Aledo, TX

Stephen Walz brings over six years of driving experience to Nussbaum, along with a background that’s hard to top: he’s a retired Navy Chief. The discipline, structure, and ability to thrive far from home that the Navy demanded translate naturally to life on the road. Stephen came to trucking for the consistent work and pay it offers, and he’s ready to put his experience to work as an OTR driver. When he’s home, Stephen is a self-described home body who cherishes family time and church. Stephen would also like to share that he’s honest to a fault and also has never met a stranger. He says he will always to lend a listening ear or a helping hand. Welcome aboard, Stephen!

Brandon “Logan” Gray

Domicile: Nussbaum

Brandon “Logan” Gray has been driving for 6 years total. Driving big rigs was a childhood dream, and his time as a mechanic in the National Guard gave him hands-on knowledge of heavy equipment before he ever took the CDL test. Now he’s making that dream a reality as part of Nussbaum’s flatbed division. Off the road, Logan is a full-time parent of four, which keeps home time plenty busy. Logan’s go-to road snack is sunflower seeds. Make sure to ask Brandon about his love for dirty sodas. Logan would also like to share to never take him seriously outside of a serious conversation. The only thing he is serious about is having fun. Welcome aboard, Logan!

Zahquan “Zee” Geddes

Domicile: Union City, GA

After finishing school, Zee decided to follow in their tire tracks. Now seven months into his commercial driving career, he’s joining Nussbaum on the GE/CAT Georgia float. When he’s off the clock, Zee likes to shop and take time for himself. Zee’s go-to road snack is a solid tuna sandwhich. Zee shares that his communication style is very honest and he is introverted but once you get him out of his shell – he becomes like a comedian. Welcome aboard, Zee!
