Sung H Park

Tabitha Jackson

Domicile: Indianapolis, IN

Tabitha Jackson brings 4 years of driving experience to the team, having gotten into trucking thanks to a family member who’s been driving for more than 20 years. Before trucking, she worked in IT and as a drummer. She likes to read, play drums, relax, and research in her downtime. Her dream trips are the Bahamas and Switzerland, and her go-to road snack is a popsicle. A proud Tuskegee native, Tabitha is a great addition to the fleet. Welcome, Tabitha!

Josiah “Jay” Grisaffi

Domicile: Muskego, WI

Jay Grisaffi brings 5 years of driving experience to the team, and credits his wife with getting him into trucking. He describes his past work as “a little bit of this, a little bit of that.” When he’s not on the road, Jay spends time with family and listens to live bands. He dreams of a trip to Italy and enjoys Reese’s peanut butter cups along the way. Fun fact: his dream job is to be a tornado chaser (let’s hope he doesn’t get that experience at Nussbaum). Welcome, Jay!

Gary McAuley

Domicile: Nussbaum

Gary McAuley brings more than 10 years of driving experience to the team, drawn to trucking by the financial opportunity it offered. Before this, he ran a curbside hot dog cart. In his free time he enjoys family time, yard sales, beachcombing, and knocking out the honey-do list. He’d love to visit Northern Ireland (and Israel someday), and he keeps it simple on the road — no snacking, one meal a day (OMAD). Gary says he really enjoys meeting and learning about people’s lives and experiences. Welcome, Gary!
