New Hire Drivers
Eli Markel
Domicile: Ooltewah, TN
Eli Markel brings 9 months of driving experience to the team, having gotten into trucking through family and friends. Before hitting the road he worked as a mechanic, and he still enjoys working on vehicles and spending time with family and friends. He dreams of taking a trip to Japan. Eli keeps his favorite road snack, trail mix, close on hand while driving. Eli says he enjoys driving in general — and it shows. Welcome, Eli!

Curtis “Curt” Swartz
Domicile: Somerset, KY
Curtis “Curt” Swartz brings an impressive 13 years of driving experience to the team, drawn to trucking by the schedule freedom and the chance to sightsee — he’s a history enthusiast at heart. His background is anything but ordinary: he’s sung gospel music, piloted a river boat, flown airplanes, and hunted rattlesnakes (“the usual,” he says). Off the clock, Curt spends time with family or enjoys his hobbies solo, and figures any vacation is a good one as long as it’s planned. As Curt puts it, give him time to share and he’ll get to know you right back. Welcome, Curt!

Tyler Kelly
Domicile: Fair Play, SC
Tyler Kelly is a newer driver with about 6 months behind the wheel, and family is what brought him into trucking. His favorite way to spend time is playing with his son, and he dreams of a fishing trip on the water down in Florida. One of his most memorable hauls took him all the way to Washington — his first time that far north, taking in new sights on roads that definitely weren’t built for big trucks. Welcome, Tyler!
Most Interesting Load Hauled: A run out to Washington State
Dream Vacation: Fishing on a boat in Florida
Jessica Hill
Domicile: Union City, GA
Jessica Hill has been driving professionally since 2010 and running trucks since 2018, and she credits her husband with getting her into the industry. Her driving background runs deep — she’s driven a school bus, delivered mail, and handled non-emergency medical transport. When she’s not working, her focus is raising her son. She dreams of quiet time in a mountain cabin. Her favorite road snack has to be Gummy Life Savers. As Jessica says, “If it ain’t Biblical, it just ain’t Biblical.” Welcome, Jessica!
Most Interesting Load Hauled: A single item on a pallet that weighed less than the pallet itself — on a full 53′ trailer
Dream Vacation: Quiet time in a mountain cabin
Scott Glazer
Domicile: Ellabell, GA
Scott Glazer is a newer driver with about 9 months on the road, and trucking is something he’d always been interested in. Before this, he served on active duty in the Army for more than 20 years. Off the clock, Scott spends time with family, cheers on baseball, football, and hockey, and enjoys fishing, cooking, and being outdoors. He dreams of touring Europe and his favorite road snack is pretzels. Thank you for your service, Scott — welcome to the team!
