Bill McNamee: A Lifetime of Service From the Front Lines to the Open Road

Send us a text

Bill McNamee’s story is one of uncommon dedication. He served this nation not once, but twice  both in the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps. When his military career came to an end, his service didn’t. Bill traded the uniform of battle for the uniform of a professional driver, and he’s been serving America ever since this time, on our nation’s highways.

Bill embodies what it means to be a professional driver: discipline, courage, and purpose. His rig might not have armor plating anymore, but his mission remains the same to protect, provide, and persevere.

Bill has earned every ounce of respect the industry has for him. He’s an America’s Road Team Captain, representing the highest standard of safety, professionalism, and leadership behind the wheel.

He’s also been honored in a way few drivers ever are a TravelCenters of America named an entire location after him. That’s not just recognition; that’s legacy. It’s a testament to the way Bill shows up  for his company, for his community, and for every driver who shares the road with him.

Even off the road, Bill keeps giving back. He serves in his local volunteer rescue squad, and he mentors young people through the Trucker Buddy program inspiring the next generation to see trucking as not just a job, but a calling.

Bill lives the creed that service doesn’t stop when the uniform comes off it transforms. From foreign soils to America’s highways, he continues to drive with purpose, passion, and pride. THANK YOU BILL!!
