Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Beyond the Truck, we sit down with Bruce Jones of G&D Trucking/Hoffman Transportation, the 2025–2026 NTTC Professional Tank Truck Driver of the Year Grand Champion—an honor recognizing exceptional safety, professionalism, leadership, and service to the tank truck industry.  

Bruce takes us behind the award to discuss the discipline, consistency, and culture that helped shape his journey. We explore what it felt like to receive the industry’s highest driver honor, the importance of setting meaningful goals, and how strong leadership and positive culture influence professional drivers both on and off the road.

Most importantly, Bruce shares what this recognition means for the next chapter of his life. Winning the title is not the final destination—it is another mile marker on a much greater journey of mentorship, service, and representing professional drivers across the country.

Join us as we celebrate an extraordinary achievement, learn from Bruce’s road to excellence, and discover what lies ahead for a true champion of the transportation industry.
