Matt Anderson: An All-Star Behind the Wheel

Description

In a fleet that hauls heavy, the most valuable quality isn't speed. It's knowing exactly what someone will do when things go sideways.

That's Matt Anderson, who they call the Steady Hand. A million safe miles, two Driver of the Month awards, and a description that's all about temperament: calm in chaos, sharp under pressure, from the first gear to the final dump. Every mile, every load, every time.

"Final dump" places him in the bulk and hopper operation — the fleet running 118,000 to 129,000 pounds through mountain country. That environment is exactly where calm is a technical skill rather than a personality trait. Heavy weight on a grade in bad weather punishes hesitation and overreaction equally, which is presumably how you accumulate a million safe miles doing it.

Matt runs with Robbie Howell, Brandon Killian, Brooke Casper, Todd Pharis, and Garett Conner on the A-Team. Open positions · Apply · (800) 336-1034
