Meet the Doug Andrus A-Team
Description
When the road gets long and the job leaves no room for mistakes, you send the team you trust. These are the six.
Garett Conner — the Future Star. Fresh out of training, A+ safety rating, no wasted time. Brandon Killian — the Professional. Top earner companywide in 2024, a million safe miles, clean truck, sharp mustache, sharper standards. Robert Howell — the Legend. That kind of name gets earned: 2021 North American Driver of the Year, millions of safe miles, in it for the long haul. Brooke Casper — the Ghost. 2.5 million safe miles, quiet grit, heavy loads, gone until the job is done. Matt Anderson — the Steady Hand. A million safe miles, two-time Driver of the Month, calm in the chaos. Todd Pharis — the Workhorse. 27 years with the company, 3.5 million safe miles, still pulling hard.
What makes the group interesting is the span. Garett had been driving a matter of months; Todd has been here longer than some of his colleagues have been alive. Between them they represent well over thirteen million safe miles. It's a decent illustration of the argument in the training video — that where you train determines whether you're at the start of a career or just a job.
