RELATED NEWS: I Luv My Trucker: Meet some well-loved truckers
We earlier posted a number of trucker nominees in our event, and more will come later this week. Afterward, we'll select five to receive Subway gift cards as a modest appreciation and so they can have lunch on us one day on the road.
And, thanks to all the folks who took time to tell us about the truckers they love. Here are more of those well-loved truck drivers:
Type of Driver: Company driver for Articulate Engineer
Nominated By: Darlene Allison, fiance
Why They Luv Their Trucker: "Handsom, honest, loving ❤ A responsible 36 year-plus veteran who's seen it all and helps others all the time."
Type of Driver: Owner/operator for ALP Transportation LLC
Nominated By: Elena Prasolov, wife
Why They Luv Their Trucker: "I love my trucker because he is responsible, hard-working, punctual, fixes most issues when they arise with truck and trailer, therefore saves money on service, towing, etc. He knows how to use ELD. He is pretty much independent and never asks for help when it comes to parking, or finding shop etc. He works hard to provide for family of 5. He is over the road for a long period of time but is eager to always get back home to spend time with the family. He is selfless and always looking (out for the) interests of others. We always say a prayer for him while he is over the road. Even though he was involved in two semi-truck accidents within the past year, when other semi drivers hit him. He is back on the road and doesn't have fear of poor weather conditions or other irresponsible drivers over the road."

Why They Luv Their Trucker: I love my trucker because he is a very hard worker. He is determined, goal-oriented, and influential. ANYTHING he sets his mind to, he achieves it no matter how many hurdles he has to jump over. His “by any means necessary” lifestyle is very encouraging to me and those around him. My trucker sets the standard for what all men should strive to be like.

Type of Driver: Owner/operator with BW Mitchum
Nominated By: Thelma Sanders, wife
Why They Luv Their Trucker: "I NOT only love my trucker but I honor, respect, and again love my trucker. Demond is not only a professional owner/operator but a great father and stepfather to his kids. Demond is the type of man who would take a week off of work to make sure he's home to drive his stepdaughter to Missouri for her first year of college. He's also the type of man who would do anything for you. Demond is my heart, and when the world says where are all the good men at I can truly say God gave me one. I honor you, love you, an so proud of you. Demond, I love you."
Nominated Trucker: Byron Knox
Type of Driver: Company driver for Planet Logistics
Why They Luv Their Trucker: "I love my trucker because he is a very hard and dedicated worker. His appearance when working is always one that any owner or manager would appreciate. I love the fact that he is not just a driver but he makes sure that he represents his company well by keeping his truck clean and neat. He is also familiar with maintenance on the truck because he previously was a shop manager at a very large truck stop. Things that he can fix he will fix. Also, his paperwork is always neat and in order. He is an awesome guy and will lend a hand to any other truck driver that may need his help. He considers other truckers his trucking family. But most of all he is one that makes sure whatever he does is always done to the best of his ability."

Why They Luv Their Trucker: "My husband and I have teamed together going on 14 years. We live in our truck. If you can live together in a truck and love each other you have got something great (And, boy, do I!) This man has my back at all times. He tells anyone that will listen how much he loves me and how I am the best thing that ever happened to him. I think the same thing about him. He is the most loving and giving man. I’m the luckiest woman alive just to share my life with him."
