National Carriers, Inc. recently announced Perry Williams as its 2024 Driver of the Year.
Williams, an owner-operator in the Reefer 48 state division with more than two decades of service to the company, exemplifies the excellence and dedication that has made NCI an industry leader, according to a statement from the company.
Williams received a trophy and $10,000.
Since joining National Carriers in June 2003, Williams has established himself as a versatile professional, operating across multiple divisions including livestock, regional boxed beef, local flatbed, tallow, and hides. Throughout his career with NCI, Williams has logged 2 million safe miles.
Williams’ recent accolades include being named Driver of the Month for the state of Kansas in 2023 and receiving NCI’s Driver of the Month award in May 2024. He has also served as a company ambassador at National Beef’s corporate office in Kansas City, Missouri.
“What makes Perry so valuable is he is always up for a challenge no matter how bad or good it is. He understands the industry with its highs and lows. He always says ‘that’s trucking,'” said Jason Greer, NCI's director of Livestock. “The fact is, you can give him a task and walk away knowing he will do everything in his power to get it done the right way and if not, he lets everyone know what he needs to get it done.”
Greer attributes Williams’ exceptional work ethic to his father’s influence. “His father was all about customer service as he worked in the food industry by helping to get a famous West Coast favorite eatery to where it is today. From the way you looked, dressed, and communicated at the job. Perry still holds true to his father’s core values.”
Williams’ professionalism, superior communication skills, and positive attitude have earned him the distinction of being truly “Elite” in the transportation industry. His willingness to help and dedication to excellence make him an invaluable member of the National Carriers team, the company said.
