About Shaun

What’s he driving?

He currently drives a 2016 Freightliner Evolution.

His favorite thing about being a professional truck driver

Shaun says, “I like to travel; my Dad was a traveling salesman and I enjoy the lifestyle of being on the road. I like being able to be my own boss. As long as I do what I’m supposed to do — deliver the load on time — then I get to make my own decisions.”

About Shaun’s family

Shaun will have been married to his wife Jodie for 30 years as of this June. They have two girls, Ashley and Courtney, and one grandchild, Lincoln James.

Hobbies

When he’s not driving a truck, Shaun is an avid fisherman and also enjoys spending time on the golf course.

Fuel Tip

Shaun says, “The secret to good fuel efficiency is keeping your speed down, never speed. I spend a lot of drive time at 60 miles per hour.”
