TOLEDO, Ohio - The American Trucking Association (ATA) has named K-Limited Carrier driver, W. Scott Harrison, to be a captain with ATA’s “America’s Road Team.” For the next two years he will serve on this elite team as a trucking industry ambassador, speaking about the life of an American truck driver, the important role trucking plays in the delivery of critical goods and the safety-first mentality held by professional truck drivers. The final round of the selection process for America’s Road Team was held January 8-10 in Arlington, Va. This opportunity is an incredible honor for Harrison. It took compiling millions of accident free miles, serving hundreds of hours in his community and articulating his passion for his career as a professional truck driver in order to be chosen by a panel of industry officials and trucking news media.
