YRC Freight driver Bill Krouse has been selected by the American
Trucking Associations (ATA) to serve as a Road Team Captain on
their 2017-2018 America’s Road Team.
The America’s Road Team is a national public outreach program
dedicated to advocating highway safety and promoting the trucking
industry. Road Team Captains travel the country engaging with
motorists, news media and public officials to share the industry’s
message of “safety, essentiality and sustainability.” Captains
serve for two years and are selected based on their exceptional
driving skills, exemplary safety records and passion for trucking
advocacy.
YRC Freight President Darren Hawkins said he was proud to have
the company represented by a long-time safe driver like Krouse.
“Bill Krouse is an outstanding representative for everything our
company stands for,” Hawkins said. “He puts his own safety and the
safety of the motoring public at the top of his priorities, and his
safe driving record speaks to that. He is a top-notch driver and we
are proud of his accomplishments.”
Krouse is a 32-year veteran of YRC Freight, and recently
surpassed 2 million miles safely driven during his career. He has
participated in the Minnesota State Truck Driving Championship more
than a dozen times, 11 of those finishing in the top 3 in his
category. Krouse was named the Minnesota Driver of the Year in 2014
and the Minnesota Grand Champion in 2015. A third-generation
driver, Krouse says he focuses on delivering quality customer
service every day and credits his passion for continuous safety
improvements on the nation’s highways as his motivation for being
part of the Road Team.
America’s Road Team was founded in 1986 and continues with the
support of Volvo Trucks.
