Three drivers from two units of Overland Park-based YRC Worldwide Inc. have been selected to the America’s Road Team by the American Trucking Associations.
The association selected 16 drivers as “captains” from a group of million-mile, accident free professional truck drivers. The drivers, selected during a competition among 35 drivers, will spend the next two years representing the industry and delivering safety messages to the public.
Among those selected: Steve Fields, a Yellow Transportation driver who lives in Independence; and Roadway drivers William Kent Durant of Cheney, Kan., and Richard Scholl of Irondale, Ohio.
“The captains of America’s Road Team represent the very best of our professional drivers and serve as goodwill ambassadors in advancing the image of trucking,” Bill Graves, ATA president and CEO, said in a statement. Graves is the former governor of Kansas.
