Professional Truck Driver Named Rand McNally Navigator of the Year - MarketWatch (press release)
Crumer, an owner operator who works for Allied Van Lines, was selected among thousands of applicants for his impressive hauls, professionalism, self-navigation ability, and uniqueness of story. As part of his award, Crumer will receive $25,000, presented by Navigator of the Year sponsor, NAVTEQ, the leading global provider of digital maps, traffic and location content. The tour, designed to say "thank you" to the professional drivers who keep America moving, featured two trucks with custom-built trailers that visited Travel centers from coast-to-coast. It was a difficult decision to select just one Navigator of the Year as we had many great entries. Louis, won the competition in part due to his story recounting his most difficult haul this past year. With chains on his truck and trailer, it took 48 hours for the road to open up. There was one strip of highway just wide enough for one truck to drive through. The snow was piled so high on either side of the truck that our view out of the cab on either side was a wall of snow," explained Crumer. Crumer also noted in his entry into the Navigator of the Year contest that he enjoys being a professional driver because he is "his own boss" and gets the opportunity to see the country and meet people coast-to-coast. For anyone wondering how difficult yet rewarding truck driving can be, thousands of stories were collected as part of the 2011 Navigator of the Year program. Many of these stories will be posted on http://MovingAmerica.
