Collaboration Addresses Livestock Feed Concerns
Mesquite Championship Rodeo and Stevens Transport Assist North Carolina Hurricane Flood Victims
Stevens Transport recently demonstrated its commitment to community support by delivering an impressive 42,000 pounds of livestock feed to victims of flooding in North Carolina. This significant effort was made possible through a collaboration with the Mesquite Championship Rodeo. Stevens Transport Vice President of Operations, Smokey Adams, facilitated the cross-country delivery. Eric Cooper, a member of the Stevens Transport driving force since February 2023, delivered the livestock feed to South Carolina.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which left Western North Carolina devastated, Stevens Transport handled the logistics of the massive feed delivery. Rodeo officials mobilized to collect the vital supplies for the farmers and ranchers in need. Mesquite Police & Fire escorted Cooper and the truck through Texas to ensure the safe passage of the supplies to the Louisiana state line where he continued to the delivery destination in SC.
Through the partnership of Stevens Transport and the Mesquite Championship Rodeo, a significant difference was made in the lives of those affected by the flooding, reinforcing the importance of community and collaboration in times of crisis.
Texas governor Greg Abbott recognized these efforts with a letter of appreciation to Stevens Transport and the rodeo for their “profoundly positive impact farmers, ranchers, families and communities” by showcasing “the spirit of our state on a nationwide scale.”
