Joseph Chris White
1st Place Company Driver of the Month
Congratulations to Chris White, our June Company Driver of the Month! Chris came to Stevens Transport in November 2006. He is no stranger to awards and accolades over his incredible career! Chris is also a part of the very prestigious 2 Million Milers in the Stevens Transport Haul of Fame! Chris obtained his CDL from CDL Miami and notes if he could do it all over again, it would be 100% Stevens Transport all the way! Always wanting to go to California, the birthplace of car racing, it was his first destination, a big treat and kicked off his career! Becoming a driver was an easy decision. Chris grew up watching his dad, a race car driver, race for many years and was motivated to get his CDL to haul dragsters to races across the country! For new drivers, Chris encourages all to have patience as it has been the most important quality for him. He is thankful for all the friendships he has made over the years and being able to do what he loves! When off the road, Chris is a musician and loves playing rock and roll and the blues.
