Stevens Transport is proud to announce Cory Troxell has been selected as a Top 5 Finalist for this year’s 2024 Transition Trucking Driving for Excellence Award!
Launched in 2016, the program is part of an overall plan to promote careers in the transportation industry to transitioning military Veterans, National Guard members, and Reservists.
Stevens is honored to have Cory Troxell nominated as a finalist in this year’s competition. Cory was born into service in Fort Hood, TX Motivated by a strong sense of family pride, service, and patriotism following the events of 9/11, Cory enlisted into the Army in 2004 immediately following high school. In 2009, while on his second combat tour in Iraq (Mosul), he was severely wounded in an enemy IED attack eventually earning him the Purple Heart. Throughout his distinguished career, Cory served in many of the Army’s most legendary and travelled armor battalions and cavalry squadrons, both stateside and abroad. His operational assignments include two tours of duty in Iraq, Korea, and Kuwait. Fortunately, and to his credit, he was able to recover from his injuries enough to continue his active-duty career until his retirement in 2024.
Upon retiring from the Army in 2024, the decision to transition into trucking was an obvious one. Drawing similarities to his decision to join the Army, he followed a career path already cut by his family. His father is a current driver for Walmart and his uncle drives for Sigma. To continue the family cycle of service, his son Cory currently serves on active duty with the US Army.
The finalists will gather in Washington DC on December 13th at the US Chamber of Commerce where the winner will be selected. The grand prize is a fully loaded Kenworth T680 Signature Edition truck. Let’s help Cory continue his dream of becoming a proud business owner and taking the grand prize valued at over $160,000!
The voting begins November 1st and goes through November 11th! You can vote here!
Stevens Transport is proud to have Cory as a finalist for this prestigious reward! Please join us in congratulating Cory and thanking him for his service to our country and Stevens Transport.
