National Truck Driver of the Year Award * USA - William Gray, from Cumberland earns
Coast-To-Coast Success
Cumberland,MD,USA -The Cumberland Times-News, by Michael A. Sawyers -November 12, 2007: -- With 3.9 million miles on the road, accident-free by the way, William Gray has seen the sun rise and set on countless horizons. His view is always from a moving position... Gray has stopped for free-ranging cattle that decided they wanted to cross an interstate highway. He's been stopped by authorities checking for illegal immigrants aboard his tractor-trailer. He's driven in every state in the country except for the two that aren't attached to the other 48... Gray has had to pull his 18-wheeler to the side of the berm and immediately seek medical assistance. He's watched lightning bolts strike the highway surface in front of his semi. He knows that when he see clouds on a certain mountain in New Mexico that he can anticipate snow on the interstate that lies ahead... It's the life of a trucker and he loves it ... has loved it for the 28 years he has been eastbound and down. Ditto for westbound, northbound and southbound...
