Redvay’s Driver Development Manager also had a few things to share about Keith and his recent award:
“I am very pleased to have Gordon “Keith” Redvay recognized as the TCA Rookie of the year. Keith’s transition to the trucking industry from the military has been seamless. At Crete Carrier we take pride in providing top notch training for individuals starting a new career as an over the road driver. The skills and training that Keith received while in the military has allowed him to be successful in Crete’s training program and now in the trucking industry. Keith’s service and skills have also been recognized by the Crete Carrier Patriot Fleet. Keith is one of the 5 drivers of the Patriot Fleet that transport freight around the United States thanking our service men and women for a job well done. Keith is an exceptional representative of Crete Carrier, the Military, and the Trucking’s top rookie honor,” says Jeff Dady, Driver Development Manager at Crete Carrier Corporation.

The Trucking’s Top Rookie contest was created to highlight the opportunities in the truck driving jobs profession and promote the truck driving career choice during a severe shortage of drivers. Carriers were asked to nominate their top rookie who had graduated from a PTDI certified, or NAPFTDS- or CVTA-member driver training school within the past year and had been employed by their trucking company for less than one year. Nominees were judged on their safety performance, customer service and achievements within their organization.
