Connecticut truck driver Paul Brandon, aged 55, has been voted one of the country’s greatest truck drivers at the annual National Truck Driving Championships. He won in the contest’s 48-foot flatbed division.
According to his employer, Fedex, he has never had an accident, although he has driven over 1.1 million miles on every kind of rig which has ever been made. According to Brandon, his safety record is due to being vigilant at all times which includes never taking his eyes off the road and never taking his hands off the wheel.
Brandon has been driving flatbeds for the past 14 years in and around Connecticut. He says they’re unique among rigs as there is a lot of addition labor required on top of driving such as securing the load with chains or tarps.
