Professional driver, Walter Lee, of El Cajon, CA was recently named November Driver of the Month for National Carriers, Inc (NCI). Lee has driven with the “Elite” Fleet since October 2014 and focuses on freight in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. His award included a bonus of $1000 and makes him eligible to win NCI’s 2020 Driver of the Year and $10,000 prize.

“I chose NCI for a couple reasons, said Lee. “First, our equipment maintenance is the best in the industry, and in a close second, I saw fewer National trucks sitting around truck stops waiting for loads than most other companies. NCI has longevity, financial security, and knows drivers by name most of the time; we are not treated like a truck number.”

“When I hired on, I was looking for a company that could get me a paycheck I’m not embarrassed of, get me home regularly, and never lose sight of the fact we have a life outside the truck. I wanted to live life, not just survive.”

“Why do I stay? Because I learned very early on that NCI follows the golden rule: do unto others what you have them to do to you. It’s not written anywhere that I’ve seen, but they live it out. After 26 years and more than 2.5 million miles of trucking, NCI treats me like I expect to be treated.”
