In recognition of their outstanding performance, National Carriers, Inc. (NCI) has proudly named Randy and Darci Wickman as the Drivers of the Month for July 2023. Residing along the I-35 interstate corridor in Blackwell, Oklahoma, the Wickmans have proven their dedication to their craft by always going above and beyond.
“What is the best thing about team driving with my wife? Most folks only get to spend limited time with their mate. We get to see each other 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We never run out of things to talk about. We always have something to communicate about, always entertaining each other," shared Randy Wickman.
For their achievements, the Wickmans received a one-thousand-dollar bonus, and they now stand eligible for the prestigious title of 2023 Driver of the Year. This coveted award, accompanied by an additional $10,000 bonus, will be presented at a banquet in the coming year.
Darci pointed out, "Being together allows us to see the best and the worst of each other. There is no getting away so we must talk through whatever is bothering us. Our family, back home, does not understand life on the road, only those on the road do. We are not sightseeing. When we are driving, we are working.”
With six years of experience, Randy's journey with National Carriers commenced when Darci joined through the company's paid training initiative. Embarking on their team driving venture post Darci's training, they've found immense satisfaction in this lifestyle, embracing the allure of waking up to a fresh "porch view" every morning.
Teresa Henshaw, Operations Manager, applauded the Wickmans, stating: “ Darci and Randy are a go to team. They are always willing to go the extra mile to try to ensure on-time delivery. They are willing to switch loads last minute, relay a load running behind, or move trailers around to ensure our customers have trailers to load. They are an asset to National Carriers and are truly appreciated for all they do.”
