After an honorable discharge as a lance corporal in 2010, Bacon worked as an automotive technician and service advisor before deciding to fulfill his dream of becoming a truck driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have trucking in my blood,\u201d Bacon said. \u201cMy grandfather provided a good living for his family as a truck driver and my great grandfather was an original member of the Teamsters in the early 1900s, driving a horse and buggy to make a living.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This St. Louis native utilized his GI Bill to obtain his Class A CDL license from MTC Truck Driver Training in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI take great pride in having been in the Marine Corps and having the opportunity to serve my country. Even though I\u2019ve been out of the service a few years now I always represent as if I were still in.

This on-the-job training program earned the Manitowoc Company the \u201cLarge Employer of the Year\u201d award from both the American Legion and Wisconsin Disabled Veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, Bumgarner completed Veriha Trucking\u2019s apprentice program.

He completed his first year of employment accident free, completed the first year of a two-year apprenticeship program, is training to become a certified trainer, and is a member of the Driver Advisory Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI chose trucking as a career path because it made me feel like I am still a part of something larger than myself,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cTrucking has allowed me to see the true beauty of the United States and has allowed me to meet incredible individuals from all over the nation that I took an oath to defend even with the ultimate sacrifice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kevin Nixon, president of the Flatbed Division at Roehl Transport, nominated Campbell for this honor because of Campbell\u2019s work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHis first year has been highlighted by no preventable accidents, flawless service, and consistent availability to his customers,\u201d Nixon said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3764 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Stevens-Transport-Steve-Harris-244x300.jpg\" alt=\"Since starting at Stevens and as a solo driver, Steve Harris, a 2019 Transition Trucking award finalist, has averaged more than 10,000 miles per month.\" width=\"244\" height=\"300\">Steve Harris<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stevens Transport <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>U.S. Marine Corps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After graduating from high school, Steve Harris attended the Army Mountain Warfare School in Vermont.
