Celebrating Our 2025 Drivers of the Year

Written by TransForce | Feb 26, 2026

At TransForce, our drivers are at the heart of everything we do. Day in and day out, they show up, do the job the right way, and represent our company with professionalism, pride, and care. The Driver of the Month and Driver of the Year programs exist to recognize drivers who consistently raise the bar and set the standard for excellence.

These awards are not given lightly. They reflect a sustained commitment to safety, reliability, and service, and they honor drivers who go above and beyond not just once, but every day. From Driver of the Month recognition to Regional Driver of the Year and ultimately Company Wide Driver of the Year, each level represents an important achievement.

We are proud to recognize the drivers below for the impact they make, the example they set, and the dedication they bring to TransForce and the communities we serve.

Each month, one driver from each region is selected as Driver of the Month. These drivers receive a $100 bonus, a personalized certificate, a letter of appreciation from the TransForce President, and social media recognition. Driver of the Month recipients automatically become eligible for their region’s Driver of the Year award.

Regional Drivers of the Year receive a $500 bonus and recognition as top performing drivers in their region. From this group, one driver is selected as TransForce’s Company Wide Driver of the Year, the highest honor we award.

North Region Driver of the Year

Michael Wood

Michael has been with our team for over ten years and has consistently proven to be an invaluable asset. He is highly professional, safety focused, and respectful in all aspects of his work.

His reliability is truly exceptional. Michael has maintained perfect attendance and remains consistently engaged, checking in with us regularly each week. He is someone we can always count on.

In addition to his driving responsibilities, Michael has taken on a Trainer role at his client site, where he serves as a mentor for new drivers. He represents our organization with the highest standards of performance and professionalism.

We are extremely fortunate to have Michael on our team. His work ethic, attitude, and commitment to excellence set a standard that is difficult to match.

Central Region Driver of the Year

Stacy White

We are proud to nominate Stacy White as our 2025 Driver of the Year. Since joining TransForce in 2013, Stacy has consistently exemplified the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and reliability as a Class A driver.

For over a decade, Stacy has remained dedicated to the same client, Universal Logistics, where he has earned lasting trust through his consistent performance and strong work ethic. His long-term placement reflects the confidence our customer places in him every day.

Stacy maintains an excellent overall safety record and demonstrates unwavering commitment to compliance and responsible driving practices. His attendance and punctuality are exemplary, and customers regularly recognize him as an outstanding employee who goes above and beyond.

Beyond his individual performance, Stacy’s leadership positively impacts his branch and the Central Region as a whole. He represents TransForce with integrity and helps reinforce the culture of safety and accountability we strive to uphold.

South Region Driver of the Year

Bryan Clift

We are truly honored to nominate Bryan for this award, not just because of the work he does, but because of the person he is.

Bryan has been with TransForce since May 2019, and from the very beginning, he has carried himself with pride, humility, and dedication. He spent more than six years on our Customized account, where managers and dispatchers consistently shared how much they valued him.

What makes Bryan’s story even more meaningful is that driving runs in his family. His father was a truck driver, and Bryan has always admired the example he set. That connection shows in the way Bryan approaches his work with respect, loyalty, and purpose.

Bryan is the heart of the JAX team. He shows up, steps up, and leads by example. His commitment to safety, his willingness to help others, and the pride he takes in representing TransForce make a difference every day.

Satnam Bains consistently demonstrates excellence across all areas that define a top tier TransForce driver.

He maintains an outstanding safety record and consistently adheres to DOT regulations and company safety protocols. Satnam operates with a safety-first mindset that helps minimize risk and set the standard for others.

Satnam regularly receives positive feedback from customers for his professionalism, communication, and reliability. His dependability, positive attitude, and professional demeanor make him a trusted member of the operation.

Beyond his daily responsibilities, Satnam has made a meaningful impact in the region by setting a high standard for performance and accountability. He serves as a role model for newer drivers and contributes to overall operational success.

Company Wide Driver of the Year

From this group of Regional Drivers of the Year, one driver is selected as TransForce’s Company Wide Driver of the Year. This recognition represents the highest honor we award and reflects everything TransForce stands for: an unwavering commitment to safety, professionalism, reliability, and excellence.

The Company Wide Driver of the Year exemplifies what it means to represent TransForce at the highest level. This driver consistently goes above and beyond, sets the standard for others to follow, and demonstrates outstanding performance through leadership, integrity, and pride in their work.

In recognition of this achievement, the Company Wide Driver of the Year receives a $5,000 grand prize and is honored as the top performing driver across all regions.

We are proud to recognize Bryan Clift as the 2025 Company Wide Driver of the Year and celebrate the extraordinary impact he makes every day.
