We’re celebrating four drivers who earned October’s Driver of the Month recognition. Each brings something different to the job, but they share a quality that matters on every assignment: their teams and customers know they can count on them.
West Region: Hector Vasquez
Hector Vasquez earned the West Region’s recognition for the consistency he brings to the job. His team highlighted his attention to safety, the care he takes in serving customers, and his willingness to step up when there’s work to be done.
Hector’s professionalism makes a difference in the day-to-day work of both TransForce and the customers he serves.
Central Region: Gary Tucker
Gary Tucker has spent 13 years with TransForce on assignment with MS Logistics, LLC. He started in long-haul trucking and now runs regional routes within 280 miles of Nashville.
Across both roles, Gary has built a strong record of safe driving. His team nominated him for the work ethic and attention to safety he brings to each run, backed by more than a decade of service.
South Region: Steve Lapham
Since joining TransForce in 2024, Steve Lapham has taken on flex assignments for customers across Greenville, South Carolina. Customers regularly praise him for showing up on time and doing the job professionally, and his team knows they can count on him when a new assignment comes up.
Away from the truck, Steve manages his own dairy farm.
North Region: Melvin Hawkins
Melvin Hawkins joined TransForce in September 2021 and has spent the past four years on assignment with Thomas Foods International. His team recognizes him for his excellent driving record and the warmth he brings to every conversation.
A quick check-in with Melvin can turn into half an hour of commiserating about Philly sports, which says as much about how easy he is to talk to as it does about the teams.
Congratulations to October’s Honorees
Congratulations, Hector, Gary, Steve, and Melvin! Thank you for the care you put into your work and for representing TransForce so well on the road.
