Elite 11’s Monica Brooks-Buck Makes A Smooth Shift Into Trucking
September 12, 2026

Monica Brooks-Buck is center stage for the next installment of our special series that is celebrating the Elite 11 honorees who are part of Transition Trucking’s Driving For Excellence Award this year. Over the course of our conversation, you’ll learn how Monica’s idea to join her husband, Johnny, aboard his Werner Enterprises truck as an authorized passenger became an opportunity for Monica to obtain her CDL.

Welcoming the challenge of starting a new career after 25 years of service in the U.S. Army Logistics as a Supply Specialist, Monica used her past experience to inform her future. With the ability to incorporate the essential discipline, customer service experience and leadership skills gained while in the Army into her day-to-day routine in trucking, Monica views her role as a professional driver as a continued form of service to her country.
