In our second interview with Daniel Doss for our special series on Transition Trucking’s Driving For Excellence Award, we look back on the past couple of years and his journey into trucking. In September, Daniel was selected as a finalist for Transition Trucking’s Driving For Excellence Award. As he shares with us, Daniel had to do more than earn a CDL and find a position with Melton Truck Lines to put himself in position to become part of this year’s Final Five.

Joined for this interview by his wife, Brandy, Daniel looks back at his final year in the Air Force when he began to have unexplained anxiety attacks following a special training for a deployment. Daniel made it through the deployment and decided to retire from military service as he began to deal with what had become depression and anxiety. After working with medical professionals and getting the treatment he needed, Daniel found the trucking industry to be a great fit for his next profession following his military service.
