Take National Van Lines driver Newton Nerdon, for example. The Special Commodities Fleet driver had intended to head home to Florida, but something compelled him to remain at a Virginia truck stop to see whether he could pick up a load. He then got the call to transport ventilators from Alabama to New Jersey. Newton accomplished his mission and delivered 13 of these vital medical devices. And he’s more-than-ready to help again.
