CENTERLINE DRIVERS NAMES JOEL LAWSON AS THE 2022 DRIVER OF THE YEAR

March 1, 2023 Casey Nighbor

Joel Lawson is Centerline Drivers’ 2022 Driver of the Year. This is the second
year Centerline has awarded the honor as part of its Respect the Drive program,
which celebrates the incredible work truck drivers do every day.

Joel is a Baltimore native who has driven over 3 million miles in his 20 years
as a truck driver, with no DOT accidents or incidents.

He is a proud Army veteran who served our country in Desert Storm and began
serving with the National Guard after his discharge.

Joel is a hard-working person who describes himself as a “family man” spending
most of his free time “being a husband and father.“

His dedication to his family is evident most when he recalls an accident that
occurred right before he became a truck driver. A fire broke out in their
apartment and Joel was able to quickly get his wife and family to safety.
However, due to the amount of times Joel re-entered the burning building, he
suffered from smoke inhalation and severe burns on his hand. He says the scars
are a “life-long reminder of how precious his family is to him.”

He drives for Standard Logistics in Baltimore and has done so for almost 15
years. He enjoys working with his team and often mentors newer drivers.

The award comes with a trophy, Respect the Drive gear and a $5000 bonus as well
as recognition from both Centerline and Standard Logistics.

Throughout 2023, Centerline will continue to encourage people to Respect the
Drive by illustrating the positive things truck drivers do every day and
celebrating our drivers and the industry.

“Joel embodies what it means to be an outstanding Centerline Driver,'” said
Centerline Drivers President Jill Quinn. “Not only has he driven over 3 million
miles safely, but he’s a hero in multiple respects. I’m so proud that he’s our
2022 Driver of the Year”

Filiberto Balan and Steven Jankovsky earned runner-up stats and will also
receive Respect the Drive Gear.
