January STRIVEr: Derek Rich
Our January STRIVEr caught the attention of a customer with his impressive trailer backing skills.

2022 STRIVEr of the Year: Brian Weeber
When we define the Stutsman difference it always comes back to the experience our employees create by going above and beyond, and the core values that drive how we serve customers, the community and fellow employees. Each month we celebrate those employees who fully embrace these Stutsman core values through the STRIVEr program. These monthly STRIVEr winners then become finalists for the STRIVEr of the Year and are voted upon by fellow employees at the completion of our fiscal year. Our 2022 STRIVEr of the Year went the extra mile and set the bar higher to help a stranded driver. We are excited to announce Brian Weeber, truck shop foreman, as the 2022 STRIVEr of the Year.More
