Philip Burge knows how to roll—whether it’s making people laugh on stage or keeping wheels turning in driveaway.

In this special holiday edition of the Six Figure Trucker, we want to wish all of our drivers a Merry Christmas and highlight one that truly embodied the reason for the season this year. We’re honored to briefly recount how one of our selfless drivers risked his life to pull two young women out of a burning vehicle and save their lives. For his heroic efforts, Rodney Clay was named a Truckload Carriers Association’s Highway Angel.
This is another example of the many drivers we seek to elevate and celebrate because, quite frankly, they deserve it. We’re honored to bring their stories to light. So, to every truck driver tuning in, thank you. Thank you for the miles you cover and the sacrifices you make to ensure our holiday seasons are full of cheer and our tables are full of yuletide feasts. From all of us at the Six Figure Trucker and Norton Transport, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a season filled with joy, peace, and prosperity. May your roads be clear, your spirits high, and your hearts full. Merry Christmas, and keep on trucking! #SixFigureTrucker
