National Carriers spokesman, Ed Kentner, stated, “Jeff Gutzler is a perfect choice to represent the “Elite” Fleet. An overachiever in every area we monitor; safety, operations, and customer service. Jeff is a leader in each category. The best way I could describe him is as a family man who leads by example.”
“I just do my job. I treat others as I would like to be treated. I believe if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all. When I’m driving I watch out for others and obey the rules. When my name was announced as the winner, I was totally surprised.” remarked Gutzler.
