We are honored to welcome back America’s Road Team Captain and TA Citizen Driver Herschel Evans to the podcast. The driving force behind the annual Safety Drive For A Cure, Herschel takes us inside what it takes to bring together a premiere “preseason” TDC-level event that has now raised over $400,000 to support the work of the Pediatric Brain Cancer Foundation.

As the calendar turned to February, Safety Drive had reached its capacity for entries with 250 registrations and Safety Drive now has a waiting list for competitors. As you’ll hear in this episode of the podcast, Herschel and his Safety Driver Organizing Team are still seeking volunteers to work on the event, which will be held in Atlanta on March 14. You can sign up to become a volunteer by clicking here. There are a wide range of volunteer opportunities to support what will be the largest competitive field in the history of Safety Drive. In addition to filling a role at Safety Drive as a volunteer, Herschel shares that you can support the drivers who have entered the competition or the cause in general by making a donation.

During this episode of the podcast, Herschel takes us back to the early days of Safety Drive For Cure and he also reflects on what has been an amazing career in the trucking industry highlighted by his commitment to safety and making a difference in the communities he serves. Coming off a third-place finish at NTDC 2025 in the Sleeper Class, Herschel’s career includes two National Vehicle Class Championships in NTDC competition. Looking ahead to the future, Herschel also shares some thoughts on how Safety Drive is looking to grow in the coming years.
