This year’s Grand Champion CDL driver is Isaiah Hicks-Dixon of Old Dominion Freight Line, whose journey from dockworker to professional driver has inspired peers and supervisors alike. He earned his way into the Old Dominion Truck Driver Training (ODTDT) program and excelled as both a switcher and combo driver. His positive attitude, strong work ethic, and commitment to Old Dominion’s values make him a role model throughout the company. These individuals, nominated by their companies, represent the future of the workforce—from national carriers to regional fleets and local shops. As part of the award, each finalist will receive a custom banner and commemorative plaque to proudly display at their workplace.
