“Bigfoot.” I think my dad had [the name] first back in ’68. That, and the size of my feet.

“Cookie.” It was my dad’s handle. He was a driver for 40 years. I took it when he passed to honor his memory. He got it stealing cookies from the cookie jar as a kid in Vermont.

Company driver for Premier
“Hotrod.” It’s my nickname. It’s what my dad named me when I was born. Since it’s different than my real name, I decided to keep it as my handle.
