This article reflects on an interview with Bay & Bay Transportation Company Driver, Kevin Wojtasiak.
Introducing Kevin Wojtasiak
Somewhere between the land of 10,000 lakes in the great state of Minnesota and the Potomac River in our nation’s capital, where the open road meets determination, Kevin Wojtasiak found his calling at Bay & Bay Transportation. Kevin has been a professional driver with Bay & Bay since 2008, but measuring his experience in years behind the wheel or miles traveled would only scratch the surface. Kevin’s journey is about breaking free from the daily grind of office life to carry on his family’s trucking legacy. His dad hauled logs as a California-based driver working in the timber industry, so you could say trucking is in his blood. Today, he has profound appreciation for the financial security and camaraderie that he enjoys as a driver for Bay & Bay.
The Road to Remembrance: Honoring Fallen Soldiers
Kevin Wojtasiak sees the open road as more than just a way to get from point A to point B; it’s his freedom trail. His favorite thing is cruising down the highway, leaving the monotony of doing the same thing every day behind in favor of a career where no two days are the same. Of all the places he’s been, one holds a special place in his heart: Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.
Here, Kevin pays tribute to fallen soldiers, turning his truck into a moving memorial. Fellow motorists marvel at the design on his military wrapped truck. It’s a great source of pride and it draws him closer to his military roots, and to the ones we’ve lost along the way.
A Community United
Despite loving the freedom and independence of being an over-the-road driver, Kevin believes in maintaining strong ties to his community. Bay & Bay’s commitment to causes like the Special Olympics Convoys and Wreaths Across America gives him a way to give back and stand with his fellow drivers.
As Kevin keeps his eyes on the horizon, his message to his brothers and sisters behind the wheel is simple: “Stay safe and stay focused.” While this seasoned trucker keeps navigating the ups and downs of the highway, his moral compass is as reliable as the GPS on his dashboard. Kevin Wojtasiak is driven by an unwavering commitment to his work and an eternal gratitude for those who paved the way for him to stand tall, both as a veteran and as a professional driver for Bay & Bay.
