Driver of the Month Congratulations Danny Kier, Ace Doran Contractor of the Month for June!

Danny Kier has been with Ace Doran terminal 039 Middletown, Ohio since 1994.

Son to LeRoy who recently passed away, Dan is a 2nd generation owner operator with Ace Doran. Dan is very reliable and knowledgeable of the trucking industry. His professionalism, mannerism along with his well-kept equipment has brought many compliments and thanks from our customers.

Recently he took" Safety Is Priority One" to a second level. When Danny and another driver were on a trip to Texas the other driver became ill. Danny would not leave him and made sure that his priority was to get the loads delivered, the driver and their equipment safely back to Ohio.

Thank you Danny for a job well done and making a fellow drivers safety a priority one.

Congrats Danny!
