From Army Wheels to Wreaths Across America: David May’s 48 Years Behind the Wheel

June 24, 2025

This week on Trucking Tributes, we honor David May, a professional driver with XPO for the past 28 years and a veteran of both the U.S. Army and the trucking industry, where he’s spent nearly half a century behind the wheel.


David shares his unforgettable story—from grinding gears as a young Private suddenly tasked with driving a semi, to building a lifelong career rooted in service, dedication, and pride. Coming from a long line of military men, David speaks to the true meaning of sacrifice, freedom, and patriotism—and how that spirit now drives his involvement with Wreaths Across America.


Hear how one powerful moment during the Wreaths convoy—offering an overdue hero’s welcome to a Vietnam veteran—left David forever changed and inspired.


Trucking Tributes celebrates the drivers who go beyond the call of duty to honor our nation’s veterans. Thank you, David May, for your service and your continued commitment to remembering, honoring, and teaching.


Listen every Truckin’ Tuesday at 11 AM & 4 PM EST on Wreaths Across America Radio, and at 9 AM ET / 8 AM CT as part of RadioNemo’s Road Gang Radio. Stream on-demand anytime—just search "RadioNemo" on your favorite podcast platform.
