Senior Driver Advocate & Equipment Analyst
Jack Sullivan spent 25 years behind the wheel of a Class 8 rig, logging over 3 million safe miles across all 48 contiguous states before transitioning to journalism. A former owner-operator who ran his own authority for a decade, Jack knows the trucking life from the inside out — the long nights, the tight deadlines, the camaraderie at truck stops, and the constant battle to stay safe on America's highways. Now he channels that hard-won experience into reporting that puts drivers first. Jack covers equipment reviews, truck stop culture, driver health and wellness, and the real-world impact of industry changes on the men and women who keep freight moving. His writing is direct, no-nonsense, and always grounded in the perspective of someone who has lived the life he writes about.
