  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate David May of 
West Seneca, N.Y., the American Trucking Association's 2008 National 
Truck Driver of the Year. David, a relay and city driver for Con-way 
Freight, should be proud of this impressive accomplishment and 
commitment to keeping our nation's highways safe.
   The National Truck Driver of the Year award is the greatest honor a 
professional truck driver can achieve. In his 27 years on the road, 
David has driven over 1.4 million miles without getting in an accident. 
This is a great accomplishment for David, and we are proud to claim him 
as our own.
   David has served as a committed and influential leader by serving as 
America's Road Team Captain in 2005, the driver representative on the 
CDL Advisory Committee in Washington, DC, and as a participant in the 
2007 National Conference of State Legislatures Summit. He has spoken 
with the public and colleagues about the importance of improving 
highway safety and has addressed numerous groups including legislators 
and school children.
   Congratulations and best wishes for continued success to David May 
for maintaining such high standards and encouraging others to do the 
same. This remarkable accomplishment should inspire us all to pursue 
our goals with devoted persistence.
