  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize fellow 
Mississippian Jackie Reed for his extraordinary accomplishment of 
winning the National Truck Driving Championships last month in 
Indianapolis. Jackie, from Collinsville, Mississippi, was named the 
Bendix Grand Champion at the 2024 Truck Driving and Step Van 
Championships. As we celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week 
this week, I am honored to have the chance to recognize Jackie Reed.
  Jackie has over 30 years of professional truck driving experience for 
FedEx and has driven more than 3 million miles without an accident. For 
the third time, Jackie qualified for the National Truck Driving 
Championships by winning the state title at the Mississippi Truck 
Driving Championships.
  I am proud of Jackie Reed's much-deserved recognition as the 2024 
Grand Champion of the 87th National Truck Driving Championships. 
Jackie's record proves that he has had a career of excellence, and I am 
grateful for his expertise in this vital profession.
