10-4 Magazine / February 2026 35 has always been what I loved and I love trucking,” said Steen, adding, “My wife Linda surprised me in 2019 after I received the TA/Petro Citizen Driver Award with a Golden Retriever puppy named Daisy. Daisy is now seven years old and I love spending time with Linda and Daisy when I’m home.” With over 56 years behind the wheel and over six million safe miles to his credit, the boy who left Denmark in 1954 embarked on an amazing journey at a very young age and, little did he know at that time, it would become the journey of a lifetime. Congratulations Steen, and keep on truckin’ – because guys like you (unfortunately) are few and far between, these days! n EDITOR’S NOTE: All the vintage images are courtesy of Steen Gronlund.
