10-4 Magazine October 2022

10-4 Magazine / October 2022 35 from the original owner, Paul Young, who bought the truck brand new in 1979 from Kenworth of Indianapolis. As COO, Jesse is responsible for overseeing all the operations, including dispatching of approximately 500 trucks (all owner operators), maintenance, and safety. NHH also owns about 150 trailers they maintain and rent out. He has a qualified team of co-workers who work together for the same goal of not only doing what needs to be done, but also creating a great work environment for the employees and owner operators, too. Thank you from Jesse to his father, family, friends, and all the companies for their help and continued support, and to all the owner operators and employees who help make the companies what they are. Special thanks go out to Luke Merrell and SamCline for their continued help during the summers, helping to keep both the Peterbilt and Kenworth ready for all the shows. I first saw this truck at this year’s Shine InThe Pines Truck Show inDublin, GA and it caught my eye right away. I was able to speak with Jesse very briefly but had more of a conversation with Danielle (previously mentioned VP of Operations). Through our continued communications, we set up the time for me to come up to photograph the 379, along with the aforementioned A Model. Tipton, IN was another area that I had not been to before, and it was definitely a beautiful area to explore. Thank you to Jesse for making sure the trucks were cleaned up and getting them moved around when I was up there. I appreciate the opportunity to have been able to photograph the trucks, as well as document your trucking history. Thank you to Danielle Szerlik for her awesome communication and scheduling skills to make this all come together. Work ethic and presentation is always a reflection of yourself, with who you are in your career, as well as in your personal life. As always, to all the drivers out there doing the deal, truck safe. n
