66 10-4 Magazine / September 2025 wedding that will happen in about a year. Chad runs regional hauling liquid fertilizer or anhydrous and tries to stay within eight hours of home, but there have been a few trips over the road as far as Pennsylvania. Holly (31) has worked for Liberty Mutual for almost ten years and has since transferred to being 100% remote. Chad’s dad Kenneth has been with Poole for 35 years, showing that Poole Agribusiness is a family-oriented company that values their employees. Special thanks from Chad to Holly, for realizing that trucking is not only his job, but it is his passion. She supports him 100%, is the greatest thing to ever happen to him, and is the reason he keeps going. To his mom and dad (Sonja and Kenneth) for believing in him, being proud of him, and for the continued support through the good times and the bad. To the rest of his people for never giving up on him, never looking down on him, and always being there when he needs them the most. I would like to thank my friend Trevin Walck for his suggestion to photograph Chad’s truck and that he would be a great guy to interview and feature. I’d seen pictures of the truck prior to shooting it, and it definitely is an eye-catcher and a head-turner. But what I wasn’t prepared for was meeting Chad in person, at the fifth annual Sunflower Classic Truck Show in Garden City, KS, back in June. He is truly one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve met, and to top it off, having had the opportunity to meet his lovely girlfriend (now fiancé) Holly, that was a special bonus treat. The photography was done at a couple spots in Garden City including near the Lee Richardson Zoo on a sunny (and very hot) day. Thank you to Chad for not only the great conversation, but also for allowing me the opportunity to photograph your truck and tell your story. If you are passionate about the work you do, it’s not just a job, it’s something you are proud of. As always, to all the drivers out there doing the deal, truck safe. n
