Kadedra has integrity and truly cares about how she does her job – qualities you cannot teach. She always pulls through, and Hogan is grateful to have Kadedra on our team!
Hogan is lucky to have a driver like Kadedra J., who always gives it her all. Both of Kadedra’s sisters are truck drivers, which is what inspired her to get into the industry two years ago. While she acknowledges that it’s a tough job, Kadedra finds truck driving very rewarding. This mentality also comes from her family – this time, her parents. “My parents were good at allowing me to become an individual who isn’t afraid to make independent decisions,” said Kadedra. “I would have to learn to figure things out for myself. This made me more appreciative of life and the difficult times I’d have to go through because I could learn from those experiences.” When she’s not in the truck, Kadedra enjoys tending to her fish tank and expressing her creative side through writing, editing, and drawing. When asked about her favorite place she has visited while driving, she highlighted Seattle, WA and anywhere in Colorado. One day, she would love to visit Japan. Kadedra has integrity and truly cares about how she does her job – qualities you cannot teach. She even holds an impressive, 100% on-time service and is always willing to help with any special projects or requests. Hogan is grateful to have Kadedra on our team!
