This past Memorial Day holiday weekend, our superior Operations Team seamlessly executed a secret mission to protect highly sensitive cargo for Abbott Nutrition.

A big shout out to the entire extended coverage operations support team for accomplishing this mission.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation transforms lives by bringing joy and hope to children with critical conditions. The many magical moments the nonprofit creates affirm to children around the world that their dreams are both important and possible, despite their medical challenges.

This past May, Stevens Transport proudly had the opportunity to take part in this magic by participating in the Make-A-Wish 2023 Truck Convoy. The event transformed Manheim Pennsylvania Auto Auction into a celebratory space as children and families enjoyed delicious food, carnival games, and magical encounters with beloved characters and new friends. At the center of it all was the celebration of the current and former Make-A-Wish Kids!

One such inspiring Wish Kid present at the convoy was the remarkable young girl, Emma Rose Straub from central Pennsylvania. Emma has defied the odds and triumphed over a series of complex medical conditions since birth. Now, she stands as an inspiration to others, showcasing strength, resilience, and an unwavering positive spirit. Emma is a storyteller, a singer, and a fighter. Notably, Emma hasn’t been admitted to the hospital in four years, a testament to her perseverance.

Stevens Transport had the honor of personally celebrating Emma by curating an exhilarating adventure for her during the event. Emma joined our very own employee, Nikeyta Matthews, also known as “Pinky,” for

a ride in her bold and bright Pink Peterbilt truck coined “Ms. Clarissa.” Emma enthusiastically waved at the crowds lining the streets during the convoy as she rode alongside Pinky, so much so that her arms were tired by the end of it! Nonetheless, she enjoyed every second. “They went above and beyond to make me feel special,” says Emma. “Pinky gave me gifts like stuffed animals, a personalized keychain, even flowers for my mom on Mother’s Day.”

Pinky’s kindness and generosity towards Emma comes from the heart. Personal experiences with cancer have driven Pinky to raise awareness and provide solace. The profound impact of her Pink Peterbilt truck has garnered gratitude from both drivers and pedestrians. Stevens Transport has recognized her compassion, selecting her as their ambassador against cancer. Pinky has also inspired women across the trucking industry, as she showcases the benefits of business ownership through her unwavering dedication and through her advocacy for driver safety.

We encourage you to follow along both Pinky and Emma on their own personal journeys as they inspire the world! To learn more about Emma Rose, she invites you to follow her on Facebook at “Prayers for Emma Rose” and subscribe to her YouTube channel, “Cat’s Got Fleas (Emma).” To learn more about Nikeyta ‘Pinky’ Matthews, subscribe to “OTR Diva” on Youtube. Stevens Transport is beyond proud to support awe-inspiring people like Emma and Pinky!
