Steve O’Connor, a Decker flatbed driver for three years and a sergeant in the 56 BCT of the 36th Infantry Division in the Texas National Guard, recently returned home from a tour in Iraq.
O’Connor left for an 18-month activation in July of 2004. While stationed near the Baghdad International Airport, Steve served in logistics transportation. His missions consisted of force protection, in which he and his company provided post security, convoy escort security and additional security for the two major elections.
Upon Steve’s return to the States, Decker Truck Line, Inc. welcomed him back with a brand new 2006 Peterbilt tractor.
Decker, based in Fort Dodge, Iowa, is a diversified carrier transporting flatbed, refrigerated, and dry van freight to the 48 contiguous states and seven Canadian provinces.
