Meet the founder
From starting over to moving forward.
At 42, Sandra Williams was broke, unemployed and living in a shelter. She knew nothing about trucks or trucking. Then one person believed in her.
Today, at 63, she is still proudly operating. SafeStart is her way of passing that belief forward.
