Beyond the Wheel: Meet Devendra

For Devendra, every day brings new challenges and adventures—exactly what drew him to trucking more than three decades ago. As one of Bulk Carriers' most experienced drivers, Devendra recently shared insights into his life behind the wheel and what keeps him motivated after 31 years on the road.

"Meeting new people every day and learning new cultures" stands out as what Devendra enjoys most about his career with Bulk Carriers. However, he doesn't shy away from acknowledging the challenges, particularly "driving on black ice and in snow storms" across Canadian highways, obstacles he's mastered throughout his years of service, helping Bulk Carriers maintain its reputation for reliable transport even in the most demanding conditions.

When asked what people should understand about trucking as a career, Devendra emphasizes both its rewards and responsibilities: "Trucking is a good career till you get a company that respects your professionalism", a value that Bulk has built its employment practices around. He thoughtfully adds a note of caution that reflects his deep experience: "Trucking is taking risks every single minute. Wrong decisions while driving can lead to the loss of your dear ones," highlighting why safety remains a cornerstone of Bulk Carriers' operations.

While Devendra has transported Bulk Carriers' freight extensively throughout North America, with Miami and Alberta marking his furthest destinations to date, he continues to embrace the diversity of routes that come with being part of a nationwide transport network.

Off the road, Devendra balances his demanding career with Bulk Carriers with family time and personal interests. He enjoys cycling with his daughter when at home and flying his drone during rest periods on the road—a testament to the work-life balance that Bulk Carriers strives to support for all its drivers.

What continues to fuel his passion after three decades in the industry with Bulk? True to how he began our conversation, Devendra's answer remains consistent: "New challenges and new adventures." As Devendra's story demonstrates, Bulk Carriers' drivers bring rich experiences and dedicated professionalism to every mile they travel, embodying the spirit that drives our transport and logistics company forward. His journey represents the human expertise behind our success in delivering not just cargo, but peace of mind to our customers across North America.
