Former National Truck Driving Championships standout Brian Singelais recently underwent a successful heart transplant after facing a failing heart earlier this year. Singelais, the 2015 national champion in the 5-axle tanker division, is currently on the road to recovery and undergoing therapy sessions at a medical facility in New England. He credits his resilience, the miracle of science, and the overwhelming support from the New England and NTDC trucking community for his positive outcome. Singelais’ wife, Sarah, expressed their deep gratitude for the support and emphasized the impact of the online GoFundMe campaign, which has raised over $20,000 for their medical expenses.
The Singelais family has been touched by the outpouring of love and support from the trucking community, which they now consider as friends and family outside of competition. Singelais, a third-generation trucker from Webster, Massachusetts, has accumulated more than three decades of experience in the industry. As he continues his recovery, the feedback and support from the NTDC community serve as a constant source of inspiration. The upcoming 2024 National Truck Driving Championships and National Step Van Driving Championships are scheduled to take place in Indianapolis from August 21 to 24.
