Hi, my name is Daquan Smith, and I’m the proud owner-operator of D.Q.S. Transport. This isn’t easy for me to write—I’m not the type who normally asks for help—but a trusted friend in the trucking community reminded me that none of us rolls alone.

Today, the motor in my 18-wheeler blew, and within moments the truck caught fire. This rig wasn’t just metal and wheels; it was my livelihood and the backbone of my family’s future. I poured a lot of time and money into it over the past five years. Watching it burn was heartbreaking and more than a little terrifying.

Now I’m facing the enormous task of purchasing a new truck—all while my only source of income sits idle. Every dollar you feel led to give helps me get one mile closer to getting back on the road, serving my customers, and supporting my loved ones.

Thank you for taking the time to read, share, and support. Your generosity—no matter the amount—means the world to me.

With gratitude and hope,

Daquan Smith

Owner, D.Q.S. Transport
