Get to know Dave Cooney

RTLA (Andy Lickfeld at Niagara Sheets)


Dave was born and raised in North Tonawanda, NY. He currently lives right up the road from the Niagara Sheets plant. He has 3 children aged 9, 15, and 17. Dave served in the United States Army for 14 years. He was a driver and transported things from fuel and ammo to Humvees and tanks. He did five tours of duty, four in Iraq and one in Kosovo. On one tour he was driving a truck and was blown up by enemy forces. He suffered injuries to his face, including shrapnel in his eyes. He was able to recover fully, and continue his driving career. When Dave was Honorably discharged in 2010, he got off the road for awhile, going back to college and working in a rail yard. Missing the freedom of the road, he got back in the cab and worked at various different companies before joining JB Hunt. On his off-time Dave enjoys being outside and fishing. He is working on buying a nice boat with a Cuddy cabin to get out on the lake.
