Northeast Region Driver of the Month - September 2022

Please join me in congratulating Glenn Van Arkel for being selected as the northeast region driver of the month.  Glenn works at the Home Depot Pittston location and has been with J.B. Hunt since 2017.  Jeff's management team has the following to say on why Jeff was such a solid driver for them:

It is with great honor in acknowledging Glens 5 year contribution to the account. Glenn is one of those guys who shows up to work every day ready to do whatever we need him to do. Whereas other drivers are preplanned because they are difficult to deal with, or because they don’t want to get certain parts of our service area, Glenn ended up getting pre-planned through his actions alone. He is always on time. He gets his stores delivered without issue. He gets his backhauls picked up without issue. And anytime there is a snag in his day, he makes sure to over communicate it with the office. Once we knew we could rely on his excellent work-ethic, we knew we had a stud able to get some more of the challenging runs done.

But what really sets Glenn apart is his willingness to bail us out of bad situations. Whether it’s recovering other drivers or taking on last minute outsource work. Glenn rarely, if ever, says no. He has been the epitome of a team player. Often taking on outsource gigs others would pass on, just because he knows it’s the right thing to do.

Thank you, Glenn, for five fantastic years!!!

Glen will be recognized at the 2023 Kick off Meeting and awards ceremony in the coming months.  Good Luck and congratulations!
