Northeast Driver of the Month - May 2023

 


Please join me in congratulating Ray Carroll for being selected as the Northeast region driver of the month for May of 2023. 

Ray has been an exemplary J.B. Hunt employee since 2015and works at the Rite Aid account in Aberdeen MD.   He is one of the account’s stand-out trainers and has shown himself to be a safe and reliable roll model to his peers and trainees. Ray’s personal philosophy to success is to “stay vigilant in completing the work each day, to take your time, and understand all aspects of the job at hand.  The better you understand the job and value of the work, the better you understand the possible repercussions of failing to do things properly”. Rays sets the standards for himself and those he trains high, his motto is “Arrive Alive”.

 Ray’s driving career started 9 years ago, and he has consistently worked to make it a successful endeavor.  This is Ray’s second driving job, and he counts it as his best.  Ray had one collision event when starting at the company 8 years ago and he has not had a CVE in 2-years. Driving safely for the public, himself, and his family is what motivates him each day. Ray consistently goes above and beyond and has even been awarded the account’s champion belt for outstanding service.

 Outside of the office, Ray enjoys BBQing and spending quality time with this family.  He has 4 children and 1 granddaughter soon turning 1-year old.  Ray is an avid sports fan.  He used to play basketball and is a huge football fan of the Chicago Bears. Ray plans to retire from Hunt.  He says if he does decide to come out of the truck, he has an interest in Operations, particularly in Safety. 

 Ray’s dedication to creating a safe and healthy work environment made it easy to choose him for driver of the month.  The positivity he brings each day impacts everyone he interacts with.  His safety record shows that he practices what he teaches
