Northeast Region Driver of the Month - August 2023

 

Every account has a few exceptional drivers, one that stands out above the rest. Tom is that driver for the Costco account. He holds the current record for the most trainees on our account at 17, with a 91.2% trainer score. His accident history is zero while working for JB Hunt for almost 7 years. He’s expected to hit 750,000 accident-free miles in January. It’s difficult to explain the level of appreciation we have for Tom. He calls into the office regularly to check in with us to verify his trainees’ information, so that he can arrive on time to greet them. As well as making himself available at night for any start up to accommodate the trainees. When we’re in need of a driver receiving additional training, such as a ride-along, Tom is there for us every time. Many of us have spoken to Tom and his family because he’ll call into the office while on speakerphone with them in his personal vehicle. Not only does he go out of his way to make sure he’s training everyone properly, but he also physically goes out of his way to get to work. Tom is our longest tenured driver based out of Connecticut. He parks in West Haven and takes an empty to our location in NJ to pick up his delivery. Recently, he attended our BBQ as he sat with our other drivers sharing stories. We are incredibly grateful for having Tom on our account and look forward to celebrating more milestones with him in the coming years.

Congratulations Tom !
