Northeast Region Driver of the Month November 2015

Please join me in congratulating Michael Covington for being selected as the Northeast Region November driver of the month.

While Mike was learning the job, in 2013, he had the opportunity to deliver to every store serviced out of Hatfield, MA. Mike learned every borough accident free. Early in Mike’s career he demonstrated the ability to learn quickly, and furthermore, to teach others the job efficiently as well. He was quick to grasp Peoplenet and utilize its strengths to make the job more efficient. He led the way in teaching new drivers how to use it properly. He takes his responsibility seriously.

Michael has grown to become a super trainer. As a result he lives and breathes our values and culture. He has trained over thirty successful new hires throughout his career and his retraining techniques have had a direct influence on decreasing turnover and reducing accident frequency.

Mike once stated he trains because someone once gave him a shot at making this job his career. He has a desire to give the same opportunity to every driver that comes through his cab. Mike believes that for the job to be done, it must be done right, or it will not be a career.

Being an over the road driver once before, Mike is quick to remind drivers of why he came to J.B. Hunt and why what we have to offer is far better than the competitor.

Michael is currently at 190,000 safe driving miles and counting.  For his selection he will receive a certificate of achievement, a cash award and his picture displayed throughout the northeast region at each DCS location and at the company headquarters in Lowell Arkansas.   In addition Michael becomes eligible for the prestigious driver of the year being selected in January.
 
Congratulations  Michael !
