Wreaths Across America - Rome Carter - CHEP Columbus Professional Driver - U.S. Navy Veteran




Rome Carter - Chep Columbus - U.S. Navy Veteran
Jerome (Rome) Carter served in the United States Navy for 10 years.  Rome comes from a family that has served a combined total of 352 years staring with World War II.  After separation from the USN, Rome became a professional driver.  After hiring on at JB Hunt in 2012 Rome worked briefly on a regional fleet before coming to the CHEP Columbus fleet.  He has over 550,000 safe miles.  Always proactive in order to insure service to his customers, Rome goes above and beyond offering his help to our customers whether it be moving trailers in/out of docks or checking on future orders for them.  Rome always extends the same level of service to our account offering his support whenever he has leftover hours.  Never without a smile. Rome is a great asset to us and our customers.



J.B. Hunt proudly is participating in the annual Wreaths Across America event again this year. On December 12, National Wreaths Across America Day, more than half a million fallen heroes will have wreaths placed on their graves. Getting the wreaths to cemeteries across the nation is no easy feat, though. Therefore, we select  20 of our best military veteran drivers to help honor the fallen by driving a leg of our two routes, traveling in one of our wrapped Hunt’s Heroes trucks.  Rome Carter from the Chep Columbus, OH fleet was selected as one of these drivers!
