Congratulations to Ed Yarber on being selected the Driver of the Month for the Central Region for October. Ed is a 14 year JB Hunt employee, all with DCS, and currently runs on the Central Farm & Garden Account out of Wooster, OH. Ed is without a doubt one of the most safety conscious, service oriented, and professional drivers we have in the region. Congratulations Ed!
Below is the write-up from AM Andrew Vincent:
Ed is the type of driver every account wishes they had! Ed is known through out the DCS Central Region as a driver who is willing to step up and help out other accounts and being a top notch trainer. With this reputation Ed was selected to come to Central Farm & Garden in January of this year (transferring over from Intigral). Central Farm & Garden had a turnover issue in 2014 and didn't have a true "lead driver". Ed has since filled that role and done an amazing job!
The Central Farm & Garden account averaged nearly 2 collisions per month in 2014. They also ended the year with over 100% turnover. Since Ed's arrival in January, here are the 2015 numbers as of September:
• 2 W.C. in first 4 months of start up at $72,500
• 0 W.C. since Ed identified as driver trainer
• Collisions reduced by nearly 50%
• Currently 395 days injury free
• Streaks of over 40 days collision free
• Driver Turnover reduced to 14%
Ed's influence on new hires has been flat out amazing. He helps us ensure our safety culture is alive and well at Central Farm and Garden. Ed is currently over 986,000 safe miles and is on pace to his 1 million safe miles later this year! Congratulations Ed on Driver Of The Month! You have definitely earned it!
