Central Region - Driver of the Month - March 2016 - Jason Roaden - Pet Supplies Plus



Every AM and fleet manager has those handful of drivers they can trust to make the tough deliveries.  The guys they can count on to get the freight there on time, no matter what.  The guys who will impress the customer with their professionalism and expertise.  They are resourceful critical thinkers. Jason is all of these things.  Add to the list of outstanding qualities an extreme dedication to JB Hunt and an unparalleled pride in his work.  A former combat medic, he excels in challenging situations. Jason has made a name for himself here in the DCS Central Region.   His work ethic and superior performance are well established.  Here are some testimonials from managers whose accounts Jason has helped this month. 


Zach Oakes - LC The Home Depot, Monroe
I can't thank you enough for lending Jason to me during the Serta pop-up fleet. Jason was a valuable asset.  I've seen very few drivers that can match Jason's work ethic. Combined with his flexibility and dedication to J.B. Hunt, Jason certainly ranks in the top echelon of drivers. Several times I asked Jason to run difficult loads and push the limits of what we could do. Every time he was more than willing to rise to the challenge, often surprising me with what he's capable of and never once complaining. Jason quickly became my go-to driver for sticky situations. Jason sets a shining example of the type of driver J.B. Hunt aims to put on the road and I'm sure I speak for us all when I say that we're proud to have him on our side.

Jess Caudill - AM Tyson
Jason came over to help support our team here at Tyson Corydon last week, with no agri experience. He came in and stepped right up hauling live chickens from the farms to our processing plant. Navigo is used more as a guide on this account with narrow, curvy dangerous roads and Jason came right in mapped out his day from our paper directions with no question and proceeded to arrival at each farm with precision timing. This can be a tough account if you are not using the Smith Keys and remaining focused at all times and Jason has the self awareness and determination that sets a great example  not just of the other drivers but shows to our customer the type of excellence they can expect out of JB Hunt. Thanks Jason.

Chris Block - AM - JMC
He did an outstanding job for us. All his deliveries were done right and on time. This account has a very demanding customer. If a box was put in the wrong spot I would've heard about it. He's welcome back on this account anytime.
