Central Region Driver of the Month for July - Myron Gilbert

Congratulations to Myron Gilbert for being selected as the Central Region Driver of the Month for July.  Myron has been with JB Hunt since 2010 and is one of the original drivers on our Home Depot Account in Monroe, OH.  Myron was chosen Driver of the Month out of more than 1000 drivers!  Congratulations Myron!

 

 

Below is the write-up fro the Monroe Team:

 



Relationship with Customer –

                Few drivers on the fleet have run such a dedicated route as Myron. In the days before MFL trailers and drop & hook delivery windows, Myron served as one of the 01:00 start time drivers, to make the live delivery window to several of the stores in Knoxville, TN. Myron’s personality is hard to forget, and several of the stores and backhaul vendors have a great relationship with him. On multiple occasions Myron has been able to exercise this relationship to help speed up load times or stay on the property of shippers when he was tight on hours.

Description of Driver of the Month –

                Myron is one of only a few drivers left that hired onto the account at startup. Myron hired on with J.B. Hunt in February of 2010 and has been a solid performer since. Myron is as consistent as they come; his attendance record is spotless and he hasn’t had any service failures in his time with the account. Myron’s safety performance is equally impressive, with only one critical event in 2017 and no incidents in the last 2 years. Myron’s relationship with the office is rivaled by few. The office lights up when he walks in, and every manager wants to pop in and say hello to him. Even when he isn’t in the office, the staff enjoys interacting with him. Most notably, Myron is known for his voice mail message, in which he pretends to have answered the phone, only to trick the caller into having missed “The Black Cat.” Myron sets a wonderful example for his peers and is a delight to work with. Thanks for all that you do Myron.
