Central Region Driver of the Month for February - David McConnell

Congratulations to David McConnell for being selected Central Region Driver of the Month for February.  David has been with JB Hunt since 1995 and currently serves on the Home Depot Account in Van Buren, OH.  Dave is a valuable member of the team and has served a variety of roles within the company since being hired in over 20 years ago!  Dave was selected due to his work ethic, dedication, and commitment to operate safely!  Congratulations Dave!
 
 
Below is the write-up from the Home Depot team:
 
David McConnell can be seen as the ideal driver for any account. He has been with JB Hunt since 10/03/1995 and has been with the Home Depot Van Buren since 10/03/2011! He demonstrates his experience on a daily basis by frequently diagnosing and solving problems without needing any assistance. This includes starting up on Sundays from New York to meet appointments, diagnosing mechanical issues with the truck and trailer to reduce downtime, working around some of the multiple issues drivers may experience at stores, and exceptional pre-trip planning which allows him to beat nearly every ETA. He does this all while maintaining a very safe mentality in and out of the truck. There are a lot of good drivers who exhibit this behavior, but what sets Dave apart from the others is the level of consistency he displays on a daily basis. Dave is also a pleasure in the office, usually quiet and laid back. Instead of actually complaining he likes to joke about complaining. We used to call Dave a Champion before we started the “Drive like a Champion” slogan, but he will forever be the original Champion.
