This past week, Ben Hurt of the Toyota Account in Louisville KY went on a ride-along with Darrell Budd. Darrell is a Million Mile Safe Driver, and serves as a Regional Driver on the Account. Darrell lives in Gosport, IN and has been with JB Hunt since 2006. Darrell does an outstanding job of servicing our customer in a safe and professional manner!
Below is a write-up on Darrell:
Darrell hails from Indiana and acquired his CDL through a
school paid for by C.R. England. He worked for them for a short period and then
began his career with flatbed. He has recently earned his 1 Million Safe Miles
award from JB. Darrell operates for the Toyota Owensboro account and handles
the frame deliveries that require the Moffett to unload. He has operated
forklifts since his first job at the age of 14 and his work ethic shows through
his performance at JB Hunt.
Darrell
informed me of a time in recent history of a load that he took to California.
On the trip, he had to pass through Wyoming. He asked, “Have you ever heard of
a ground blizzard? Because I’m from Indiana and we don’t have those.” He is
always in good spirits and keeps his mind on safety. While at the yard to get
loaded, he made certain to put on his safety vest and hard hat. Then, when
going into his side box for his straps, he went back for his gloves and stated,
“Once you get yourself into a habit of doing something, it’s easy to know something
is different so you don’t miss anything.
Darrell is
a true champion driver who champions safety above all. We look forward to many
more awards for safe miles from Darrell!
