Central Region Driver of the Month for August - Glen Gundle

Congratulations to Glen Gundle for being selected as Driver of the Month for the Central Region for August!  Glen is a Regional Driver based out of Flowery Branch GA on the Cargill Account.  Glen has been with JB Hunt for just over two years, but prior to that had worked for UPS for almost 20.  Glen poses some impressive stats, including 0 collisions, 0 CSA points, 0 rair points, 7.94 MPG, and 100% on-time service.  Glen's overall attitude and service to our customers in a safe and professional manner was the main factor in his selection this month.  Congrats Glen!
 
 
Below is the write-up from management:
 
“ Drive Like A Champion”, Drive Like A winner, Drive with Pride, Drive with Respect, Drive with passion, drive like it’s your company, drive with admiration , I could go on and on . I would like to introduce the Driver that processes all of these and more, Glen Gundle. Glen will tell you that “it’s nothing really”. Glen in-spires all around him from JB Hunt drivers and management to all of Car-gill Flowery Branch employees and management to other Mills in the region. It has been a honor to have Glen as my Driver . He is my go to guy.
 
You will never hear the words , “I can’t”, “No”, “It can’t be done”, “I would but I can’t”, “that’s impossible”. What you will hear from Glen is: “anytime” I can do that” I have an idea” This way might be better”, “No problem”, Whatever you need or want to make it work”, “let me do that” , these are just a few of the inspiring selflessness attitude gestures that Glen Has towards his job and JB Hunt . Glen was moved to the driver trainer position for these reasons. He is courteous, professional, safe, and continues to provide top notch customer service with a smile. He is truly dedicated to the job and goes above and beyond to forge relationships with the Cargill feed mill employees, fellow drivers, farmers, and JB Hunt management. He has assisted at several other accounts within the Cargill network as well as other DCS ac-counts and every manager that works with Glen sings his praises.
 
Glen is the other drivers go to guy. If they have a question about any customer in regards to the safe way to deliver, directions, along with contributing last minute critical support to the mill itself. Customers have called in to give a compliment about his customer service. To have a customer go out of their way to call and give praise means more than just a thank you. I know when I have Glen out on the road I’m at ease.
 
Glen is also cross trained as a Bulk delivery driver. When asked to help with the bulk side of the business Glen is right on it with no rebuttal. Glen would say “no problem I got this” . He is currently assisting with the bulk fleet while another driver is out on medical leave. Flowery Branch Mill employees and Management admire Glen’s work ethics and attitude, always giving compliments that Glen is enjoyable to have as part of their team.
 
In his spare time he travels as a professional corn hole player and continues to place at or near the top. His goal is to play in the national cornhole champion-ship and he gets closer to that goal each year.
