Getting to Know - William Fairley

This past week, TGM Zach Mattingly was able to catch a ride with William Fairley.  William is a Regional Driver on our Toyota Account based in Louisville, KY.  From Monroe, LA; William has been with JB Hunt since June of 2018.  William grew up in what he calls farm country, and has been around farming and feed trucks for his entire life.  While William is somewhat new to the industry, his ultimate goal is to buy his own truck and start his own business.  William is a great driver who does a fantastic job for the account!

Below are some additional details on William:

William has been to two other companies outside of J.B. Hunt and points to J.B. Hunt’s professionalism as the piece that pushes us over the top. He says that the other companies he has driven for do not seem to care nearly as much or want to help; especially those drivers just starting out. He calls his new automatic “sweet”, however, does suggest improvements to the power of the vehicle. He states that going through all the hilly and mountain terrain that he drives each week makes it difficult when the power of the truck loses steam on each hill.
