Toyota Owensboro - 4 years DOT Collision Free

On 09/25/2015, the Toyota Owensboro Fleet reached the milestone of 4 Years DOT Collision Free (1460 Days). 

 

Toyota Owensboro has a fleet of 50 drivers traveling in all 48 contiguous states.  This is a great accomplishment.

 

This Fleet delivers the large majority of freight to the northeast and travels on our nation's busiest highways.  This is over 15,000,000 miles traveled DOT Collision Free.



Toyota Owensboro - THE COMMITTED TEAM

 

 

 

 

To put this in perspective, if the fleet was delivering freight to the moon, we could have delivered 37 loads there.  This also equates to 682 trips around Earth.  Without a tenured fleet of safe drivers sticking to the basics of J.B. Hunt Safety Regulations, this could not have been possible. 

 

Thanks, drivers for all of your hard work!

Family Dollar "Raising the Bar On Service" Polos

As you may be aware Family Dollar had initiated a network wide service challenge for the month of August. The criteria for the challenge was that any driver who did not have a Service Failure for the entire calendar month would earn one of the Family Dollar Polo's pictured below with the inscription: 'Family Dollar Dedicated Driver - Raising the Bar on Service'. 38 JB Hunt drivers at our Morehead location earned the right to wear this shirt.

 

We have been developing some high caliber drivers and fellow managers who can work as a team to achieve such honors from our customers.
