It's Arkansas Truck Driving Championship Week-Let's Get Ready!

 Our drivers will start arriving today to begin their training for the 2015 Arkansas Truck Driving Championship.  We have 21 drivers in this years competition who have been working from the cab of their trucks to prepare for the pre-trip, written test, and course competition that takes place at the Embassy Suites in Rogers, Arkansas.  Our theme is military based and will have a heavy hint of camo!  The gear above has been customized for each driver.  Show below is Mark Overholt, one of our drivers who represented J.B. Hunt in the National Championship in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2013.  Mark was the Arkansas State Champion for our Straight Truck completion two years ago. Do you think this family is proud of Mark and our company?

Here is a sneak peek of our banner for the ATDC tent.

A new addition to our arsenal is the CDP trailer wrapped in our digital camo design.  It will be used as a base for our operations during ATDC week. 

Guess who came home?  We committed 5 military wrapped tractors and 4 brand new Wabash 53' duraplate trailers to the Saturday competition.  All 5 drivers willingly donated their trucks to the event and are helping us capture other equipment in the field.  We have fantastic veterans working for our company.  Doesn't it make you proud?   

The Fantastic 5 in all their glory!  These units look great, which is a testament to the care and pride our 5 veteran drivers have taken since being assigned to the equipment.  Our 5 veterans include Louis Salas, Paul Crecelius, Daniel Byers, John Smallwood, and Alex Maldonado.  Guess what?  That is the same 5 drivers who were originally assigned to these units.  It makes you wonder why we only have 5 trucks total that are wrapped?  We support philanthropic causes that would make an important impact on our drivers, employees and the motoring public.  It stands to reason that the following causes would look tremendous in a similar fashion:
