As 2014 drew to a close and we reflected back on an epic year, we want to take a moment to say thank you for making all of this a reality. Without you, none of this is possible and we are incredibly grateful to you for your belief, your support and your willingness to stay engaged as we transform our Truckload division.
It’s amazing to us that as we just wrapped up our year we are still able to do things that we’ve never done before - all because of you!
We had some major milestones this year - THANK YOU!
Here’s a few of the highlights:
-We launched our Bigger Trucks, Bigger Bucks campaign. With input from our Professional Drivers, we introduced the 2015 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution 72" Sleeper Truck in our Eastern Network. Our newer pay introduced several elements---a productivity bonus, pay for experience, and a transition assistance program so our drivers have a chance to get to know us.
-We launched our J.B. Hunt Experience. Special emphasis has been given to making life on the road better for our drivers.
-We competed in the Arkansas Truck Driving Championships in Rogers, AR. Rodney Collins represented the Truckload team by placing second in the Sleeper division with a total of 381 points.
-We wrapped 5 Truckload Freightliners to honor our military veterans.
-We began bringing our drivers to Lowell, AR to recognize our Drivers of the Month and to be a part of each of our Quarterly Rallies.
-We launched our Truck Talk Blog, LUV TRUCK Hotline, and regularized Driver Surveys.
-Gary Carthon was nominated to represent J.B. Hunt and our Truckload division as our TA/Petro Citizen Driver for 2015.
-Our management team took to the open road and joined our Professional Drivers in the cab of the trucks. We learned valuable lessons on the road and gained a healthier respect for issues that our drivers face every day.
-Wreaths Across America was represented by 7 J.B. Hunt drivers from Maine to Arkansas. Two of our Truckload division drivers, Daniel Byers and Louis Salas, helped pull the load from Columbus, OH to Nashville, TN. The specially wrapped truck was picked up in Laredo, TX and driven to Conneticut by Alex Maldanado, one of our network drivers from San Antonio, TX.
-We made a substantial investment in refreshing a tractor and trailer fleet.
-We joined the Women In Trucking organization.
Thank you so much for allowing us to do what we do! We love our industry, company and division!
Have an incredible 2015 and see you on the road or here at corporate soon!
