Lowell Driver Experience Continues

Lowell Driver Experience Session 9:

We are 9 weeks in and approximately 54 drivers have attended The Lowell Driver Experience, the benefits we are seeing from spending quality time with our drivers is proving to be priceless.

Area Safety Manager Deb Beecher showing she is not afraid to get under the trailer to teach our drivers what a proper pre-trip looks like.

Even Justin Norman and Kenneth Kelly decided to join in and get under the trailer to make sure they see what they were looking at.

Even though we were focused on learning, it was hard to not enjoy the great company and the weather. Just ask Henry McCoy, Josiah Rockafeller and Oscar Bowman, pictured here with Deb Beecher our Safety Manager.

Safety Director Todd Davis spent the enter afternoon in the sun helping our drivers navigate the course.

On boarding Manager Deb Brown spent a little quality time out on the course with Driver Kenneth Kelley as they watched fellow drivers complete the course. 

The Lowell Driver Experience not only bridges a gap between our Drivers and Front Line Managers, it offers a moment to touch on our safety culture. The day also provides an opportunity to instill a new found respect and appreciation of safety in our employees, the impact is across the boards. The difference in how a fleet can run when Managers have the opportunity to get to know our drivers on a personal level is remarkable. Each week the groups are larger and the experience even better. We truly have the best drivers here at J.B. Hunt.
