Our Professional Drivers showcased our new gear. We chose the classic dark brown as a testament to our past. The group participated in a corporate tour, lunch with their managers, driving course work, and concentration on our technology (E-Logs, PeopleNet, DRIVE). We ended the day with pizza and a roundtable. We enjoy asking them why they love J.B. Hunt and the Rogers Magic Wand question (You get one wish to make a change at J.B. Hunt. What do you change tomorrow?) . The #1 response to what they would change tomorrow was more time after orientation learning about the tools that can make them successful. We are going to fulfill this request for Job Specific Training immediately. It will make us better in key areas like retention, utilization and service.
What a great looking team minus the bald guy in the middle. The weekly roundtable is one of the highlights of my job. Interacting with our Professional Drivers and hearing a new employee's perspective is refreshing and energizing.
