North and South


Our group spent Friday morning on some development.  Danny Deer was asked to make a special appearance to help us deliver the training in an effective manner.  Greg Breeden learned the difference between deer and deers and the correct plural use related to animals that we hunt or herd.  Greg took it in stride and made the event even more fun with his humor.

Wreaths Across America

The effort our company made to support this worthy cause  has special passion for me.  On Saturday we will be placing wreaths at every gravesite in the Fayetteville National Cemetery here in Arkansas.  My hope is that someone is doing the same honorable task in Milledgeville, Georgia at my father's headstone.  Hats off to J.B. Hunt for giving their full support to a fantastic cause.

Coming Home-Wreaths Across America Arrive in Lowell, Arkansas

Our wrapped truck journeyed from Laredo, Texas to the extremes of Maine.  We picked up 6,000 wreaths and headed south.  Our teams made stops at Conneticut, Harrisburg, Columbus, Louisville, Nashville, Memphis, and Lowell.  Seven drivers took the wheel during this trip and were active in ceremonies in the cities with a formal key exchange. 
 Here comes our pride and joy!
 Our Professional Driver Michael and our CEO arrive safely at the corporate office.

 

 CEO John Roberts addresses the crowd.
 One of the largest crowds we have witnessed at J.B. Hunt gathered to welcome our hero.




Flannel Friday

Last Friday the Southeast/Midwest Region celebrated the love of Flannel.  It makes us ponder what they have in store this week?
