J.B. Hunt Brings Home Glory!

J.B. Hunt participated at the Arkansas Truck Driving Championship this past weekend.  We had a total of 12 participants from J.B. Hunt and 5 drivers specifically from the Central Region.  Since many of you could not attend, we thought we would bring the competition to you.  Enjoy!

 

 

　

At the awards banquet, JB Hunt was honored with Fan Favorite awards for "Loudest Group" and "Best Decorated Tent".

 

One of the clear highlights of the entire banquet occurred when Brandon Garey's 8 year old daughter, Caydence, enthusiastically ran up on stage to accept these spirit stick awards on behalf of JB Hunt. Everyone in the banquet hall thought this was top notch on the adorable scale.

   

　

The definitive highlight and proudest moment for team JB occurred when Mark Overholt of the DCS Central Region took top honors in the Straight Truck category.

 

Mark's final score totaling 313 points was the top number within the JB Hunt team, the 9th best overall, and came a few points shy of "Rookie of the Year" honors as well. I am told that this victory is the first time anyone from JB Hunt has placed 1st in a class since 2004. Mark will be representing JB Hunt at the National Truck Driving Championships in Salt Lake City, UT later this year.
