J.B. Hunt Intermodal driver Steve Kirschbaum celebrates 5 million miles without a DOT-reportable preventable accident at J.B. Hunt's annual Million Mile Walk of Fame at company headquarters on April 29.

The annual Million Mile celebration brought the newest class of Million Mile drivers and their families to corporate headquarters for a multi-day experience that included time with company leadership, recognition moments and the Million Mile Walk of Fame. Drivers and their families were welcomed by company leaders, thousands of employees, investors and customers as they arrived at corporate headquarters to walk the Million Mile Walk of Fame. The celebration also created time and space for drivers and leaders to share best practices and carry lessons learned back to the road.

J.B. Hunt has recognized more than 5,000 company drivers who have achieved at least 1 million safe miles. This year’s group also included four drivers who achieved 4 million safe miles and one who achieved 5 million, milestones reached by only a small number of elite drivers. All Million Mile drivers’ names were etched into the Million Mile Wall at corporate headquarters. On average, it took a driver approximately 7–10 years to achieve 1 million safe miles.

“You can tell a lot about a company by what it chooses to celebrate, and year after year our Million Mile celebration is our biggest opportunity to recognize the drivers who set the standard for safety,” said Nick Hobbs, chief operating officer for J.B. Hunt. “Multimillion-mile achievements are earned one decision at a time through preparation, disciplined habits and the judgment to do the right thing on every trip, in every condition, without exception. We are proud to recognize this class of drivers and their families, and as a company we will keep strengthening the support that helps everyone get home safely.”

Multimillion-mile milestones hinge on the drivers showing the focus, consistency and commitment it takes to operate safely. J.B. Hunt supports that commitment with ongoing training and coaching designed to reinforce safe habits on the road, including onboarding and refresher training as well as day-to-day guidance. The company also continues investing in tools and technology aimed at helping prevent incidents, including inward-facing cameras and advancements in collision mitigation systems.
