The 2024 Million Mile driver class spent the last few days at company headquarters with their families, management and executive leadership team celebrating their million-mile moment. On average, it takes a driver between seven and 10 years to reach one million safe miles. Among this year's class is J.B. Hunt’s third driver to achieve five million miles and its first to be honored with Women in Trucking’s Driver of the Year award.
The peak of the celebration was the Million Mile Walk of Fame. Drivers and their families walked the red carpet throughout the company’s Lowell campus where they were cheered on by hundreds of employees, ending with words of gratitude from company executives.
Since 1996, J.B. Hunt has awarded more than $38 million in safe driving bonuses to nearly 5,000 company drivers and has hosted the Million Mile event dating back to 2001.
