J.B. Hunt company driver Elvis, who
surpassed four million safe miles driven recently, walks the red
carpet with his family during the 2025 Million Mile Walk of Fame at
company headquarters in Lowell, Ark.
Each year, J.B. Hunt hosts the new class of Million Mile drivers
and their families at corporate headquarters for a multi-day
celebration featuring an awards ceremony with live entertainment,
engaging discussions with company leadership, and the Million Mile
Walk of Fame, a 24-year annual tradition.
“When we talk about the best of the best, we’re talking about
the people here this week,” said Nick Hobbs, chief operating
officer for J.B. Hunt, during the company’s Million Mile Walk of
Fame. “Last year we surpassed our own company safety record set in
2023 for reducing DOT preventable accidents. These drivers are
essential for that progress by the example they set and the
knowledge and training they share. This is their Million Mile
moment, and I’m proud, humbled and honored that they choose to
drive with J.B. Hunt.”
This year’s Million Mile drivers and their families, led by an
emphatic entrance from the Bentonville West High School marching
band, made their way along a 300-foot red carpet that spanned two
buildings. They were first greeted by the company’s executive
leadership team, who thanked each for their long-term commitment to
safety excellence and expressed how grateful they are to have them
as part of the J.B. Hunt family. The remainder of the Walk of Fame
featured cheers and high-fives from thousands of company employees,
customers, investors and guests who lined the red carpet to
celebrate.
With this year’s class, J.B. Hunt surpassed 5,000 company
drivers to achieve at least one million safe miles. This year’s
group also included five drivers who achieved four million safe
miles, an accomplishment that only elite drivers have achieved. All
Million Mile drivers’ names are etched into the Million Mile Wall
at corporate headquarters. On average, it takes a driver
approximately 7-10 years to achieve one million safe miles.
