A local truck driver is the newest member of the National Private Truck Council (NPTC) Driver Hall of Fame.
Stuart Shuck, a CPC Logistics truck driver from Rock Island who drives for John Deere in Davenport, has been inducted into the NPTC Driver Hall of Fame. NPTC is the only national trade association in the United States that’s exclusively dedicated to representing private fleets.
Only four drivers from across the U.S. are inducted into the NPTC Driver Hall of Fame each year. Inductees have shown excellence on the highway and in their companies and communities. Drivers must have a minimum of three million miles, 20 years or 50,000 hours of driving to qualify; no preventable accidents, be regularly employed or leased full-time at an NPTC member company and actively driving at the time of induction.
“I was surprised to find out that I was being honored in this way,” said Shuck. “It’s a big deal, but to me, it means that I am doing my job, and I am doing it right.”
“Stuart is everything you could ask for in a professional driver and more,” said CPC Operations Manager Kevin Adams, who has worked with Shuck for seven years said. “He is dependable, consistent, knowledgeable and always puts safety first.”
Shuck has worked for CPC for 26 years and has driven 3,042,696 miles without a preventable accident. The stability, flexibility and work-life balance CPC Logistics offers its drivers is appreciated. “At CPC you always get your paycheck on time, you get to spend more time at home, and they give you good time off,” said Shuck.
Shuck was inducted into the Hall of Fame at NPTC’s Annual Education Management Conference & Exhibition held April 21-23 in Orlando. “Beyond his impressive driving record, Stuart is a genuinely great person,” Adams said. “He goes out of his way to help anyone who needs it, from his fellow drivers to the John Deere team.”
NPTC has honored 152 drivers from across the nation’s top private truck fleets since the program began in 1987. Thirteen truck drivers from CPC Logistics, including Shuck, have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. CPC has 104 NPTC Driver All-Stars and over 155 drivers who have driven one million miles or more without a preventable accident. For more on the Hall of Fame, click here.
