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.
