CPC Logistics truck driver Stuart Shuck, who is assigned to drive for John Deere in Davenport, Iowa, was inducted into the National Private Truck Council (NPTC) Driver Hall of Fame at NPTC’s Annual Education Management Conference & Exhibition April 22 in Orlando.
Each year the NPTC Driver Hall of Fame inducts only four drivers from across the United States who have demonstrated a lifetime of excellence on the highway, in their company and in their community. To qualify, drivers must have a minimum of 3 million miles, 20 years or 50,000 hours of driving; no preventable accidents; and 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,” Stuart said. “It’s a big deal, but to me, it means that I am doing my job, and I am doing it right.”
CPC Operations Manager Kevin Adams has worked with Stuart for seven years. “Stuart is everything you could ask for in a professional driver and more,” Adams said. “He is dependable, consistent, knowledgeable and always puts safety first. Beyond his impressive driving record, Stuart is a genuinely great person. He goes out of his way to help anyone who needs it, from his fellow drivers to the John Deere team.”
Stuart has been employed with CPC for 26 years and driven more than 3 million miles without a preventable accident. He appreciates the stability, flexibility and work-life balance CPC Logistics offers its drivers.
“At CPC you always get your paycheck on time, you get to spend more time at home, and they give you good time off,” Stuart said.
Thirteen truck drivers from CPC have been inducted into the Hall of Fame since the program began in 1987, including Stuart and his brother-in-law Gerald Barth, who is also assigned to drive for John Deere in Davenport. After almost 40 years with CPC, Gerald has accumulated more than 4 million miles of safe driving. Stuart’s son, Stuart Shuck Jr., is following in the footsteps of his father and uncle. Assigned to John Deere in Davenport, Stuart Jr. has driven 1 million miles without a preventable accident since his driving career began in 2017. Combined, Stuart, Gerald and Stuart Jr. have driven over 8 million miles for CPC and John Deere.
