Ron Mahar Inducted Into NPTC Hall of Fame

CPC driver Ron Mahar, who is assigned to drive for Walgreens in Houston, Texas, was inducted into the National Private Truck Council (NPTC) Driver Hall of Fame during NPTC’s Annual Education Management Conference & Exhibition May 8 in Orlando, Florida.

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.

“It’s nice to be recognized for doing my job,” Ron said. “My philosophy has always been to do the best job I can do and with integrity. I try my best to do it right even when no one is watching.”

Ron has been a professional driver since 1972 and employed with CPC since 1989. He appreciates the work-life balance, stability and flexibility CPC offers.

“I enjoy my job,” Ron said. “I like that I am home almost every night, and I still get to do all the driving I want. Plus, I’ve worked with some wonderful people at CPC and Walgreens over the course of my career.”

CPC Division Manager Richard Jones has worked with Ron for more than 15 years.

“Ron is the ultimate professional,” Richard said. “He is very good at what he does—he has even taught me a thing or two—and he is always willing to share his knowledge with the younger generation of drivers coming into the industry.”
