Matt Dosland Inducted into NPTC Driver Hall of Fame

Matt Dosland, a CPC truck driver 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 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, within their companies and in their communities. 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 am truly honored to be recognized and represent CPC and John Deere in this way,” Matt said. “This is an exciting milestone.”

CPC Regional Manager Kevin Adams has worked with Matt for more than 9 years.

“Not only is Matt an excellent driver, but he is also a dependable employee who sets a positive example for others,” Kevin said. “He trains many of our new drivers, which requires a lot of patience and dedication.”

With an impressive record of safe driving, Matt is not just a trainer but a role model. He has been employed with CPC for 27 years and driven more than 3 million miles without a preventable accident.

“I tell new drivers to always pay attention to their surroundings and leave themselves plenty of time and space to react to anything that may suddenly happen in front of them, like a car braking or an obstacle in the road,” Matt said.

When he is not behind the wheel, Matt serves as a volunteer firefighter for the Davenport Fire Department.

“Matt always does the right thing regardless of whether or not anyone is looking,” Adams said.
