Winning an award is an afterthought for the
knights of the road
For professional truck drivers, the on-thejob
focus revolves around delivering their load
and doing so while always remaining conscious
of their surroundings as to protect the safety of
themselves and motorists with whom they share
the road.
Winning an award is an afterthought for the
knights of the road, but when it does happen, they
feel honored.
Such is the case for Kelvin Haywood and Mike
and Bev Monahan, who were recently named
Company Driver of the Year and Contractor of the
Year at Dart Transit.
Haywood, who works regionally out of the St.
Louis area, earned the top honor as a company
driver, while the Monahans, who share the driving
duties on a dedicated account, were recognized
as the past year’s leading contractors with Dart.
Haywood and the Monahans were respectively
selected from a group of candidates who had
been previously honored as either company drivers
or contractors of the month with Dart in 2018.
In addition to the monthly award winners, the
field of nominees also included a small group of
company drivers and contractors who had compiled
outstanding years with Dart. During the first
quarter of this year, Dart’s management reviewed
the group of nominees, examining key metrics
from 2018 including active percentage, miles per
gallon, out of route miles and overall miles driven.
