Schneider National Driver Marks 4 Million Safe Miles
GREEN BAY, Wis. – November 20, 2009 – Thirty-six years is a remarkably long time to drive for a single transportation company. Four million miles is a remarkably long distance to travel. But to drive for 36 years and log 4 million miles without having one single accident? That accomplishment is beyond remarkable. And it was recently achieved by a man who considers himself anything but.
Bob Wyatt is one of just a few drivers in Schneider National’s 75-year history to achieve the
4-million safe mile mark. He’s a down-to-earth guy with a great, dry sense of humor. (When asked how he felt when he reached four million miles, he responded, “Tired!!”)
Wyatt started with Schneider in 1973 and stayed because of the strength, stability and security of the company. “I found a home here,” he says. “I work with good people who have our best interests at heart.” And how did he achieve his milestone? “No one can tell anyone else how to drive safely for millions of miles or even to town and back,” said Wyatt. “You do it one mile marker at a time, keeping your mind clear and your cell phone in the trailer.”
