2015 Driver of the Year Event Recap
Wednesday, February 3, 2016
For those of you who are unfamiliar with our Driver of the Month program/each year’s Driver of the Year event, you can check out our recap of last year’s event.
This year’s Driver of the Year banquet was a very special one indeed! It was a wonderful evening honoring our 12 Drivers of the Month and their spouses in attendance.
After a meet and greet and fellowship between the Drivers of the Month and Maverick’s office employees, we heard moving speeches given by Maverick CEO Steve Williams, President John Culp, and VP of Operations John Coppens.

As a special surprise, June 2015 Driver of the Month Troy Fegley and 2014 Driver of the Year Jimmy Fitzwater presented a very special gift to Kay Hendrix (lovingly known as “Momma Kay”) at the end of the banquet. She was given a plaque and a beautiful locket in recognition of her time at Maverick. Her legacy will never be forgotten, and she was moved to tears, as were the rest of us!

On Friday, the Summit conference was packed to the brim with office employees and drivers alike for the Driver of the Year presentation!

And then it was the moment we were all waiting for! Who was going to be named our 2015 Driver of the Year?
Roger Wyble! (Being congratulated by September DOM Joe Looney)
Roger was congratulated by the entire office!

Congratulations, Roger! We’re confident you’ll represent the fleet well as our 2015 Driver of the Year! We’re so proud of you!
