Maverick Transportation announced Eric Stikeleather of Statesville, NC, as their Driver of the Month for April 2024. Stikeleather has been driving with Maverick since 2021.
"Eric has been on my board for over a year now and we have gotten to know each other very well," said Fleet Manager Don VanderWal. "When I think of a Maverick driver I think of Eric. Eric is always willing to help his fellow driver and has also been helpful to newer Maverick drivers he runs into. Eric is not only a good Maverick driver, but also a truly good person. It has been a pleasure having Eric on my board."
The Driver of the Month program is a high honor for specially-selected Maverick drivers. Every month Maverick recognizes a driver from the company's fleet who demonstrates exceptional commitment to their profession, while maintaining Maverick's standards of holding safety in the highest regard. At the end of the year, all Maverick employees vote from the twelve Driver of the Month honorees to select the Driver of the Year, which is announced the following January. As Driver of the Month, the recipient also serves as a voice of fellow drivers on the prestigious Driver Advisory Council, which meets with our leadership team on a quarterly basis.
