DAVENPORT, Iowa — Davenport's Stuart Shuck, a truck driver for CPC logistics, has been inducted into the National Private Truck Council (NPTC) Driver Hall of Fame at NPTC's Annual Education Management Conference & Exhibition in Orlando, Florida, from April 21-23.
“I was surprised to find out that I was being honored in this way,” Shuck said. “It’s a big deal, but to me, it means that I am doing my job, and I am doing it right.”
Each year four drivers from across the country who have demonstrated a lifetime of excellence on the highways, in their companies and their community are inducted to the NPTC Driver Hall of Fame.
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 in order to qualify.
“Stuart is everything you could ask for in a professional driver and more,” CPC Operations Manager Kevin Adams said. “He is dependable, consistent, knowledgeable and always puts safety first."
According to a press release, Shuck is now part of the exclusive 152 driver group who have been recognized for their work as a truck driver.
Stuart's son, Stuart Shuck Jr., is following his father's footsteps as he is also assigned to drive for John Deere in Davenport and has driven 1,014,000 miles without a preventable accident since his career started in 2017.
