JK Moving Services named Al Bowman as the 2024 Long-Distance Driver of the Year. The award, which comes with a $5,000 bonus, is based on his commitment to outstanding customer service while embracing JK’s core values.
“Our business relies on excellent long-distance drivers. That’s why we recognize the very best every year. This year, we are excited to honor Al Bowman. His focus on providing the best possible service to all our clients, work ethic, and can-do attitude make him outstanding at his job,” stated JK Moving President David Cox.
Bowman hauled nearly 698,000 pounds last year while maintaining a stellar safety record and logging more five-star reviews than most other JK drivers. He joined the company in 2017 and is based out of Gaston, SC.
Brian Eckert, of Milwaukee, placed second and is a repeat winner. Third place was Carlos Medina, of Herndon.
The awards were announced during JK’s annual Long-Distance Driver Conference, a two-day event that gives the drivers the chance to gather and share experiences with their peers as well as learn about updates from the corporate team.
To recruit and retain top drivers, JK offers an annual guaranteed income for experienced Over-the-Road Class-A CDL Drivers of at least $100,000. JK also has extensive training and ongoing career development, a formal wellness program, a safe harbor 401(k) and company-paid profit-sharing program, tuition reimbursement, and paid time off. In addition, we provide an Employee Assistance Program; comprehensive medical, dental vision, and ancillary benefit coverage; bonus incentives; and employee volunteer opportunities, including with the JK Community Farm.
