February 2015 DOM

Charles Wooten (“Mr. Charles”) is our most tenured DIS at the Chantilly LDC.  He first started his career with JBH back in 2009 at our Hayward Final Mile account, after many years with the previous provider and later became a successful Builder Specialist.  He transferred to the South Region to the Chantilly LDC as a DIS.  His years of knowledge and expertise provide great coaching and training to everyone around him.

Charles is a trainer and has done a fantastic job on-boarding new hires.  Charles makes the work environment a pleasure for all and has played a key role in the turnover reduction at the LDC.  He takes pride in what he does but more importantly wants to see everyone around him develop and be just as good as he is. Charles is always prepared to speak at the weekly meetings and adds value to the Manager and Builder Specialists every week. Having this kind of mindset gives him a bright future and makes him a huge asset to the company.

In all layers of management, the opinion of Charles is that he is the kind of driver everyone needs.  A guy that makes decisions based on safety and standard operating procedures.   Charles is always ahead on training and compliance items.  The team looks up to him because he is patient and provides great advice on many things.  He’s extremely easy going and does whatever he needs to do in order to get the job done safely and to provide each and every customer with a positive “JB Hunt Experience” type of delivery.  Since his skills are so well rounded, he is normally assigned to the more difficult installations and if he isn’t, he is on the phone providing guidance to the assigned DIS.  We are proud and honored to nominate Charles as the February 2015 Driver of the Month for the Chantilly VA LDC. 

In his spare time, Charles enjoys spending time with his wife (Tanya) and watching all kinds of sports, and golfing whenever possible.  Charles has 2 daughter, Estasia – 28 and Nina - 26, who have both graduated college (Arkansas and Cal State, respectively).  Charles also enjoys every moment and new memory with his 2 grandchildren, Kirra – 5 and Jair - 1 yrs old.
