A driver can earn 1,000 Pro-Points for each green score in Safety, Compliance, Performance, and MK Elite (green in all three categories). This means you can get up to 4,000 Pro-Points!

Recognizing Driver Excellence

Our team would like to acknowledge a few of our drivers who have demonstrated exceptional levels of dedication, positivity, professionalism, and hard work. These drivers have been chosen for their remarkable contributions and commitment to excellence.

“Tina Barlow is one hard worker and a great driver. She is always willing to help out and go that extra mile! Tina really cares about her job and strives to do a great job every single day. I have come to learn this about her in the time I have been her DM.  She has a lot of knowledge and experience in the field and Tina is someone I know we can count on to get the job done. Not only that, but Tina is a great person all around. She has an amazing personality and a joy to work with. Tina is a great asset to our team!!” 

– Jon-Michael, Driver Manager

“Anthony ‘Antman’ Collins is quite simply the man out there. He transitioned to an OTR driver from 4 on 4 off, around the time I first started here and he has continually done a great job. I can rely on Anthony to pay attention to detail, and do the right thing every single time. He communicates very well every step of the way, and has a positive attitude the whole time. Anthony is never afraid to help us out and he stays out on the road for two weeks at a time for us which is not easy to do. As a matter of fact, this week Anthony is helping out by staying out an extra day, when he could go home. A testament to his exemplary effort. Thank you for all you do Anthony!”

– Kanen, Driver Manager

“Chris has been an Owner Operator with Marvin Keller since May of 2017. Chris is a hard worker and runs a consistent schedule which makes him reliable for us. I always know when he is going to be leaving out each week. Chris is a problem solver and anything he can take care of on his own he will. He will arrive early at locations and with his downtime; he looks over his truck and makes sure everything is in good working order. He can also take care of some of the repairs himself which helps with the repair cost. Overall, Chris does a great job for us, and that great job was recently noticed by one of our brokers Transloop. Matt said Chris has been on several of his loads and he has done a great job for him. This just goes to show that Chris is a professional handles himself in a professional manner in all he does.”

– Amy, Owner Operator Manager

“I want to give a huge shoutout to Travis Bartles for their exceptional dedication and passion for the job! Not only does he consistently deliver on time, but his attention to detail and genuine care for every load and customer is evident. It’s clear that Travis takes pride in what he does, bringing a positive attitude and a strong work ethic to every journey. We truly appreciate your commitment and the energy you bring to the road every day.”

– Andrew, Driver Manager

A huge thanks goes out to these drivers for their outstanding work. We appreciate all that you have done and continue to do to help us be the best carrier we can be. Keep up the great work!

Driver Spotlights

Every week, each of our driver managers takes a moment to acknowledge one of their drivers for their outstanding performance. We want to give a special thank you to the following drivers for their exceptional work, which serves as a great example of what it means to be an MK Driver.

Ken Newby – Plowed the snow from our drop lot in Mattoon – we appreciate it!

Randy Murphy & Jason Grigsby  – Helped Silgan in Seymour IN get a trailer that was frozen in the ice unstuck. Thank you for helping us keep our customers happy! 

Dave Bruchman – Helped fellow driver who had a trailer that slid off the fifth wheel get it back up enough to safely take to a shop and then followed her to make sure she made it.  Thank you for being so willing to help out

Brent Boehm – Brought a truck to the terminal from Sullivan on his day off for us. Thanks for being someone we can count on!

Arneld Theodore & Anthony Collins – Arneld jump started his own truck which saved us lots of time and hundreds of dollars on a service call. Anthony ordered parts and fix his truck’s heat over the weekend.  This also saved us downtime and lots of money for a mechanic. We appreciate the extra work from both of them!
