JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(AutomotiveWire)--April 11, 2002

Arnold Transportation Services' road drivers, Robert "Dwight" Spurlock and Arthur L. Rhodes, were honored as the 2nd & 3rd place finishers respectively, in the 2001 Company Equipment Driver of the Year contest held annually by the Truckload Carriers Association. The presentations were made at the annual convention on March 5, 2002.

Five winners were selected from more than 1200 contestants, with the top three recipients earning an extensive list of prizes, including an expense paid trip to the 2002 California 500 NASCAR race in Fontana, CA.

The selection criteria were based on each driver's performance record, their ability to operate in a safe manner over the public highway system, their effort toward the enhancement of the public image of the trucking industry and their positive contributions to the community in which they live.

Mr. Spurlock has been on the road for 23 years, and has spent the last 16 years with Arnold Transportation. He has driven 2,831,362 miles, all accident free. He has received the SilverEagle Trucking Million Mile Award, the Arnold Transportation Million Mile Award, the Joe Castleberry Award and first place in the Company Truck Driving Championship Rodeo. Dwight lives with his wife, Robin, and their two children in Arlington, Georgia.

Mr. Rhodes has logged almost two million accident-free miles in his 22 years of driving. Employed by Arnold Transportation for the past 14 years, he is a certified trainer, a member of the Million Mile Club and a regular attendee at safety meetings and driving championships, to offer the most current information and techniques to his trainees. Arthur lives with his wife Ella, in Fort Worth, Texas. They have four children and two grandchildren.

Arnold Transportation Drivers, Mitchell Favors and Eldridge Graham, took the 1st and 10th spots respectively in the 2000 contest. Michael Walters, President of Arnold Transportation, was quoted as saying, "Dwight and Arthur, along with the success Mitchell and Eldridge had in last years contest, exemplify the quality of individual our company has the good fortune to employ. We're very proud to have them as part of the Arnold team and congratulate them on their outstanding career accomplishments."
