Yellow Driver Honored as Lytx® Coach of the Year
June 22 2021 - 10:00AM
Yellow Corporation (NASDAQ: YELL) P&D driver, Herschel Evans,
has been named 2021 “Coach of the Year” by Lytx®, a global provider
of machine vision and artificial intelligence-powered video
solutions for trucking fleets.
Each year, Lytx honors trucking professionals
who champion safety and who go above and beyond in their work,
using the Lytx Driver Safety Program. Lytx recognized drivers in
six categories: government, services and utilities, transit/motor
coach, for-hire trucking, private trucking and
waste/construction.
“Herschel being honored for outstanding work, dedication and
excellence in safety is no surprise to me,” said Darren Hawkins,
Chief Executive Officer of Yellow. “He’s one of our best, most
top-notch employees – not only as a driver but also as a community
service leader. I’m proud of Herschel and glad to have him on our
team at Yellow.”
As a Yellow “Million Miler” driver, Evans has driven more than
three million accident-free miles and maintained a flawless driving
record. He has been honored with the 2018 Commercial Vehicle Safety
Alliance International Driver Excellence Award, the 2020
TravelCenters of America Citizen Driver Award and the 2021 CEO’s
Award at Yellow. An ambassador of safety and driver training, Evans
is a Road Team Captain for the American Trucking Association and is
a member of the Yellow Safety Committee and Accident Review Board
as well as the Mid-Atlantic Professional Truck Drivers Association.
He volunteers for Convoy of Care and founded the Safety Drive for a
Cure annual event, which benefits the Pediatric Brain Tumor
Foundation.
“It takes more than an outstanding on-the-job performance to be
selected for the Lytx Coach of the Year award,” said Del Lisk, Vice
President of Safety Services. “We look for a candidate who is an
outstanding performer at work but also someone who goes above and
beyond to make a positive contribution to their community and
society as a whole. With over 30 pages of safety commendations,
letters of community support and history of volunteer work,
Herschel’s selection was a no-brainer. Due to his outstanding
credentials, he was not only selected as the Coach of the Year in
the For-Hire trucking category, but also was selected as the top
coach overall for all six industry categories.”
“I’m very honored Lytx recognized me as its 2021 Coach of the
Year, and thank you to Yellow for numerous opportunities to serve
in leadership roles and in helping develop other fellow drivers as
safety champions,” said Evans. “It means a lot to me, being able to
help others become better, safer drivers and to have such a great
tool in the Lytx Driver Safety Program.”
Yellow uses the Lytx Driver Safety Program and DriveCam® Event
Recorders in its trucks to review any accidents and issues to
provide feedback and visual teaching for drivers, Yellow Driving
Academy students and terminal managers. The technology offers
Yellow leadership real-time insight into what drivers experience in
challenging day-to-day traffic conditions, allowing an opportunity
to engage with our drivers to identify and control exposure to
risk.
