2025

Maverick Transportation announced Kurt Shunkey of Conway, AR, as one of their 2025 Trainer Finalists. Shunkey has been a road trainer for 4 years.

"Kurt has always been a great pleasure to work with," said Fleet Manager Troy Jackson. "He has the perfect personality for this job and deeply cares for his students. He ensures they are the most prepared they can be when they go solo. He keeps in contact with his students, and in turn, they know that they can reach out to him if anything should arise while they are in their own units. On a side note, Kurt has always been willing to above and beyond when we reach out to him for anything at all. Thank you, Kurt, for all you do, and I look forward to working with you for many years to come."
