The “Driver of the Year” honor is one of Ryder’s oldest and most
prestigious awards programs celebrating 52 continuous years of
recognition. Winners are chosen through a rigorous review process
conducted by a committee of Ryder executives, safety experts, and
professional drivers. This year’s three standouts demonstrated
exemplary safety, performance, and customer service throughout
their careers.
“It’s an honor to have such exceptional individuals like Darryl
and Anslum on the Ryder team, as well as Richard on our customer’s
team, as some of the best drivers in the industry,” says Robert
Sanchez, chairman and chief executive officer of Ryder. “These
honorees embody the core values of our company in both their
professional and personal lives.”
Darryl Tolle received Ryder’s Supply Chain Solutions’
“Driver of the Year” award. With more than 41 years of experience
behind the wheel, Tolle has driven 3.5 million miles, with 2.8
million of those miles during his 35-year tenure with Ryder. As a
retired Kentucky Army National Guard Sergeant First Class with 32
years of service, Tolle has a distinguished military record,
including natural disaster response, chemical security force
protection, and clearing IEDs in Afghanistan.
Anslum Hudlin won for Ryder’s Dedicated Transportation
Solutions, where drivers are responsible for operating specialized
equipment, overseeing unique product handling, navigating complex
routes, and meeting stringent customer service requirements. With
nearly 3.8 million miles on the road, including almost 600,000
miles during his eight years with Ryder, Hudlin has had a
remarkable 43-year driving career. Before joining Ryder, he served
in the U.S. Army for seven years as a senior heavy-vehicle
operator. Beyond his professional life, Hudlin is deeply involved
in his community. Hudlin is married with two children, and he and
his wife have fostered more than 70 children. He also serves as a
deacon and youth director at his church, organizes fundraisers and
a prom for disadvantaged students at his local high school, and
coaches little league football.
Richard Landry won Ryder’s Fleet Management Solutions
“Customer Driver of the Year” award. With 4 million miles on the
road over his impressive 38-year driving career, Landry has
demonstrated exceptional dedication and skill. Landry also has the
distinction of being the first ever Canada-based FMS Customer
Driver of the Year. Landry’s commitment to safety has saved lives
on the road. He was first on the scene of an accident where he
rescued a mother and baby from a rolled-over car leaking fuel. In
another incident, Landry helped pull a family out of an SUV that
rolled over after losing control. Landry proceeded to call 911 and
waited with the family until help arrived.
