Five From CPC Logistics Named NPTC National Driver All-Stars

National Private Truck Council recognizes CPC drivers for excellence in professionalism, service and safety.

Five From CPC Logistics Named NPTC National Driver All-Stars

ST. LOUIS, September 11, 2023 — Five CPC Logistics truck drivers from across the United States were named National Private Truck Council (NPTC) National Driver All-Stars at the annual NPTC National Safety Conference September 7 in Orlando, Florida.

Every year NPTC National Driver All-Star awards are given to private fleet truck drivers who have demonstrated high performance standards against their peers throughout the country based on customer service, safety, adherence to company standards, regulatory compliance and community service.


During the awards ceremony the NPTC individually recognized the below CPC drivers:

• Angel Aguilar, assigned to Toyota Quality Parts Express in Torrance, California
• Anthony Gann, assigned to Procter & Gamble in Browns Summit, North Carolina
• Jeffrey Moniz, assigned to Walgreens in Woodland, California
• Brenda Stewart, assigned to John Deere in Davenport, Iowa
• Dane Harris, assigned to Fabri-Kal in Burley, Indiana

“I was stoked when I found out I was chosen for this award and that I’d be going to the NPTC conference in Orlando,” Gann said. “I’ve put in a lot of hard work over the past 15 years, so it’s nice to know people are watching and taking notice, but this only makes me want to work even harder.”

Since the program began in 2009, the NPTC has named 109 CPC Logistics truck drivers as National Driver All-Stars.

“It is a great honor to be among the many great drivers from CPC who have also won this award,” Stewart said. “I am fortunate to have found a career I love with great people and customers to work with.”

CPC’s ranks also include 12 drivers inducted into the NPTC Driver Hall of Fame and more than 155 drivers who have driven 1 million miles or more without a preventable accident.

“I’ve been named CPC’s Driver of the Month twice, but I’ve never been honored with an award like this,” Aguilar said. “After 18 years facilitating outstanding customer interactions and maximizing company loyalty, it feels good to work for an organization that recognizes employees for their hard work.”

NPTC is the only national trade association in the United States exclusively dedicated to representing private fleets.

“This award is something I will cherish for many years to come,” Harris said. “CPC puts a lot of trust in me to be able to take care of our customers, and they can count on me to continue to get the job done right.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
