The son of a truck driver, Wyatt has driven for 51 years and nearly 5 mil- lion miles without a crash. "When I first started driving, I was nervous and didn't want to mess up," Wyatt says. "Each year that went by, though, I banked the things I learned and I kept going – and I kept learn- ing. After this many years on the road, I just know what I have to do and I do it. God blessed me with a natural talent and love for driving, and for that I am thankful." In submitting Wyatt's nomination, Schneider called Wyatt a willing ambassador for Schneider and the industry. He's Schneider's most deco- rated driver — and the only driver in the company's 80-year history to receive both Schneider's 40-Year Consecutive Safe Year Driving Award and the 4 Million Safe Miles Award. He is also a Schneider Haul of Fame inaugural inductee. In addition, Driver wins CVSA's excellence award Schneider National's Bob Wyatt
