A Walmart truck driver was recently awarded a brand new Peterbilt truck for reaching three million safe, consecutive miles.

59-year-old Steve Purks has been driving with Walmart for 26 years and, during that time, he has only been involved in four incidents, none of which put him at fault. In light of this accomplishment, Walmart didn’t award Purks with a certificate or a pat on the back, but with a brand new blue Peterbilt, loaded with any and all of the features Purks desired.

“This is a rare milestone for our drivers, as it recognizes consecutive, not cumulative, safe miles and takes more than 20 years to reach,” said Ryan Curell in Walmart’s corporate communications to the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star.

With the daily driving out there today, that [3 million miles] is really impressive,” said Todd Cribbs, safety manager for the Walmart Distribution Center.

“We’re so proud of him. Steve is absolutely a class act,” Cribbs continued.

Purks has been leaving his home near Westmoreland County, Virginia in order to drive 3,500 miles across the country every week for the last half decade and says he has seen some things over-the-road that would make you cringe.

“You don’t even wanna know what I’ve seen,” Purks said when asked about his experiences on the road.

“One woman recently ran into the side of my truck near Martinsburg, W.Va., then proceeded to keep going, even though half her door was ripped off. When she finally stopped driving, she started walking—right down the middle of Interstate 81,” he said.

“The biggest thing now is texting, they’re on the phone all the time,” Purks continued.

“I try to stay away from as many people as I can, especially in weather… You don’t want to get caught in a cluster. Something’s gonna happen.”

“He has a sixth sense. He sees stuff farther down the road,” Purks wife, Lynn, explained.

Now Purks gets to relish all his hard work and quick thinking by taking to the road in a brand new truck featuring leather interior and captain’s chairs, a flat screen TV, microwave, mini fridge, toaster oven, and even a bunk bigger than a full size bed.

Even with a new, decked out ride, Purks plans to drive for only another five or six years before retiring from the road.

“I’ll get to hunt more,” he chuckled.
