In the past week we had to reach out to a couple of drivers to assist us in some challenging deliveries.
In both cases our owner operators were there for us and more important they were there for each other.
In one we had a challenging delivery on a Government services delivery in downtown DC- it was a Sunday and we wanted to be sure that we had the best help possible- we had a very good driver already planned on the delivery and we asked another driver- John Southall to help because he was in the area. Even though it looked like Sunday would of been John's only day off in a while and agreed.
Our driver Mark and the customer was sure glad to have John on the job.
The other was on the other side of the country- we had a huge VIP and a 30,000 lb account move being delivered in southern CA- we called our driver extortioner- Skip Austin for his assistance. And just like John - Skip has been working and running hard but he agreed to head south to help our driver Rich.
As we all know labor on the road is always challenging, to say the least, so to have two top flight drivers head the delivery teams on both these jobs was a huge help.
It is just good to know that there are still people out there that care and that help each other.
Thank you John and Skip...and of coarse Mark and Rich.
Thanks for helping and for restoring our faith in each other.
