What does this have to do with drivers

I have posted many blogs on several topics, education, kids, leadership.

I have been asked - what do certain topics like education have to do with drivers?

That may be the mind set of most people on drivers. Almost like they are some kind of neanderthal.....
Drivers DO NOT JUST DRIVE.

They are businessmen.

Businessmen with families and children.

Drivers have to manage and train....daily,

They have relationships, children and loved ones.

I have the utmost respect for drivers, they have to juggle all they do and their families and all while driving hundreds of miles every week if not daily.

These post and topics are just as relevant for our drivers as they are for all of our agents and business people throughout the country......maybe even more...

Oh yea and because that driver sacrifices every day by being away from his family I am able to have a job along with hundreds of other office personnel.

We are all spokes in the wheel and we need each other, the driver needs the sales men and women to sell jobs so that he has work to put on his truck, you need operations to plan and customer care reps to speak to the customers and the accounts, you need the registration clerks to file and billing and accounting to do their jobs so that the driver can get paid properly and timely for his hard work, we need our agent family to sell work, help with providing labor when we roll into their town, we need our people in safety to provide our Federal Government with all they need so that we can travel the highways safely and legally, from the gentlemen who handles our mail to the clerk who files a folder.....we are all needed and a part of the process.

IT IS ALL CONNECTED...WE NEED EACH OTHER.

The biggest difference is I go home each night to my family while our drivers are driving to their next assignment and prepare to walk up a new set of stairs and introduce themselves to another stressed person having to move all of their personal belongings.

GOD BLESS ALL OUR DRIVERS
