Driver Feature A: I take pride in my job, no matter what I'm doing. Even though this truck is not mine, I treat it like mine. I wash it all the time. I spend money twice a year to get all the aluminum polished. I'm proud of representing Gordon. When I go to the shipper, I try to keep myself shaved. I change clothes, shower and keep myself presentable. I don't back talk or go in looking like a slob. Even though I'm a company driver, I still want to present myself well. I'm just that way. This all reflects on Gordon. Do I have good, bad or ugly days? Sure I do, but the next day is a new day and you start over. Q: How did you react when you learned you were GTI's Driver of the Month? A: I felt very honored. It's a nice thing I can put on top of my fireplace mantel. I wasn't striving for this award. I was just doing my daily job. I really enjoy my job and plan to work for as long as my good health continues. Q: What hobbies do you enjoy? A: Someday when I retire, I would like to go fly-fishing, but that's down the road. I'm just working and working, and when I go home, I'm still working. As soon as my feet land at home, I'm busy, busy until I get back in the truck. Sometimes my wife, Dinah, and I will go out for dinner or go to Kansas City for a play. We enjoy time together alone, and we make that happen when we're home. It doesn't take much for us. We enjoy our company together and our quiet time. bdj 50 April 2016 BestDriverJOBS www.bestdriverjobs.com
