Albert is our Central Region Driver of the Month for February for two main reasons outside of his typical solid all around performance. In late December Albert stopped to help a motorist that had been involved in a major collision on I-95. The motorist's parents were involved in the collision and both were fatal at the scene. Albert offered her support at the scene and stayed as a witness to answer questions from the police. This event was posted to Facebook by JBH and got quite a response! Below is an e-mail I received from Stan Hampton (Sr. Director Driver Personnel) about the event.
As previously stated, we posted this story on our CDP/Professional Driver Facebook page. It went viral with 90,000 'likes' currently from people sharing it and has over 5,000 comments.. Previously our highest 'like' count was around 105.. Albert used to recover bodies from wrecks such as the one he witnessed..he quit because the grieving families were just too much for him to take.. but when it counted he stepped up and did the right thing for this young lady survivor.. who is now enrolled in college and looking forward through this tragedy.. Definitely a nominee for Highway Hero"
Also, Albert saved the day for our customer as well in January. Robert Govekar (LLS Inbound Manager) contacted Brian Tabor late Friday afternoon on 1/25. He was looking for help on a hot shipment coming out of Long Island, NY for pickup and delivery on Saturday. Albert volunteered to run the shipment and had it picked up and delivered by 08:30 that Saturday! Needless to say Robert was very pleased.
Albert is a true professional and a kind hearted individual who truly cares about helping others. That being said, he was an easy choice for Limited DCS DOM for February!
