Central Region December 2013 Driver of the Month

 

Please join us in congratulating Tony Skrip, our Central Region Driver of the Month. Tony deserves to be the driver of the month for our region due to the help he provides his team in Monroe. He keeps the office staff in the loop in regards to maintenance of the yard trucks, supplies needed for the yard, and is our trainer for new switchers.

 

Tony is able to work with new hires on the computer system for the yard trucks and also going over the safety procedures of the account.

 

 

Tony has an excellent relationship with our customer. Tony works daily with Rick Purnell and Troy Williams in regards to where trailers are on the yard and what is actually wrong with them. If Rick has a question regarding anything, he will reach out to Tony for an answer. Tony also knows more about the Yard Management System than some of the employees at Home Depot. He has been working with the customer to help fix minor bugs in the system that hinder productivity.

Tony has over 1 million collision free miles while working for J.B. Hunt. Jeff Holle came to visit in December and told us a remarkable story a driver had told Jeff about Tony Skrip. A support driver had come to Home Depot from C&S and when they arrived they were unsure of where they needed to go. The support driver told Jeff Holle that one of the switchers was very helpful in showing him how to check in at the office and where his trailer would be.

 

It is rare that drivers from other accounts will remark on how helpful a driver was for them.

 

Congratulations Tony......You've earned it!
