Below is the write-up from Marco's Management on Tom:

In the past year and a half Tom Smith has been with JB Hunt, he has shown great pride in his work. Tom is a great example of what our safety culture is all about at JBH. He hand unloads 82,500 lbs a week down a ramp safely every week. There is so much physical labor that goes in to his job and its not the only thing he focuses on.

He is dedicated to his customers and their positive experience with JB hunt. He is a true leader at our account with CVD and lives it out everyday. He takes time after every route to walk around and give good feed back to the MPD staff. Tom checks in every route to ask for feed back on what he can do better. He is the first one to step up every time we are looking for capacity help as well.

On the customer service front, here is some recent feedback we received about Tom from our customer: "I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful commitment from your team of drivers, all of your drivers have the most up respect for the job. However there is one driver that I would like to take the time to point out, Tom has done some wonderful work and for MPD keeping our customers happy and ready. He is always glad to report information not only back to the JB hunt management, but back to MPD as well. He helps keep MPD in the loop whether it’s about safety concerns with MPD & J.B. hunt equipment or the way his trailer is loaded. Tom makes our customers happy and makes a great Representative to our company as well as J.B. Hunt, keeping our customers informed on how to get credits and how to prepare for delivery’s. Tom will go out of his way to make sure the job gets done and the customer is satisfied. Joseph Williams - Customer Service/ Quality Assurance Manager."

When asked about Tom, here is how our MPD Operations Supervisor Chris Wulf describes him. "Hardworking, team orientated and safety conscious are just a few highlights of his personality. Tom never complains, and always is a team player. He always does an excellent pre-trip inspection. His laid back attitude shows in his driving, he is not in a hurry and always follows the Smith System keys. When we need someone to count on, despite the situation or why things are the way they are, Tom is always willing to do what he can to make our account, and JBH shine."

Tom also boasts some of the top fuel stats and RAIR point numbers on the MPD account.
