Getting to Know - Mark Vazquez - Professional Driver The Home Depot - Monroe

Mark Vazquez (VAZM) Professional Driver Home Depot Monroe




Lena Howard (Logistics Coordinator) rode with Mark Vazquez recently.  Here is what she learned:

Mark is married and has 3 children and lives in Columbus, OH.   He has custody of his two younger children and an older child that visits in the summer months from out of state.  He is a huge Iowa fan and lived there for many years.   His wife is currently doing internship in criminal justice.

While working for Werner Transportation, Mark was referred to JBH by Josh Davis (DAVJ0) in Columbus.   Mark would see Josh at various shippers and Josh was always telling Mark what a great Company JBH was and that the pay was great.   Mark was a yard spotter for several years and forklift operator for 14 years prior to Werner.


His passion is driving a semi and loves being behind the wheel.    When asked what he likes best about JBH – He said he likes the people in the office and looks forward to the quarterly and monthly safety training.  He said “being a new Driver, he learns something new that he did not learn during his training at Werner”.  When asked to give an example of something new learned, he said “he enjoyed learning how long it takes for his unit to cross an intersection”.    He also said he wife engages in the safety training with him and is learning a lot as well.  He said, she has gotten to the point that when they travel together, she points out things she sees other drivers doing wrong, that she has learned from the safety training she views with him.  Something they can share together.
