Family Dollar Morehead would like to give a HUGE Thanks to Jeff Holle, Dustin Hatfield and Anthony Warchol for coming to Family Dollar Morehead on Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st to work on building frames for the boxes for our Training Trailer!
We couldn't find or take the time from the account to get this project started and they graciously offered to come and help us out. Anthony was out there all day with them as well filling the boxes with gravel for weight while Jeff and Dustin built frames. A special thanks to Carl Griffin, Brenda Hardin and Cliff Davis of Family Dollar for allowing us to use their shop to do our building in.
Ashley, Indiana and now Morehead, Kentucky have built a simulation training trailer for their new hire drivers. We used varying boxes in size to get the true concept of an actual trailer. We added frames and weight to the boxes, FD allowed us to use some of their totes and we added various weights to them., Anthony bought cases of water and gallons of water to simulate other products, boxes heavy enough to equal cases of bleach and bags of gravel to simulate pet food. This will allow the new hires to actually see what it is like to throw freight before they actually get on the trainer trucks.
We want to prepare our drivers as much as we can because this is such a physically demanding account. Whether it is Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall we face all the elements of nature with the cold, heat, humidity, rain, snow, etc. Having this training trailer is a huge advantage to our accounts.
Again, Thank you Jeff, Dustin and Anthony for all your help!!
