Getting to Know - Daniel Adkins - Professional Driver - Family Dollar Morehead


Daniel is married and has a 7-month old son, Remington, who favors his father. Daniel and his wife both work to make a decent living for their family. Daniel was hired on 5/10/2016.  Family Dollar is a very demanding and physical account and Daniel knows what demands are made of the driver and what it takes to be successful on this account. Daniel has expressed his interest in becoming a trainer to his Manager.  While we were unloading the trailer we talked quite a bit about how the trailers were loaded, the difficult situations they face when backing into their stores as well as attitude of the drivers and managers. At this point I asked Daniel why he wanted to become a trainer on the account and he expressed his feelings that if drivers are trained properly when they come on to the account it will not only help the new driver but the overall quality of how they perform on this account. How a driver interacts with the customers as well as his driving skills ultimately affects everyone on the account. Daniel expects to be with us for quite a while and he wants to help make sure the account is successful.  I told Daniel the good news as we were unloading, that he was in fact chosen to become one of our back up trainers and he looks forward to helping the fleet as much as he can.
