Getting to Know - Larry Buss - Professional Driver - Aurora Parts


This is my second ride along with Larry.  This time we went on the daily Chicago Milk Run from Aurora parts in Lebanon, IN.  We started the day at 0530 and drove up I-65 as all the stops were in the south side of Chicago or the close south Chicago suburbs.  We did encounter all types of traffic including the dreaded rush hour on the Dan Ryan, while I did not hear his Bendex unit make a sound as he was really working hard to keep his space and get to the customers safely.
 
Larry displayed a great deal of skill maneuvering to each of the stops including the first stop that I had to get out of the truck to appreciate the precision of his driving.  Larry has a great relationship with all of his customers and they all did nothing but heap praise on him and let me know that the only complaint that they had was when Larry would take time off and we would send another driver to do the run.
 
Larry recently had his 10 year anniversary with the company and he has been with this account for nine of them.  He is also getting close to his one million safe miles that he should reach sometime next summer.  He is our driver trainer and he is also very helpful with the quarterly training and assists with unusual situations that may come up.  I appreciate his professionalism and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.
