Getting to Know - Shawn Moore

Recently, DMIT Olivia Brewer conducted a RATLA with Home Depot Monroe Driver Shawn Moore.  Shawn was hired back in April, and resides in Dayton OH!  Shawn is a valuable member of Team Monroe, and does a fantastic job servicing our customer!

 

 

 



Below are some additional details about the ride along:

 

Shawn Moore has a big personality and a big dedication to safety. She started driving trucks in 1989, and stopped in ’95 to raise her two children. She got back into truck driving after graduating from the University of Cincinnati with a bachelor’s degree in African American Culture Studies and a minor in real estate. In her spare time, Swan also writes and records her own music. She has produced several songs since she started singing/songwriting when she was 21 years old. Her most recent recorded song was a country/rap song about truck driving. During my 10-hour ride along with Shawn, along with feeling the safest I have ever felt on a ride along, there was never a dull moment in the cab. Swan’s outgoing character and driving experience make her a huge asset to have on our team here at Home Depot Monroe.

Shawn was very complimentary about our flexibility with her and her schedule. The only concerns she had were about pay and equipment. She is concerned with her miles being low which is causing her paychecks to be smaller. I explained to her that with her delayed schedule in the morning, the long hauls to WV or IL are already out the door. Additionally, she would really prefer to be put in the same truck every day. Having to jump around from truck to truck and get used to each one causes more delay during the day.
