Getting to Know - James Yates

This past week, Sam Djung of the Home Depot Account in Van Buren, OH was fortunate to do a ride along with James Yates.  James is a Regional Driver on the account and has been a valuable contributor to the team since he was hired back in July 2014.  We appreciate James and all of his hard work!
 
 
Below is the write-up from the RATLA:
 
Jim is a proud husband and father of seven children. His children range from 12 to 26 years old. Born in Indiana, raise in Akron and currently lives in Lima. His family is big into music. They have a family band that can sing, play guitar, drums and keyboard. They made their own album. His dream is to make it big in the music industry with his family band. Another fun fact is Jim also likes to DJ at Church, Birthdays and parties. He loves anything music related.
 
Jim listed off some of the things he likes about the job. Scale App – extremely convenient. He doesn’t have to worry getting out of his truck to get scale receipt nor worry about getting reimbursed. Also like the JB App even though you can’t see what you your next load assignment is. As far as PeopleNet is concerned, he almost quit over it, but now loves it as it helps manage his hours of service.  Overall, he likes the job, because it is easy. In the future, he wants to slow down and become a local driver. For right now, he prefers regional so he can maximize his time while here on the account.
