Congratulations to Dave Ivey for being selected Driver of the Month for September for the Central Region! Dave was chosen from close to 1,100 Professional Drivers! Dave currently serves as a regional driver on our Home Depot Account in Monroe, OH. Dave's flexibility and willingness to not only help the Home Depot Account, but also others in the region set him apart. Congratulations Dave!
Below is the write-up from the Monroe Team:
Relationship with
Customer –
Dave’s relationship with the
customer is rivaled by few. Many of the warehouse employees and THD’s
transportation team know him by name and treat him as a go-to driver.
Oftentimes when THD has a hot item or a task that needs completely promptly and
with excellence, they’ll specifically request that Dave be assigned to the job.
Dave is one of the few drivers that has such a strong relationship with the
warehouse and office staff at THD, and the value this provides THD has been
called out several times. When our yard or shuttle operation are strained, the
transportation team for THD frequently requests Dave’s help. Dave is a wealth
of knowledge regarding the equipment and our operations, and is often called
upon by THD and account management to consult on how to approach specific
issues. Dave’s experience, attitude, and knowledge set him apart from the rest.
Description of Driver
of the Month –
Dave is by far one of the hardest
working drivers that Monroe has ever seen. Not only is he hard working, but his
quality of work is top-notch. Dave is one of the most flexible drivers on the
fleet; whether he’s yard switching in an Ottawa unit, store deliveries in a
regional sleeper cab, or completing trailer inspections, Dave shows up to work
every day with a smile. Most recently Dave was asked to alter his schedule and
assist another account, the Kimball startup in Jasper, IN. To put this in
perspective, Dave currently works a night shift, staying local on the yard or
shuttle operation for the Monroe account. When we called Dave to ask him to
switch his schedule to days, stay out all week in a sleeper truck, and
hand-unload a delivery, his response was “If that’s what you need, I’ll do it.”
Not only was he willing to help, Dave got great reviews from the account.

Dunham writes: “Dave came to the account
during the first few weeks of the Kimball International startup. In no time, he
proved himself to be a Rockstar and without a doubt helped the Kimball
International startup be as successful as what it was. Dave not only delivered
freight with great customer care but also helped the office by training &
managing drivers, organized equipment, sorting through paperwork, organizing
maintenance repairs & decaling, and auditing the equipment that was newly purchased.
He is one of the highest quality drivers I have ever gotten to work with and
deserves this very prestigious award!”
We’re proud
to nominate Dave as the September Driver of the Month for the Home Depot Monroe
team.
