Congratulations to Al Skarya for being selected as the Central Region Driver of the Month for August. Al began his career with DCS on June 2, 1987! Thus Al has been with Dedicated for 29 years. During his tenure, Al has racked up over 3.8 Million Safe Miles! Al currently serves on the Toyota Owensboro Account where he delivers recall frames throughout the US. Congratulations Al!
Below is the write-up on Al:
Al deserves to be Driver of the Month because he is
a loyal 30-year employee with JB HUNT and has
3,807,825 SAFE Miles
with NO CSA POINTS. As Al tells the team every week, "Miles give me
smiles."
When it
comes to fuel ... He has NEVER missed
a Stop on the Toyota Account & has always been 100% compliant & it is
because of the effortless time he takes to plan his route accordingly.
For the
month of June, July & August... Al received ZERO log points.
Within
the past 12 months, Al has NO
MISSING LOGS and has NEVER had
a LOG LETTER in the past 5 years here on the Toyota
Owensboro account.
However,
anything more than ZERO log
points is too many for Al and would also be a surprise to not just him, but his
management team as well.
Al has NEVER had a Headway Monitoring
Event & is 200+ Days Critical Event Free!
Albert's
career here at JB Hunt speaks for itself with his respected history in safety
and performance. Al executes Customer Value Delivery by pursuing improvements
for the customers, drivers and even manager’s responsibilities. When the Toyota
Owensboro fleet purchased their new 50 Truck Mounted Forklifts, Al was the
first to suggest counterweights on the trailers to make the ride a lot smoother
going down on the road which saves money on equipment in the long run. Al wants
to do business the right way and is grateful to be a part of "One of
Americas Most Admired Companies."
Al loves to lighten the mood in the
office by cracking his jokes, but he may make his self-laugh the most. Outside
of work, he enjoys his toys. Al takes his Yamaha Royal Star 1300 CC out when
the weather is nice and his baby, a 2010 Dodge Challenger, when it is not.
Al calls himself a “Golf Hack,” he
loves to swing a club but can’t play. Outside of cooking stuffed shells,
golfing and fishing, Al and his brother Dicky, who retired from JB Hunt after
25 years, enjoy going to the movies. Al has excellent taste in what a great
movie is considering that his is Forrest Gump.
The best thing about Al is his love
for his family. Every time he walks in and sees us in the office, there is
always a new adorable picture of his 4-month old granddaughter Emberlyn. With 3
sons and 5 grand kids Al can’t wait to reach his 4 MILLION MILE AWARD so that
he can spend his time with them.
