Sounds like they value you as a member of the team. Well done.
Chris
Last week Ryder asked me if I would like to help out with trianing new hires.
This is really more of an on boarding process since we are currently only hiring drivers with a least 2 years experience. I will take them out for a few days and show the the procedures on some of our most common runs, how to do their paperwork, ELD, etc.
I am no where near being one of the senior drivers in our fleet so I had to ask "Why me?" Safety driver gave following reasons: 1) In 18 months and over 200k miles I have had zero issues, not even a single HOS violation. 2) I communicate well. 3) I'm not an "A hole".
Not sure how often I will be needed but I said yes. I have to admit that it feels good to realize that they appreciate my preformance.
I find it sad that #3 has to be included but from what I see on a daily basis from some of our fellow truckers...well, let's just say there's a lot of type A personalities out here.

I can attest to that.
Congratulations Greg
