I was hired on as OTR but after only 6 months I had a run that sent me over to NM to a Arrons store for delivery. Apon my arrival the manager informed me that he was in a cast with broken leg and all but 1 other employee were out sick so it may take them awhile to unload. Despite the company rules of us not helping unload our trailers, I could not stand there and watch this man with a broken leg try to lift and move a couch and washer and dryers out of my 53ft trailer. Being as I always take accountability of my actions good or bad I informed customer i was not allowed but my morals could not let me watch this and I proceeded to unload the truck for them.

2 weeks later I walk into my DM office in Florida to which he asked me if I unloaded a my truck in NM. I told him the situation and told them I did and then he informed me that our corporate office was called from that manager praising what i did and our corporate office is offering me a dedicated route that would get me home weekly and every weekend.
