Accomplishments
I’m a very hard worker. I’m an old school worker. You work from sun up till sun down. I’ve been #1 safety and fastest worked for one of the largest companies, Sysco Food Service. I’ve worked worked there for over 12yrs. But I’m needing something that would allow me a bit more flexibility due to my wife being diagnosed with a terminal illness. I’d like to be close to home in case of an emergency. I know the area like the back of my hand. I’m fast and believe in treating every customer’s product, no matter how big or small, with the upmost respect. I’m also a pastor of a small church. For years I’ve worked a hard job and devoted my after hours to my church, wife and home. I believe that today’s workforce have never been taught that you work with what you believe you’re worth, not what you’re wage is. If you feel your time is worth $25 per hour, but you’re only making $10 an hour, work like you’re making $35! Because if your attitude is “I don’t get paid enough to do that,” then you really are showing what you’re worth. I absolutely detest the words of “that’s not my job.” If I’m delivering to a customer and I see trash on the ground, I pick it up! I can and do drive in ANY weather. No accidents. A lot of that is thanks being to God, but the other is offensive/defensive driving.
