I help put units back in service for out of town. Help drivers when they have questions. I also take care parts. When parts get delivered, I put parts in inventory. I was hired on as a truck washer in NOL 1991, from there I went to work as a Maintenance for the shop for awhile. Worked in the body shop, then I went to work in Parts, then I transferred to the trailer shop.i also worked on Forklift to help out when needed. I worked in trailer shop until 2009. After Hurricane Katrina I transferred to Houston, I worked in Trailer shop after we moved to the new shop I went back in parts. Then I moved up to Trailer Lead. Worked as a Lead for awhile then I was sent back to the floor to work. Around 2023 they needed a 2nd shift Lead at that time I was helping and then I moved in the Lead spot.
