Northeast Region Driver of the Month June 2021

 

Please me in congratulating Dawn Maine-Maglio for being selected as the June 2021 driver of the month.   Dawn is based out of the Bobs Discount Furniture account in Connecticut. Dawns team submitted the following on why she deserves this selection.  Dawn is the definition of  prime driver of the month. I would say driver of the year from the trend and base line she is setting. Multiple times during last second surge I would need to switch her to double Melville runs to get all runs covered. Without hesitation she would take the layover. She cancelled one of her PTO days to assist the account. She even ran a double that night! July 4th weekend her and a family member took 2 down trucks to WL as in her words “why would you pay for a tow when you have me”. She was going to take a third, but the unit would not start. One night there was a callout at a supporting facility. Dawn had just completed her 2nd run and had 3 hours on her clock. I had another driver on the fleet meet her halfway to take the trailer down to north Bergen to ensure on time delivery. Saved me a late and kept the account above 99% prior to a mid-year business review. Again, no hesitation whatsoever. Day to day task such as pre-trips are always done. Out of the 5 times I hid in the parking lot she was 1 out of 6 doing her pre trips 100% of the time. During my observation she used the smith system, and I even went in front of her and slowed down. She adjusted her distance perfectly. My mind is at ease when Dawn is on the road. She is there to help and wants the account to be successful. She is uncomfortable heading to new locations and was promised 2 days of training on a lane. The training turned out to be one day and she completed a run before hand by following the other driver. She gets the job done regardless of the situation.

  For her selection Dawn will become eligible for the prestigious driver of the year , receive a cash award and recognition at the annual kick off meeting in January 2022.
