Mike often has a trainee with him that he spends the needed time with to ensure they know the job when they get their own truck. Mike cares about his co-drivers and doing the job right, and does so in a low key, get the job done without fanfare sort of way. It is a privilege and honor to get to work with Mike day in and day out.” Congratulations, gentlemen, on this well-deserved distinction!
