Driver of the Third Quarter: Adam Gordon

GOING THE EXTRA MILE AND DELIVERING MORE THAN EXPECTED

Congratulations to TMC’s Driver of the 4th Quarter 2019, Adam Gordon! Adam came to TMC nine years ago after reaching an impasse in his career. He knew it was time to find something new, so he took a leap of faith and enrolled in a CDL program at a local community college. During his time in the program, a TMC recruiter visited his class. Adam realized that TMC was where he wanted to work. Working in the trucking industry isn’t a typical 9 to 5 job, and that is what Adam likes about it. “The variety of work is what I like the best,” he says. “As long as you are steady and don’t get in a hurry, you can have success out here.” While gaining the title ‘Driver of the Quarter’ is a great accomplishment, the Virginia native is on to meeting his next goal, hoping to reach one million miles driven this year! “Without question, Adam is an exceptional representative of the TMC Family,” says his Fleet Manager, Kevin Kamakian. “He is a pleasure to work with, and I can put my full confidence in him to make sure he does the job safely and professionally.” “I’ve always had great relationships with my fleet managers and other team members, so I just hope to finish it all up here and make it to retirement. This is definitely a long-term commitment for me,” Gordon furthers. When Adam isn’t on the road, you can find him spending time with his wife, Jaime, and their five kids: Nate, Marissa, Natalie, Adrian and Charleigh. Criteria for Driver of the Quarter recognition includes years of service with the company, safe driving record, excellent customer service, professionalism and overall quality performance. Once a driver is named as a Driver of the Quarter, they are eligible to receive the prestigious Wheel Master Award.
