DECKER TRUCK LINE RECOGNIZES TOP DRIVERS FOR AUGUST

FORT DODGE, Iowa — Decker Truck Line, Inc. recently announced their Drivers of the Month for August 2007. Jim Rowe was selected for the honor from Decker’s Flatbed division, and Sammy “Mule” Boydston received the award for the Reefer/Van division.

Jim’s dispatcher, Sue Anderson, nominated him for this honor because he ‘s been an exceptional driver for his fiver years driving for Decker. “Jim will do whatever is asked of him and is very easy to work with,” she said. Immediately after Sue told Jim about his honor, Jim expressed his thanks to everyone at Decker who continues to make his job easier and more enjoyable.

Jim and his wife, Tammy, live in Marseilles, Ill., with their four children Melissa, Morgan, Megan and Mason. Because Jim’s family is so important to him, he spends as much time as possible with them when he’s not on the road – that also includes attending his children’s sporting events. The other thing you can find him doing in his off time is all kinds of projects around the house.

Sammy has been an extremely successful driver with Decker for more than three years now, and Marcia Goodale has been his dispatcher for the bulk of that. So, Marcia really knows what a great
driver Sammy is. “He is dependable and hard working,” she said.

Sammy and his wife, Rhonda, live in McPherson, Kan., with their two children Sunnie and Nicole. Just like Jim, Sammy’s main interest is spending time with his family when he is at home. Each month at Decker, dispatchers nominate drivers and owner-operators based on overall service and performance for that month. Operational productivity, safety records, maintenance/care of equipment (including idle time), payroll and billing, and customer service, are evaluated for each driver nominee to determine who is most deserving of the honor.

Each monthly award winner in 2007 is eligible to receive the award for 2007 Driver (or Owner-Operator) of the Year.
