What jobs at Kimal did you hold before becoming a CDL Driver?

I’ve been a CDL driver the 44 years.  I started in a lumber yard in 1982 in my senior year in high school, in Muncie, Indiana. 

What’s your favorite part of your delivery driver role? 

Just driving and going to different places every day.

 What’s the most “memorable” experience you’ve had while at work here? (Humorous or amazing story?)

One of the deliveries I remember the best was when I was making a delivery in Myakka City, out in the middle of nowhere, and they wanted me to go across a very rickety bridge. The only other option was to drive through the creek.  I decided to drive through the creek.  It was about eight miles off the main road. 

Would you like to comment on why you’ve stayed with Kimal for 13 years, and counting?

It’s a great job and great people to work with! 

What about family members….and how do you spend your leisure time? 

I have a great family… I enjoy cooking on the smoker.
