Commercial Delivery Driver
I think the reason I am a great driver is because I treat every package like it is my own. Not every package is frivolous and purchased by someone with tons of money. I could be delivering a delicate car part to someone who spent a large portion of their paycheck on it and needs that part to drive to their job. I understand that every item I deliver needs to be treated with respect, and I haven’t let a single person down yet.
I have managed to successfully deliver 100 percent of the items I was scheduled to deliver and have not been called in for one complaint. In fact, my manager even received a call from a driver who wanted commend me on my courteousness on the road. I know that I have to stay on schedule, but I would never sacrifice the safety of others in order to achieve that. Nor would I compromise the state of the items I am carrying to get somewhere on time. With that in mind, I still have yet to be late to a single destination, except when extremely inclement weather interfered.
I also put forth extra effort to be as kind and caring as possible when delivering items that require a signature. I have two daughters, so I understand full well how unnerving it is to open the door to someone you do not know, even if they are uniform. This is why I maintain a professional and pleasant demeanor at every single residence or business I visit. I know that my behavior affects the receiving party’s view of the company I work for. I consider myself a representative of this company and behave accordingly, even when I’m off the clock.
I take pride in my job and it’s always nice to see the smiling, sometimes relieved faces of those awaiting a package. For every happy customer who has a pleasant exchange with me and receives his items on time, there are three more people he tells. That’s three more people who will go on to tell their friends of their positive experiences with us and so on and so forth.
I believe that if every employee treated their job as respectfully as I do and had as positive a record, this company would beat out the competition by a mile every single quarter.
