The Driver's and Dispatcher's

Being a "rookie" in this company of course I was taken under the wing of a few seasoned guys.

Since working I have met almost all of the Driver's both on the day shift as well as the night shift.

The night crew I am usually working with are:

Frankie
Ronnie
EJ
Alex
Kenny
Joe J.
Andy

I would consider these guys the regulars, ones who usually work 5 to 7 nights a week.

There are also other night driver's who don't usually work every night, in fact there's a few who only work Saturday and Sunday night.

Anyway, these are the guys who I work with at night and depending on the night sometimes i work a 12 to 16 hour shift like I do on Saturday and for some weird reason Thursday.

Out of this group I find that Andy, Ronnie, and Frankie have sort of taken me under their wing to show me the different way to do things, like the best routes around town, where certain place's are and for overall conversation.

I must say that Frankie is probably one of the best Human navigation devices out there, Although he does have his faults he is usually dead on.

Now on to the dispatchers.....

LOL

You've got Bruce, Vito, Joe "Scooter" and Joe Solomon.

These are your dispatchers which cover the 24hr a day 7 days a week operation.

On my shifts I see more then often Scooter and Joe Solomon.

Bruce only dispatches me during Saturday night and Vito is only on my Saturday, and Thursday nights. Also Vito dispatches during Tuesday afternoon until 11pm.

There are a lot of things that can be said about the dispatchers and their practices however that is not really meant for this type of a forum.

However I do enjoy working whenever Scooter and Vito are on. Bruce is somewhat of a desired taste to describe it.

Anyway that's it for the people I work with.
