Billy Martin: "There's nothing greater in the world than when somebody on the team does something good, and everybody gathers around to pat him on the back."
With the touch of a button, Tom Beam dialed Scott Debelle. With Tom Chipman, Tina Pastore and Bee Dalton standing by, a chorus of congratulations were carried across the phone lines to Indianapolis Indiana, where Scott is today. "Wow, this is really cool", Scott said. He was very pleased to be recognized for his hard work and effort. Scott has won the Chipman Relocations Continental Driver of the year approximately ten times. Additionally, Scott with the United Van Lines Van Operator of the Year for 2001-2002. Scott has been one of our longest running drivers. Excluding a short hiatus, he has run for Chipman since January of 1994.
The next call was placed to Dewayne Porter. We could literally see Dewayne smiling through the phone. Although he has won the United Van Lines Van Operator of the month many times this year, the United Van Lines Van Operator of the year was elusive for him. Mr. Chipman told Dewayne that he felt that he should have won it, but Dewayne replied that he was equally happy to be awarded directly by the company he works for. Compared to Scott, Dewayne is virtually a newbee, starting as a driver for Vince Stanford and Chipman Relocations in May 2004.
The criteria that is used to select the drivers is a point system based on linehaul, claims and customer service. Additionally, all drivers must be safety free in order to be considered for the award. So truely, you must be the best of the best. Both Scott and Dewayne have a true dedication to being the best professionals that they can be. From the smallest bolt on their rigs to the biggest item on a shipment, their approach is singleminded. "Do it right and be the best at it."
