Company Driver of the Month: Mark Capps
Shout out to Mark for kick starting his career at TransAm with a proactive approach! Even though he has only been with TransAm for about 2 months, Mark is already making strides as a great driver. His driver manager, Heather Hubbs says, “Mark goes above and beyond in everything that he does. He takes it upon himself to provide yard updates each time he arrives to pick up his load. He sends helpful information like which empty trailers are available, which trailers are in dock doors, and which trailers have maintenance issues. He is definitely a great addition to our team!” Thank you Mark. Your awesome communication skills and can-do attitude is much appreciated!
