Congratulations to our April Employee of the Month, Pete Anderson! Pete has worked for JP Graphics as our delivery driver since December of 2015.
The pandemic caused quite a few issues with traditional modes of delivery. (FedEx, UPS, USPS) and Pete has been instrumental in driving our deliveries farther and farther to ensure nothing happens to our printed materials.
It is not uncommon for Pete to make a run to Sacramento, come back and make another loop to San Francisco, cross the bridge, and come back through Oakland and Fremont.
Pete is truly your ideal employee. He has never complained, ever! Which for those of you who have driven in the crazy congested Bay Area traffic, this is a HUGE statement to his positive attitude! He is conscientious, careful, and caring which is the kind of driver everyone needs. His smile and can-do spirit is contagious.
In fact, we recently learned that one of our larger customers does not have a fork lift, and so when Pete delivers skids of materials he has to break down, unload, and re-stack them at their warehouse. He has does this without a complaint.
Pete is very likable and a true team player, here are just some of the comments from the managers:
- “He drives everywhere and is reliable and dependable.” ~ Miguel
- “Pete works non-stop. He never complains, loads the van by hand, and is always busy.” ~ Norbi
- “Nothing bothers him. He has the greatest attitude towards JP Customers too, they love him!” ~ Debbie
- “Pete is one of the best assets that JP Graphics has.” ~ Joe
- “I could not agree more. Although traffic is better, Pete has been tasked with even more to do. He has stepped up to deliver packages to (local) home addresses, so we are not dependent on other shippers. He has even hand delivered my wine to restaurants to see if they will carry it!” ~ Joan
Thanks, Pete, for all you do. We know our customer’s deliveries are in great hands with you at the wheel.
For those of you traveling throughout Northern California, if you happen to see our red JP Graphics van, be sure to give Pete a wave and a smile as a thank you for a job well done.
