Decker Truck Line, Inc. recently announced their Drivers of the Month for December 2007. Gary Geisinger was selected for the honor from Decker’s Flatbed division, and Joe Holmberg received the award for the Reefer/Van division.

Gary has been with Decker since March 2002.  Rich Hiesterman, Gary’s dispatcher, speaks very highly of him.“Gary has been a very valuable driver for the short haul fleet,” Hiesterman said.  “He gets along well with the other drivers and helps out when needed.”

Gary and his wife, Sharon, live in Eagle Grove, Iowa.  They enjoy camping during the spring and summer, going on cruises in the winter and spending time with their family in any season. Although they don’t have any grandchildren, but have three “grand-dogs” that they enjoy.

Reefer/Van division honoree Joe Holmberg started with Decker in September 2000 as a flatbed driver, and in March 2005 switched to the reefer/van division. “Joe works hard, is always willing to help out and is a very reliable driver,” said Joe’s dispatcher, Scott Myers.

Joe and his wife, Mary, also reside in Eagle Grove.  They enjoy traveling together and spending time with their family, including their six grandchildren.  Joe also likes to fish when he finds the time.

Each month at Decker, dispatchers nominate drivers and owner-operators based on overall service and performance for that month. Operational productivity, safety records, maintenance/care of equipment (including idle time), payroll and billing, and customer service, are evaluated for each driver nominee to determine who is most deserving of the honor.

Each monthly award winner from December 2007 through November 2008 is eligible to receive the award for 2008 Driver (or Owner-Operator) of the Year.
