Q&A With Alexandra

Generally, a little bit surprised. Then they wonder if it is really as good as they say it is to work for them. And I say "yes" normally.

Making sure that my group of drivers is keeping up to our service and safety standards. I look back at any service failures we had the previous day and follow up with those drivers and train and monitor to make sure they’re following safe driving and work methods. My job also involves building relationships with my drivers. I want to have good relationships with my employees.

During my time as a Dispatch Supervisor, once I finished retracing a loop—which is making a delivery order for an area—I was able to complete a whole loop for that, that was really satisfying for me.

Communication with my group. I think having a positive relationship with my people, and even people who are not my direct reports, is very important. We want to deliver the important stuff. We deliver Pfizer on a daily basis to our vaccine clinics here. Without our people, we wouldn't be doing that. It starts from a team base.
