Introducing Jose Gaitan! This month's "Meet the Team" featured Employee!

Jose has been with Fisher Transportation for 8 years. He started his career at Fisher pulling a flowboy, while spending the winters working indoors detailing trucks. Over time, Jose earned his doubles endorsement and moved into pulling V-bins, as well as gravel trains during the winter season.

One of the things Jose enjoys most about his job is being able to work outdoors. While winter certainly comes with challenges, he gets to experience some beautiful sunrises and gorgeous sunsets along the way. His favorite truck snacks on-the-go are homemade protein balls, energy drinks, and water.

Jose also shared some advice for anyone new to the industry: "Be willing to put in overtime, work long days, make some sacrifices, have patience, and it can be a rewarding career that can make you a comfortable living." He also lives by the mindset: "Life is short, work hard and play harder."

Outside of work, Jose enjoys spending time with his family and going camping.

Thanks for being a great part of the team, Jose!

Meet the team at Fisher Transport - Introducing Rick House!

For 23 seasons, Rick has been a valued member of the Fisher Transportation team. As a Truck Driver, his experience and dependability help keep our customers and operations on track. He has become a trusted, familiar face known for his work ethic and positive attitude.

One thing Rick says many people don't realize about truck driving is just how much weight the trucks haul. Because of that, patience and awareness from other drivers are incredibly important to keep everyone safe on the road.

When asked what advice he would give to someone just starting out in the industry, Rick shared: "Work hard, but also play hard, because life is shorter than we think."

Outside of work, Rick enjoys golfing, traveling, and spending time with his grandsons. He also loves camping, fishing, and riding his motorcycle whenever he gets the chance.

Thank you, Rick, for your 23 years of commitment to Fisher Transportation!

Meet The Team! This month, we're happy to introduce Matt Cook!

Matt has worked here at Fisher Transportation for 10 years. Over that time, he has enjoyed traveling throughout Michigan, seeing new places, and meeting new people along the way. When asked what is one thing others may not realize about being a Truck Driver, Matt said: "People don't always realize how important stopping distance really is. While it may look like trucks can stop quickly, that is not the case, and it requires extra awareness from everyone on the road."

When it comes to truck snacks, Matt keeps it simple with a go-to combo of Chex Mix and beef sticks. Matt wanted to leave a good tip for any new drivers just getting started: "Saddle up and enjoy the ride, and definitely watch out for others out there, because they're not always watching out for you."

Outside of work, Matt enjoys spending time with his family, especially taking vacations to Florida with his wife and kids, and of course their dog, who he says is basically their third kid. He also enjoys annual Canadian fishing trips each summer, working on his hobby car, and most importantly, watching his children achieve their dreams.

Thanks for all you do, Matt!
