People Behind The Scenes

John Furr and Jason Murphy

Hello everyone,

Below is a picture of some special workers who do a great job for Freightliner. As I mentioned earlier, I plan to recognize those folks in our industry who work behind the scenes and do a fantastic job. I’ve known John Furr (left) and Jason Murphy (right) for quite a few years now. These two guys work very hard at the dealership for Freightliner of Charlotte, NC. They work in the truck shop. John is a technician and Jason is the shop foreman. On Friday, my truck needed to be serviced fora regular P.M. John worked on my truck and did a great job. He treats the equipment just as I would myself, which I really appreciate. I never have to worry about after-work grease on my seats, door and steering wheel. This is not always the case at other service centers. Jason  listens to me regarding maintenance issues and is always willing to discuss options related to repairs. I am always pleased with these two men as they strive to make their customers satisfied. I have found that they go beyond the call of duty during their everyday work. I want them to know it has not gone unnoticed and your excellent service is greatly appreciated. Thanks to John and Jason, two  behind the scenes workers who make life on the road a little easier.

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Henry

    Henry, Have a merry one to you and family. P.S. Wash your truck, it’s bad for your image!

    Barry,
    I hope you and your family have a merry one as well. I had just driven through four days of rain and one afternoon of snow before I put the Cascadia in the shop. So you are right the truck really needed washing.

    Bob,
    I had a very nice Christmas with my family. Thanks for the well wishes . It’s good to hear you are back on the road. My other truck is a 01 Freightliner Century Mid-Roof XT with a 500 Detroit Series 60. I am going to see how long my Century will last. So far, it has around 930,000 miles on it with out any major break downs. As a matter of fact, it has never left me sit anywhere.I hope you and your family have a great New Year in 2010.
