To George´s family: I am so sorry I did not see his passing a year ago. George was one of the best drivers we had. He was always happy and anytime I would need him to take on several loads to deliver, he never was angry. His DOT logs were perfect and always at my desk every Monday morning. Never had to worry that he would be late dropping a load off or late picking a load up. He was the best and I would tell him how much I appreciated him He was the type of employee you loved to have work with you. To his family I just wanted you to know he was a great employee and person. Deepest Sympathy Stephanie Smith. ( my nickname was Mrs Mapquest)

I remember when George worked at Worldwide Transportation. I was the dispatcher and worked with the drivers. He was one of my favorite drivers because of his dependability and work ethics. I never had to worry if the loads were going to be delivered safely and on time. He was a great person you have my deepest sympathy.
