BEVERLY HILLS TRANSFER AND STORAGE DRIVER WINS ALLIED VAN LINES’ DRIVER OF THE YEAR AWARD
CHICAGO, April 15, 2010 – Allied Van Lines Inc., one of the world’s largest moving companies and a subsidiary of SIRVA Inc., announced its 2009 Driver of the Year as Donald Carlisle of Beverly Hills Transfer and Storage in Gardena, Calif. Don was selected from a group of over 1,600 qualified Allied Van Lines haulers based on his 2009 quality performance scores, claims frequency and safety record.
Donald was studying space physics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University when he decided to become a long-haul mover for Beverly Hills Transfer and Storage, a southern California-based moving company. Donald has only been driving for four years now, but his performance and quality scores reflect those of a true driving veteran.
“It’s absolutely amazing that a four-year rookie could join our fleet and achieve such remarkable performance scores,” said Bill Lyon, general manager of Allied Van Lines. “We’re honored to have drivers like Donald as a part of our fleet and congratulate him for a job well done.”
To become an Allied Van Lines Driver of the Year nominee, a driver must be designated first as a Master Mover and then chosen as a Driver of the Month. The Driver of the Month award winners are then evaluated based on quality performance scores, claims frequency, safety record and other performance metrics for the prior year. One Allied Van Lines driver is chosen each year and is honored at the company’s annual operations conference. The winning driver also receives a custom leather jacket and watch, truck decals and other “perks.”
Beverly Hills Transfer and Storage is a southern California moving company, servicing all areas from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border. They’re located at 15500 S. Main St., Gardena, Calif. 01969. Additional information can be found at http://www.beverlyhillstransfer.com/.
