IVECO #thankyoutrucker Competition
This year, we had the opportunity to nominate one of our drivers, Jeffrey Maja, for the #ThankYouTrucker competition initiated by IVECO in partnership with The Road Freight Association. This competition runs every year, affording Directors and/or managers the opportunity to nominate their drivers. There are three coveted places at the podium, and our driver Jeffrey Maja was able to snag the third-place title.
In a recent interview held with Jeffrey Maja by Cathrine Larkin from CVLC Communication, she wrote the following about Jeffrey's achievement:
Third-placed Jeffrey Maja from GeoGroup has overcome incredible obstacles to achieve success. Despite coming from a disadvantaged background, Jeffrey worked his way up the company ranks and now holds both a code 10 and code 14 driver’s licence. Delighted at coming in the top three of the competition, Jeffrey said: “My mother and my wife were so excited about the news. I really appreciate GeoGroup and the opportunities they have given me. I am always happy at work: my employer is really supportive”.
Deon Bothma, Marketing Manager for the GeoGroup added: “Jeffrey has been with the Group since 2007 and has proven to be such an asset. He is hard-working, dedicated, committed and absolutely reliable. His potential was recognised early on and he continues to grow and thrive in the company.
“Our country’s drivers have incredible stories to tell – and these heartwarming stories demonstrate this,” commented Leanne Sebastian, Communication and Brand Specialist at IVECO SA. “Truck driving is a profession which is often overlooked, unrecognised and unappreciated. Through the #ThankYouTrucker competition we aim to change this, one story at a time!”
“The RFA congratulates all the winners of this year’s competition,” added Gavin Kelly, CEO of the Road Freight Association. “Our truck drivers keep the wheels of our economy turning: we salute their efforts, particularly in these very challenging and disruptive times!”
