September Employee Spotlights

This month’s employee spotlight is on John Cassano and Wilbert Champion, two drivers who are always willing to help out whenever or wherever they can!

John Cassano

As a truck driver with Hermann Transportation since March of 2017, John appreciates many aspects of his role. From the friendly office staff to his customers, he truly enjoys every part of the job.

 

A memorable moment for John at Hermann Services was when he accepted the job and had the chance to speak with General Manager, Mike Horvath. “We had about a 30-minute conversation, and I asked him a few questions and he answered every question honestly and sincerely. There’s nothing he told me seven years ago that wasn’t accurate. I felt comfortable coming to work for Hermann before I even started. The friendship I have with Mike remains true to this day. He knows I’m always a phone call away and I know he’s always just a phone call away,” John said.

 

This positive experience highlights the strong relationships that foster a thriving work environment at Hermann Services. Mike shares similar sentiments about John. “There have been countless times he and I had extended discussions on putting plans together to help a customer or get through a challenge,” he said. “In more cases than not, he extends himself to make things work. And no conversation goes by without some genuine friendly banter. John’s approach to work and friendship is far beyond appreciated, and it’s clear why he is a leader in keeping the Hermann heart beating strong.”

 

John values the hard work and dedication of Hermann Services’ ownership and top management. As a former business owner, he understands the challenges and rewards of running a company. He’s especially grateful for the support and guidance he’s received from managers over the years. “The managers that have been fantastic are still here, like Mark, Bill, and Jerry. They helped me be successful at Hermann, and they deserve a lot of credit,” he recounted “You can call them for laughs, business, whatever – they’re always there.”

 

John has received glowing reviews from his Driver Manager, Jerry. “When we need a driver to do something out of the ordinary, he was there, he ran flatbeds, and he always compliments people when he speaks to them,” Jerry said. “For me, the memories throughout the years with John are great, I cannot pick one memory, he has done so much.”

 

In addition to his successful career at Hermann Services, John is incredibly proud of being able to help raise three successful sons. John also has some pretty cool past achievements like working as a chef. “I opened three successful Italian restaurants,” he said proudly.

 

We’re incredibly lucky to have dedicated employees like John on our team! Thank you for your hard work every day, John!

Wilbert Champion

Wilbert joined the Hermann Services team in October of 2022. Transitioning from transporting fuel to working for Hermann Transportation presented a learning curve, but Wilbert quickly adapted. One of his initial challenges was navigating the ports, remarking, “it was a beast to figure out at first, but eventually, I figured it out and was really happy.” Often, port congestion can be a challenge for truck drivers, but Wilbert was determined to succeed and has learned to navigate the ports successfully.

 

Wilbert has flourished since joining Hermann Services. “Will is an all-together driver, always willing to help when needed, and a good mentor,” says his Driver Manager, Hope DeLeon. His commitment to excellence aligns perfectly with our core values at Hermann Services.

 

Outside of work, Wilbert enjoys traveling, riding his motorcycle, and spending quality time with his family. He’s also deeply committed to community service. “If you looked at me, you wouldn’t guess I’m into community service and helping people around me, but I really enjoy it,” said Wilbert. Some of the ways Wilbert gives back to his community are through his church, food banks, and his motor service club. “I also adopt families during the holidays to provide things like food on Thanksgiving and gifts for Christmas,” he said. Drivers like Wilbert show the world a different side of truck drivers.

 

If he could have any superpower, Wilbert said he’d want to be an educator. This aligns with his passion for helping others and making a positive impact on his community – just like Hermann Services does through our charitable arm, Hermann Cares.

 

Wilbert has been a valuable member of our team, who often goes above and beyond – and not just for our organization – and we’re glad to have him on board!
