- [Oscar Dominguez] I love being a mechanic.
It's the one thing I liked since when I was small,
you know take things apart and try to put it back together
make sure it's still working and if not, take it back apart,
make sure it's working again.
And same thing here,
you know, you're looking for something that is an issue
and you definitely try to fix it and put it back together.
- [Matthew Rendon] What I like about working here.
is everybody shares the same principles, like integrity,
honesty, and compassion for what we're doing.
It's really important that you have those three elements
because if you don't, it really reflects on your work.
- [Oscar Dominguez] They don't hesitate to invest
in anything and everything that belongs to Reyes.
- [Roy Elkins] They want to make sure you got all the tools
your need to do your job.
- [Oscar Dominguez] Safety's number one,
you know the uniforms have the safety reflectors.
- [Roy Elkins] We have modules
that we take every morning for safety.
- [Matthew Rendon] We also have a system of networks,
we look at Navistar web-based system with realtime data.
Following these tractors around
showing us what kind of problems we are running into,
even before the driver knows about it.
They do a lot of training with us hands on
that really promotes a good intuitive learning curve for us.
- [Roy Elkins] Technology is moving faster
than everybody else,
for a young guy that had to drive, the skill of,
you know, get started and I think they would do anything
to help them to get going on that.
- [Matthew Rendon] The level of independence you have here,
you know we're not micromanaged.
Everybody smiles at you here when you walk by,
they'll say hello to you.
Look at you.
At some other places,
when you work there, they don't really share
that level of respect towards each other.
The pay is competitive.
The benefits are extraordinary.
I have a wife and two kids
and we're all on the benefits program.
It's helped us out a lot.
I just had a baby two months ago,
and I'm glad that we have the benefits we do.
- [Oscar Dominguez] It makes me feel proud to work here,
because Reyes doesn't cut corners
to anything that they need to invest in,
whether it's the building, the fleet, their employees
they don't hesitate to make sure
that they get everything they need for their full potential.
