Today, I came across a situation in Hams Hall next to the Bristol Street Motors PDI site that really struck a chord. I saw one of Ford Motor Company's car transporters stuck at the side of the road, half blocking traffic. The driver, in a bid to avoid blocking the site and let other deliveries proceed, had parked up on the side due to a backlog of three other transporters. Unfortunately, due to the low construction of the transporter, he got beached on the curb and was close to damaging his fuel tank.
As I drove by in my 2024 Ford UK Ranger Wildtrak, I saw the despair on the driver’s face and thought, "That guy isn't having a good day." The implications of his situation were clear—delayed or canceled deliveries, recovery costs, stress for the driver, and potential job risks. He even mentioned that a recovery truck was on the way, adding to his anxiety.
Moved by empathy and the fact that it was a Ford transporter, I decided to turn around and see how I could help. After all, we're currently working at Ford UK's PDI site in Granby Avenue fitting accessories and deadlocks for a fleet customer, and I had the tools in my truck to assist. I hooked up some straps to my towbar, and with a little encouragement, we managed to free the transporter without any damage.
This act of goodwill wasn’t about social media recognition but about helping someone in need. Although I didn’t take many photos, I’m proud to share this story with my LinkedIn community. The driver was able to carry on with his day, and what could have been a major delay turned into just a small hiccup he could easily make up for.
My point is, I have your back we have your back and there's no i in "TEAM" we are all about teamwork and doing things others don't and making things happen.
