Georgia Pacific has named Mike Sieling, a Dart contractor, as its Dedicated Driver of the Year, the first year for the award.
"Mike stood out head and shoulders above the rest of the nominees," said Kae Reis, transportation manager at Georgia Pacific. "His safety record, fuel conservation management, tenure with both Dart Transit and the Collaborative Dedicated fleet, and on-time delivery record made him the obvious choice."

"Mike focuses his attention on safe driving and provides excellent service to customers," said Mary Chute, Dart director of operations for the dedicated division. "He is always willing to help out when needed, has a positive attitude, and is very loyal to both Dart and Georgia Pacific."
Sieling has been driving professionally since 1980. He contracted his truck with Dart 18 years ago, and has been driving for Georgia Pacific for eight years.
