"In baseball, a cleanup hitter is the fourth hitter in the lineup. Their most important job is to bring runs in, the cleanup hitter “cleans up the bases” meaning that if there are runners on the bases the cleanup hitter scores them in ergo the name. Airways’ cleanup hitters are the team members that work third shift.
"Over seventeen years ago, Rob Nix joined the Airways Family working third shift. Third shift is responsible for tracking/tracing the current days shipments, shipments in process and delivering the following day. They provide quotes/customer service, set-up shipments (charters, next fight out, hotshots, etc.), in other words they do everything first and second shift, but with the disadvantage of the time difference. Many carriers and vendors have cut back on their hours, but our third shift know emergency numbers and how to get things done. Rob has mastered all these things and more, and has developed into a leader on third shift. He has even taken on the responsibility of training our new third shift team members.
"Rob is an integral part of the Airways Family and our success. I am proud to congratulate Rob as our December employee of the month. He joins a GREAT group of people."
