With a whopping 20 years of CMV driving under her belt, she really knows her way around a rig. 🎬 Off the clock, Sandra’s all about fun—whether that’s playing cards, hitting up the latest movie, tearing it up on her 4-wheeler, or enjoying some snowy adventures. She treasures her trips to Pennsylvania where she hikes with her forever young pups, Oscar and Wicket, and gets her hands dirty with some serious home DIY projects. 😊 Sandra’s constant smile and positive attitude make her more than just a colleague; she’s a true gem in our team. We’re so grateful to have her with us! 🙏 Here’s to many more miles AND smiles! Thanks for all you do.
