Wishing Longtime Mawson and Mawson Dispatcher Frank Flynn All The Best!
HEY! HEY! YA-HOOO!!!
Longtime Central Langhorne Dispatcher Frank Flynn is retiring after 39 wonderful years at Mawson and Mawson. Frank has seen his share of changes in the trucking industry: from contacting drivers through pay phones, pagers, beepers and cellphones, to Qualcomm, emails, texting and ELD’s. He has survived all the hazards of the job one would expect over that period of time: numerous trucking and customer strikes, recessions, blizzards, snowstorms, hurricanes and even an earthquake for good measure.
Frank’s had the pleasure of working with three generations of the Durbin family. From the early days of peddling his bike to work, to many years of travel with his trusty Buick, the man simply never missed a day of work. He’s truly the epitome of a dedicated employee, working with thousands of union drivers, company drivers, independent contractors, brokers and agents during his tenure.
Starting with hippie-long brown hair on June 14, 1978, and retiring with a short-cropped head of white hair, Frank says he’ll miss the drivers and customers the most. He could not have done it without dedicated Mawson drivers like Freddie Haas. “It was truly a cast of characters with every type of personality imaginable.” Frank says. “I still don’t know the front end of the truck from the back, just let me know when you were ready to go.” The man knows everything there is to know about dispatching.
Mawson and Mawson President Mike Fonzi says “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Frank for over 27 years, on many occasions asking him to pull off the impossible. His response was always “we’ll get it done, Boss.” He defines reliability and exemplary customer service. No matter what the circumstances, good or bad, he did his job well and with a smile. Frank will be sorely missed within our Mawson family, as well as customers he served on a daily basis.”
Frank plans on spending more time with his family, watching his favorite Philadelphia sports teams, and much less time on the phone. Ever the optimist, he truly believes the Phillies are just a starting pitcher away from being in playoff contention.
