Hector Sibrian, Sibrian Trucking
 Hector
Sibrian, owner/operator of Sibrian Trucking, believes he owes his
success to good communication and teamwork. “The managers
and I work together to solve issues before they become problems,”
he says. “The key is my relationship with everyone at DSI.
They always give me 100% support.”
Hector began his career in the delivery business six years ago
as a helper, and began driving for another company a year later.
Due to his experience both as a helper and driver, Hector was confident
in starting his own operation, Sibrian Trucking, in 2001. “I’ve
expanded now to three trucks. It’s just the right number for
me to maintain a high standard of excellence while earning a nice
income,“ he says.
Regional Manager Roy Siu of Delivery Solutions agrees. “After
only one month of service with our new client, Scandinavian Design,
everyone had positive things to say about Hector’s professional
and personable approach to each delivery.”
When Hector is ready to retire from trucking “sometime in
the future,” he would like to remain with DSI in a management
capacity. “DSI is a great company,” he declares. “I
truly believe in our philosophy, ’Whatever it takes, we deliver.’
“ Hector adds to that, ”Whatever we do, we help people
out.”
He recalls an incident when helping someone out meant first getting
past the customers’ two dogs. “The dogs jumped on both
me and my helper, “he remembers. “They hung on me and
pulled on my uniform. Then they jumped on the customer, frightening
her as well. It was amazing that we were able to get into the house
and complete the delivery.”
Like everyone in the transportation industry today, Hector must
deal with rising fuel prices. Although he appreciates DSI’s
fuel surcharge subsidy, he says “it’s still important
to adjust my routes whenever possible to reduce route mileage and
avoid long runs.”
Hector makes his home in Northern California and is “happily
married with a beautiful four-year-old daughter.” He loves
to go out with his family. “My little girl loves to shop,”
he tells the Dispatch. “And you won’t believe this,
but she already asked me to get her a laptop!”
