71: Jesus Medina

Logistics, Penske

During his interview Jesus was a man of few words. But he did tell us this - his work at Penske is multi- faceted. He checks drivers in and out, does office support, is system supervisor, and does computer work. But for a short time, this all came to a halt. He took off from work to assist with his son, because the mother of his son, who is a nurse, was down and out with COVID. Fortunately, after a few weeks she recovered. 

Jesus went back to work and continued to work through the entire pandemic. Penske was busier than ever. Requests for trucks and the service of them was very high, because so many deliveries were being made worldwide. 

Other people that Jesus knew did not survive their bout with COVID. He said at times it was very sad. These were trying times,” he said. “I hope it goes away soon and we are back to human interaction again.”
