🌟 Employee Spotlight 🌟

This month, we’re recognizing Tim Martin, KRT’s Maintenance Supervisor, who has been part of the KRT team for 13 years.

Tim’s role keeps him busy with a little bit of everything. He handles payroll, manages work orders, coordinates road calls when buses need maintenance while out on their routes, and helps keep the garage running smoothly day to day.

He has worked in the mechanic business for nearly 50 years and came to KRT looking for something stable that he could build a long-term career around and eventually retire from. More than a decade later, he says one of the best parts of the job is the group of people he works with in the garage every day. He genuinely enjoys the work and the team around him.

Outside of KRT, Tim enjoys spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren, as well as traveling. He and his wife have been married for 49 years and are planning a special trip to Italy next year to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Tim also serves as Pastor at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church.

We are grateful for Tim’s years of dedication, leadership, and hard work behind the scenes. Thank you, Tim, for all that you do. 💙🚍
