Willie White Jr.,

Superintendent, RV4

Tell me a little more about how you started
with Loram, how did you hear about the job,
which positions you’ve held?

It all started with a life changing decision of finding
a new career in life. I was in a dead end job and I
needed to escape. I started from new hire and
slowly made my way up the ranks to superinten-
dent. Working on machines RV17, RV14, RV7,
RV6, RV1, RV4, RV3, BC8, UC1201.

What do you enjoy most about working at Lo-
ram?
I enjoy the challenges most of all, every day it’s
something new. No day is the same as the next,
or the last. The freedom of planning maintenance
schedules, overhauls, rebuilds etc. I always have
enjoyed working with my hands. Taking things
apart and see how they work, the way you have to
challenge yourself to make deadlines. It is a feeling
of accomplishment.

What is your favorite memory from this past
year?
My favorite was working along side Sheldon Lucas, Pictured above L to R: Willy White and Sheldon Lucas
he has retired now. But the knowledge I learned
from him after 15 years of service has not been
taken for granted, it truly was a pleasure and a privilege working beside him. Not only did Sheldon give me a
deep lesson in old school tips and tricks. He also showed me better money management ideas for setting your-
self up better in the golden years. He definitely knew his stuff because he retired and bought a bar (cash). So,
this memory is one I will take with me for the rest of my life.

Where is your hometown and what is the best thing about it?
Georgiana, AL is my hometown. Best thing about it, it’s the place I met my beautiful wife and started a family.
Also, the bass fishing is some of the best in the state.

Do you have any hobbies? What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re on time off?
FISHING!!!! It is the only hobby there is.
