Someone You Should Know: Julie Zelinski

As part of our continuing effort to highlight interesting people in the community, the River News will be bringing readers a periodic feature entitled Someone You Should Know. Our reporters will be compiling short profiles of individuals who are making valuable contributions to the community through their employment or volunteer work. Featured this week is Rapid Cab driver Julie Zelinski.

RN: Please explain your job?

Zelinski: My job is to pick up customers and take them to their destinations.

RN: How long have you held this job?

Zelinski: I have had this job for a little over 2 1/2 years.

RN: What is your favorite part of the job?

Zelinski: The diversity of the people we get in the cab.

RN: What is the biggest misconception about your job?

Zelinski: I would say that there is more to it than driving a car. The dispatcher gives you a call and you drive there and pick them up, but it's never that easy. There is paperwork that goes along with it, there are bumps and hiccups in the road with the other drivers, the road conditions, every once in a while you'll have another customer that calls and they want you to go out of the way a little bit to pick up somebody else up along the way because it is a Share Ride program. So there's more to it than getting behind the wheel and driving a car.

RN: What do you like to do in your spare time?

Zelinski: Be with my dog Scout.
