MATBUS driver Marv Mickelson was recently profiled in The Forum and I wanted to take time to share a bit on Marv. This month, he will be celebrating his 30th anniversary of driving a bus on the streets of Fargo. During this time, he has never caused an accident and has only missed four days of work. In addition to being a very safe driver, he is a true customer service gem for MATBUS and the entire community. Congratulations to Marv and his wife, Chris!
