Early September 2012, The Mullen Group presented Payne with a Certificate of Achievement as “Best Implementer of Truckmate”, much of the credit due to Sheldon’s efforts.
In recognition of his service with Payne, Tom Payne Jr. pictured above awarded Sheldon his custom 10 karat white gold ring and his 10 Years of Service certificate.
