Employee Spotlight
Amanda Tidwell
Amanda Tidwell has been the anchor of the dispatching staff at TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale since she came to work for the company in July of 2005. Hers is the voice that can be heard over the company's high tech and far reaching radio system Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. until 5 P.M. as well as many weekend days and busy boating holidays. Her desk is the hub of activity for the entire company. She communicates with our customers, our employees and our suppliers with confidence and grace...When it really gets busy, she does so at a mind numbing pace! At her fingertips, she has the use of a voice over internet protocol multi line phone system as well as a multi site touch screen VHF radio system. This system incorporates radio over internet protocol technology and boasts antennas as tall as 1,050 feet. She also monitors web cameras located throughout the waterfront in Broward County and assists with many of the company's administrative functions when time allows. Check out the photos below of Amanda at work which includes descriptions of her activities and the tools that she uses each day.
Amanda and the rest of our dispatching staff are standing by 24 hours a day and they are ready to help you!
