The Cup Makes its Way to Vinton, VA

 

Recently, the Central Region Cup made its way down to beautiful Vinton, VA.  During its stay, it was admired by the driving team as well as the Southern States Office Staff.  Southern States Plant Manager Dave Jones, above, especially couldn't get enough.  He was most impressed by the Sparty emblem.  Then again, who isn't!

Driver Dedicated at Aurora Parts

 

 

If you are a driver, there is nothing worse then switching into a different tractor that hasn't been cleaned.  Our sleepers are second homes for our drivers.  I relate it to the same thing as if you were to check into a hotel that hadn't had the sheets changed, the bed made, as well as fresh towels.

 

Our Account Manager at Aurora Parts recently put himself in the shoes of his drivers and actually decided to detail the inside of the truck himself so that one of his new employees that is finishing up his training this week has a clean truck to put all of his gear in.  We want all of our new employees to have a great experience when onboarding into the company.  Making sure our drivers have a clean truck is just one of many things we can do to help our drivers through this transition.  Great job George!

 

 

45 Days Collision Free at PSP

 

 

Please join me in celebrating 45 days collision free at Pet Supplies Plus. During that stretch the team has delivered nearly 1,500 stores over 350,000 miles among their 30 drivers. Obviously this isn't an easy accomplishment for any driving crew especially with the difficulty at most PSP store locations. Also, during this time they have been shorthanded with one of their prior Operations Supervisors (Jess Caudill) taking the promotion to Tyson in Corydon, IN.

Hats off to Brandon Denison and Sheldon Williams for leading this team to another great accomplishment!
