This month, one employee receives special recognition.

“Eric is a helpful, supportive team player. He is always doing his part to make sure drivers have what they need to be successful during their workday. Eric has strong leadership qualities but remains humble. He is instrumental in our safety training program and is a valuable member of our team.”
