A long time friend of close to 40 years, who has been an O/O for our company for at least 10 years, was involved in an accident where he lost his life. Tim was a great person and one of the most cautious drivers I have ever met! Rest In Peace, my friend! You will be missed!

Please tell all your drivers and O/Os how much you appreciate the work they do. It is a thankless job, that used to be a well respected job. I know it will be tough not getting the check in calls anymore. Please be careful out there. Look and look again. Take the extra milisecond to be sure you are clear before you pull out. Life is short, don't shorten it more by being in a hurry! Be safe and tell your drivers how much you appreciate them! You may not get another chance!!!
