As we approach Christmas and the holiday season, we would like to take this moment to say thank you to our employees.  We have endured several losses this year of operations personnel, drivers, our founding father, and most importantly family members.  We want to keep these families in our thoughts and prayers as we go through these holiday times.  We have endured a global pandemic while at the same time having record loads hauled per week keeping the public supplied with groceries, bread, and paper products.  We were able to transition our entire fleet of 3000 trucks to a new in-cab devices and complete 3 start-ups!  I have never been more proud to work for this company than in this year.

On November 11, 1919 President Woodrow Wilson issued the following statement regarding what was to be known as National Armistice Day and later Veterans Day.

To us in America the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with - solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service, and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of nations.

There is little doubt that most of you reading this message will recall exactly where you were when 9.11 took on new meaning in American vocabulary. Fourteen years ago today America became the victim of a tragic attack which lead to the loss of nearly 3,000 innocent lives. In the years that have passed we have continued to see the effects that these and other attacks have had on our lives and the lives of those intimately connected to September 11, 2001.
