As 2015 is quickly coming to a close, we know many of you will be anxiously awaiting your 2015 W-2 in order to begin your tax filing process.

We are excited to announce that we are introducing a quicker and more efficient delivery of your W-2 information in January 2016.  Employees will be able to access their W-2 on-line through the FirstFleet portal.  

This process is very simple and similar to the process everyone uses to access their weekly pay information today. We anticipate the earnings information will be released for you early in January. When the forms are released a detailed set of instructions on how to access this this information will be shared.

A few years ago, Melvin realized that he needed to take some steps to improve his health while he was on the road.  Driving involves a lot of "sitting time" throughout the week.  Many times, you do not feel like exercising on your time off or at home.  Melvin knew that he needed to take some time to improve himself physically while he was in the truck.  So a few years ago, he began doing a system of simple exercises while inside the truck on breaks.

Today is Thanksgiving - a day set aside to pause and reflect on the blessings of life. I am sure each of us has a different set of blessings that come to mind when reflecting on our lives. For some it may be health, maybe it is children or grandchildren, our shared freedom, perhaps for some it is our work - something we can all be proud of. In the diversity of our team there are no doubt a wide range of blessings bestowed upon us.

Mike Farmer was presented with answering a big question for himself a few years ago when he found out that he was going to be a father to a precious daughter.  He had to make the decision if he was going to be willing to take the necessary steps for himself to ensure that he was going to be active and around for his wife and young daughter.  Once he made the decision to make some changes, Mike found out that small changes can have a huge impact on your health.

The first 10 months of this year have brought about many conversations with FirstFleet’s driver population. These have been through driver safety meetings, online driver surveys and general discussions in driver breakfast meetings. These conversations have centered around the company’s desire to acknowledge and meet every employee’s hopes and desires for the best workplace for everyone. These interactions have helped us greatly in this process and we are grateful for the feedback you have provided.

Brian Imhoff spends hours upon hours each week managing the fleet based in Ames, Iowa. He has worked in this role since September 2004. Brian is our featured Wellness Hero this week due to some recent changes he made in his lifestyle and nutrition after the Biometric testing at his location in 2014.
