As 2020 has now come to a close, we know many of you are anxiously awaiting your 2020 W-2 in order to begin your tax filing process.

Current and previous employees are NOW 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. Those who do not download the tax forms online will have forms mailed by 1/31/2021. We hope you find this method of retrieval helpful in your tax filing process.

Most of us can probably agree that 2020 will be a year we will never forget with so many things happening on a national and global level.  Between the COVID pandemic that started nearly a year ago, major storms across the country, wildfires that have ravaged parts of our country, as well as other struggles we have each had on different levels, we can probably all agree that we are looking forward to this new year ahead of us.  But as we look back to last year, we can reflect on the many areas in our lives where we can be thankful for coming through it successfully.

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.

We are excited to announce our annual Open Enrollment for Benefit elections is October 1st-31st.  You won’t want to miss this opportunity to make changes or review your core and voluntary benefit options for 2021.  Open enrollment is passive again this year.  This means that if you currently have benefits you don’t have to re-enroll during Open Enrollment unless you are actually making changes to your current elections or opting out of coverage.  The only exception would be that you are required to elect a new flexible spending account every year due to IRS Regulations.   Don’t forget…Open Enrollment is the only time you can make changes to your current benefits unless you experience a Life Event.

As many of you’ve no doubt learned by now, our founder and president, Gary Wilson, passed away last Monday afternoon.

Gary was bright, witty, humble and (obviously) a great businessman.  He was able to build an immediate rapport with the people around him whether he was in a drivers’ room, meeting with a group of drivers or in a board room, meeting with a group of Fortune 500 executives.

If you ever met Gary, you immediately liked him.   If you knew him well, you loved him.  He treated everyone fairly and made all that he met feel important.  His loss creates a void for his friends and family that cannot be filled and leaves us with memories that will never be forgotten.  I know that I am a better person for having the blessing of getting to know and work with him.
