SUMMARY:

The unofficial beginning of summer starts this weekend. Thank you to all Veterans for your Service.

The number of travelers on the roadways is increasing. You will see many more trailers, campers, boats, broken down on the road. Space = Time. It gives you that cushion to protect yourself and others. Communicate asap if you find yourself broken down. Remember to Practice the Safe Six: Get Ready- know what you are getting into, prepare. Right Speed- Slow down as traffic gets heavier. Maintain Safe Following Distance- minimum of 7 seconds. Eliminate Distractions. Reduce Risk- get rest, keep an eye on what is in front of you. Right Response

HOS issues earlier this week- especially 2021 Internationals- data delays. Please reach out to Logs if you had/have issues and they will correct as possible.

We are in need of driver trainers. We have a growing CDL school and we need your experience and expertise to continue their education. There is additional compensation included. Reach out to Tony Krapfl, Jane Spurling, or Marty Keppler with questions or to sign up.

SUMMARY:

Easter weekend- take care with the extra 4-wheelers out on the road.

Safety

- Last week 3 blow overs, all were empty and in transit

- If weather conditions are not good, we want you to get off the road

- East/West highway with a North/South wind- trailer behind you acts like a kite, especially on wide open spaces

Freight

- Holiday week- satisfied with freight this week with the impact of Good Friday and Easter

- Normal for us to have a small lull in the week or two after Easter

- Awaiting grill and fresh produce season- coming soon!

- We will be very busy rolling into summer

- Next week OTR has a review from a customer/driver/Hirschbach standpoint to work on our network

Equipment

- Have started to receive new equipment- 9 Freightliners this week and 9 more next week

- New Navistar’s come the end of May

- 2018 trailers are going to start coming out of the fleet and new ones will start to be incorporated

- 2019 Kenworth’s and 2019 Navistar’s are next to be turned over in the fleet

Inspections at KC and EDU

- Inspection bays are being installed in KC and EDU- we have listened to our drivers and hear you loud and clear that equipment needs to be inspected. We are modifying the yards to implement this procedure

- If you have a question, please ask the right sources instead of blasting on social media. Dan offered his personal email and phone extension, and encouraged communication with our operations team
