Fun in Winter Wonderland

Just saw the Truck Talk blog.  I thought you'd appreciate this photos of the Loves in Toms Brook VA (I 81 x291) during the storm on Feb 13. It comes from Mike Fedderson(FEDM3) who was stuck in it. They had already gotten 15" at that point, and still coming down.

We love getting content from our drivers.  It gets us closer to their world and what they are dealing with on the road.   Thanks for reading and sharing Tom!

Wayne, MI Terminal

This is the weather our drivers are dealing with in the Midwest.  It might be sunny in NWA, but winter has a long duration in other areas of the country.

Pillars Award Winner - Trey Sanders

Trey came to the Truck Group from nights in August.  He has made an immediate positive impact.  Trey has a great attitude and is always more than willing to what is asked.  he was #1 in the region on the December FM Scorecard.

Pillars Award Winner - Mike Price

Mike owns important markets in Iowa and recently worked on a deal that secured a rate increase from a major customer in Muscatine, IA to San Antonio to offset the operational efficiency of an early morning delivery. 

Mike is the single point of pricing contact for all Pop-Up activity for JBT.  During 2013, Mike worked to take Pop-ups from an asset heavy model to predominately PCS.  In December, over 83% of truck days were PCS and total Pop-up revenue for the month was $2.3mm.  In 20013, Pop-up fleets brought $30.7mm to the truck line compared to $27.1mm for 2012.

Mike is a vital member of our team and we appreciate him!

Truckload Visitor

Today we took the opportunity to recognize our December 2013 Driver of the Month.  Luis Ruiz visited the 4th floor in Lowell and was introduced to all our people.  We loved seeing his reaction to the confetti shower.

This needs to be a part of our culture in the future.  I have to believe Luis loved the  recognition as our Driver of the Month.
