Great Turn
Out at Drivers' Meeting |
|
On March 30, 2001, we had our annual
Drivers Meeting. We had a good turn out with 86 drivers
attending. Hopefully we can get all of our drivers here next
year. After some
opening comments, Mike Manatt gave a brief overview of the
company, insurance costs, and why our rates have increased. Deputy Lawrence
McNaul talked about drugs and alcohol. Officer Kevin
Smith with the Iowa DOT showed the drivers what they look at
when doing a safety inspection. We tried something different
this year. He went over a truck and pup in the shop with (4)
small groups instead of just showing a movie. There were a lot
of good questions asked. I think it gave some of the drivers and
myself a better understanding of what to look for when doing
pre-trip inspections. John Peterson
had Greg Stigall with
Michelin Tire go over proper tire inflation and how important it
is to tire wear. Farmer Nicks
catered a very good noon lunch. We even had pie for Bud
DeMeulenaere. The afternoon was spent on company matters, paper
work, benefits, insurance claims, etc.
We saved the best for last, the drawing.
