Premier 94
Please welcome Brad Behren to the Long Haul family.  Brad will be the Fleet Maintenance Manager for Premier 94.  Brad was the shop manager at All-State Peterbilt in Eau Clair, WI.  He comes with over 15 years of experience, including Cummings and MX experience.  He will be a great asset to the company.

Premier 94 is in the process of buying a FSX-DPF cleaning machine to perform the much needed preventative maintenance on the new emission engines.  Discounted prices will be available to all Owner Operators.   Premier 94 will soon be able to perform Peterbilt warranty work.  Watch for more details on both exciting additions!

Safety:
We are pleased to report that our Safety Measurement Scores are headed in the right direction.  We have seen a positive decrease in our Hours of Service, Unsafe Driving and Crash Indicator scores.  We appreciate all your efforts in making this happen.  Keep up the good work!

Please welcome Tammy Johnson to the Safety Dept.

Dispatch:
There are 2 new faces in Dispatch- Sara Spurbeck and Aaron Barthel. Sara will be assisting Brian and Dave and will also be helping with Canadian crossings.  Aaron is an intern who will be working with Andrea and also assisting brokerage.

Another noticeable change in Dispatch is that doors were added to block off the Minnesota dispatchers. This was done to help minimize traffic flow and distractions in that tight area.  If you need to speak to one of those dispatchers, please let Nicole know and she’ll call them to the lobby. Thank you for understanding the need to block this area off.

Sales:
Long Haul is excited about many new opportunities that have come our way. We have added many new high quality shippers, which is very valuable for drivers and dispatchers alike. Please continue to provide the professional business you do to deliver the excellent service we are known for.

What driver wouldn’t want to drive this fully loaded rig??
