These fine folks won through a drawing we held for each of our drivers that didn’t receiving a single citation or violation for the entire first quarter, which is an awesome accomplishment!  Aside from our sincerest gratitude for their outstanding work, each driver was also awarded 250.00!

Three Keys for the Month

• Safe Driving is not something we take lightly and as an organization we are committed to rewarding those who consistently go above and beyond to stay safe!
• If you’re an experienced mechanic with great work ethic and attitude then Premier 94 might be the spot for you.  We are currently in the market for a new mechanic and appreciate all interest.
• Don’t forget the importance of making sure your bill of lading matches your dispatch info.  As shippers get busier, it’s on US to help hold them accountable and make sure that the freight we’re leaving with is the order we came for!

The Bottom Line
Monthly tips that will keep our money in our wallets, not paying fines!
With the first quarter of 2017 complete, Long Haul is pleased to report a successful outcome largely in thanks to the great work from our operations staff and driving team on a daily basis!  As the year rolls on and we continue to get busier, it is critical that we keep a close eye on the small details of our work in order to ensure important matters do not slip by!  One area that this can pertain to is the importance of making sure our bills match the trip that is sent out from dispatch.  Sometimes when loading at large facilities the folks in shipping can lose sight of what goes where and mistakenly put the wrong load on us.  Always remember the importance of double checking that what’s on your bills match your dispatch info and if it doesn’t, it must be communicated to dispatch ASAP!
