Driver Jelania Gautreaux brought an extra "sweet" reminder to the Memphis terminal yesterday. She wanted to show her appreciation to other drivers, ops, admin, safety, the shop, and other support personnel who keep our company running. She said it takes a village to make a trucking company successful, and she's not wrong. Jelania's cousin owns The Flour Shoppe of Acadiana, where this delicious cake was made. #trucking #truckingindustry

❄️ We're heading into a winter storm warning here in the Mid-South. We shared this information with our drivers, but it's really important for anyone driving in winter weather conditions. ❄️ - Always reduce your speed by at least half. It takes a lot longer to stop on slick roads. - If there's ice? Think twice. We tell our drivers to pull over and get off the roads if they're too icy to drive. Does it mean it takes longer to get our cargo to its destination? Yes. But it also means we are protecting our drivers and other motorists, such as emergency personnel, who have to be out on the roads. If you don't need to get out, don't. A joyride is not worth risking your safety or someone else's safety. The Mid-South is not as equipped to handle snow as northern states. Less equipment (and resources) means it could take longer to clear roads to make them navigable for the average driver. If you do need to get out, or like many truck drivers, are en route to a destination, be sure you're prepared in case you need to shut down. Have plenty of water, food, warm blankets, flashlights, batteries, and other emergency gear to get you through until its safe to travel again. Local police department social media pages are a great way to keep track of what the roads are like in your area, as most generally provide updates throughout the day. Be careful, and stay safe!
