WRS ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES OFFERS NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT WRS Environmental Ser- vices Inc. (Yaphank, NY), a leading provider of environmental services, has announced the addi- tion of its new WRS HEPA High Rail Guzzler to its line of equipment and technologies. This new state-of-the-art equipment offers the industry’s most advanced truck mounted industrial vacuum for the extreme demands of the rail industry. To further increase the capabilities of this vacuum unit, WRS, in conjunction with the manufacturer developed this unit to be the first HEPA indus- trial high rail vacuum truck in the country. The WRS HEPA High Rail Guzzler features a steel boom that extends to the ground, eliminat- ing common wear problems that the vacuuming of ballast stone causes on conventional hose setups. A rear-door mounted operator station is incorporated to give total vacuum and track mobility control from the rear of the vacuum unit. This station provides full control of the vacuum system, high rail creep drive and braking system, boom movement, and all safety features, such as the emergency stop and vacuum relief. Forward and reverse are hydrostatically controlled via a heavy-duty creep drive transfer case with a joystick control mounted on the operator’s station. This creep drive allows the Operator to move the vacuum unit forward and reverse along the tracks without interruption of the vacuum activities, providing total operator control of the vacuum truck from a rear mounted control sta- tion. Additional safety is provided with a specially designed high rail camera option increasing operator visibility of blind spots on the sides and front of the vacuum unit. Full visibility of the boom and rail area are viewed on the multi-function display by the operator from the control sta- tion. “WRS utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and advanced technologies as well as a highly trained workforce to provide customers with quality workmanship, innovative and customized turn-key solutions,” said CEO Michael Rodgers. “The addition of the HEPA High Rail Guzzler to WRS fleet will allow us to better serve our clients and offer cost effective solutions.”

The star will not respond well to a flat refusal to do something. He or she will see that as a personal rejection, and it will be a huge negative for you when it comes to your relationship. Things won’t likely turn out well for you if that happens. 3)Learn from the star. They’ve got some magic; that’s why they are a star. You may initially be turned off by them and their big ego, but realize they provide you with an outstanding opportunity. Listen. Observe. Figure out how they became the star that they are. This experience could possibly change your life! 4)Try to forgive their social lapses. They may not introduce you. Or they could for- get to give you credit when it’s called for. Or they may just seem rude or aloof. If you let everything bother you, you’ll be likely to snap or otherwise misbehave and de- prive yourself of a learning opportunity. And remember, just because someone acts a certain way doesn’t mean they think that way. You have got to be forgiving to work with or for a star. 5)Figure out what drives them and always keep that front of mind. Is it their legacy? Is it their public image? Is it their need for control? Whatever it is, try to fig- ure that out and then use it as a means to influence the star. Maybe this sounds too manipulative to you? Then, you don’t know how to work with a star! 6)Show respect – always. Because their egos are big (often fueled by a deep-seated insecurity) – stars need a lot of respect. They may not always see the need to give it back – don’t get me wrong – but you have to give it. If the star wants to be ad- dressed as “Ms. So-and-so,” don’t fight it. If she always needs to sit at the head of the table, plan on it. If he is always 10 minutes late for a meeting, be ready for it. 7)Don’t cut the star out of the information-flow. He or she really hates being un- informed or caught off-guard. In fact, sometimes he or she may oppose a decision or stop something from happening JUST because he or she wasn’t uninformed and to show that he or she can do it. Paranoia is often part of the star’s personality. Don’t fuel it! Got any other thoughts on this topic you’d like to share? If so, email me ! Mark Zweig is founder and CEO of Zweig Group.
