THE 2 MOST IMPORTANT DATES AT BIG G

A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

DEC. 5 AND JAN. 2 Those two dates are just around the corner, and they both hold a considerable amount of significance for the employee-owners of the Big G family of companies. Let me tell you why! Dec. 5, 2019, is the 10th anniversary of the meeting where the previous owners (Pat, Jack, Patty, and David) announced the creation of our employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). Jan. 2, 2020, marks the 25th anniversary of Pat and Jack’s founding of Big G Express. For me, Jan. 2 is the 24th anniversary of my start here at Big G. It’s hard to believe Big G has come so far from a five-truck startup at a single desk in the back corner of an LTL terminal here in Shelbyville, Tennessee. A lot has changed in almost 25 years. As of this writing, we

are an employee-owned family of companies operating over 600 trucks and nearly 1,700 trailers. We should be proud of what we are and look forward to the future with much excitement. The success we have had over the years came as a result of many people committing themselves to doing things right. The two main things that we have done right over the years are providing quality service and doing it safely. Doing those two things well in the future will be even more vital if we are to thrive as an organization.

I’m proud to be a part of this organization, and I hope that you are too.

I hope you all have a great Christmas and a happy new year!

–Randy Vernon, CEO
