A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

event, I’m amazed at the talent and expertise it takes to operate a truck. Every one of our contestants did a great job representing the company, and I hope next year we can field an even larger team in the event. I have three things to remind you of that are key to successfully growing our company in the tough business environment of today and in the future.

Greetings fellow employee-owners!

We are barreling toward the midway point of 2019, and that means our 10th annual ESOP meeting. Just a reminder: This year’s event will be on July 13 at the Nashville Zoo! Of course, we’ll

do a little “State of the ESOP” presentation, but most importantly, we will be announcing our updated stock price, and I’m confident it will be worth your time to be there.

1. SAFETY ABOVE ALL ELSE!

2. SERVICE — IT’S ALL WE HAVE TO SELL!

I have just a few random notes to share.

3. RETENTION — ALL OUR PEOPLE IN EVERY JOB IN EVERY DEPARTMENT EVERY DAY!

I have had calls and comments from several folks about the seriously upgraded driver’s area at our East Tennessee yard, and I appreciate those messages! That upgrade is the first of a number of improvements we are planning for our facilities over the next several months. We look forward to sharing those plans in the near future. Last weekend, I had the honor of attending the Tennessee Trucking Association’s Truck Driving Championship with six of our professional drivers representing both IKE and Big G. Every time I attend this

As always, I appreciate everything you do to make the Big G family of companies great, and please let me know if there is ever anything I can personally do to help you!

–Randy Vernon, President
