INVESTING IN OUR PEOPLE FIVE DRIVERS ASSIGNED BRAND-NEW VOLVOS
Maintaining one of the most modern fleets of trucks in the industry is an investment worth making. It’s one way we show our commitment to providing the latest safety technology and the most advanced comfort features for our associates. During Driver Appreciation Week , five lucky Truckload drivers were assigned brand-new Volvo sleepers. After an extensive test earlier this year, we are adding more than 200 Volvo VNL 860 models to our fleet.
The drivers whose names were selected for the new Volvo assignments:
THANG CAO , Jackson TN RACHEL FLANAGAN , Tupelo JONATHAN GONZALEZ , Chattanooga
BRANDON LANE , Knoxville ALEX THOMPSON , Charlotte
“Making this kind of investment in tractor technology is really an investment in our most valuable resource: our people,” says BARRY BLAKELY of our executive leadership. The Volvo VNL 860 features improved fuel efficiency and includes safety technology like Active Driver Assist, roll stability, blind spot warning, electronic braking, predictive cruise control and collision mitigation. Congratulations to these five associates for winning the drawing, and thank you for everything you do to serve our customers and secure our future! T m
