LIFTOFF ON SHOP ENHANCEMENTS Houston Celebrates New Shop Expansion Our shop capabilities are soaring to new heights in Houston after some recent enhancements to our facility there. The expansion is close to 2,000 square feet, and it includes amenities that increase associate comfort, safety and efficiency. And they put us in an outstanding position for growth. The construction included the following: • Addition of two double-sided shop bays, allowing four trucks to be worked on at the same time • Forklift bay and complete upgrade on the truck wash • Addition of a shop office, shop breakroom and two bathrooms • Renovations to the existing bathrooms • Enhancements to the breakroom lounge (ice machine, refrigerators, microwave, coffee pots, big- screen TV and more) “The recent expansion and upgrades to our service center's shop have brought more than just square footage and new equipment – they’ve sparked a renewed energy and pride across the entire team,” says Service Center Director DEXTER MCMILLER .
Our Houston shop expansion includes the addition of two double-sided shop bays, a forklift bay, complete upgrade on the truck wash and much more.
As with all our enhancements, Dexter says it’s for a bigger purpose. “This expansion is about more than making our associates comfortable. It’s about investing in our people,” he explains. “And judging by their response, it’s an investment that’s already paying off.” As we move forward, we’ll continue to invest in the best facilities. Because investments like these go back to our Winner’s Circle . They keep our trucks rolling, which helps us deliver outstanding service to Our Customers . They give Our Associates the best quality of life possible on the job. And they secure Our Future by attracting even more good people who are looking to work for the best team! T m
