RECRUITMENT, A GOODBYE, AND A HELLO!
DRIVER RECRUITING — I have heard the word “unprecedented” thrown around by multiple experts to describe the world of recruiting over the past year. Recruiters have certainly been living in interesting times. Throughout the year, our driver recruiters have spoken to multiple candidates who say they have been sold a “bill of goods” by other companies —only to get there to find less than acceptable equipment, lower pay or miles than what they were sold, bad management practices, etc. At Big G Express, we sincerely strive to advertise what we can deliver. So, many drivers turn (or return) to us because we have the hard-earned reputation of being “good for our word” and for working to treat our drivers right. We appreciate your service and continue to work to provide you with the absolute best pay, home time, bonus programs, miles, benefits, equipment, etc., that we can deliver! TERRY CONQUEST — On Dec. 17, we celebrated the well-earned retirement of Terry Conquest, our Director of Driver Recruiting and Driver Services. Terry has been a good friend to everyone at Big G Express over his many years of service. He was always a source of lighthearted, good humor around the office and regularly provided a laugh along the way. We are told that Terry will be spending his leisure time with Rhonda somewhere between their boat, camper, and grandchildren and their activities. All of us at Big G Express wish Terry all the best!
NEW HIRE RECOGNITION — In closing, I would like to recognize one of our new hires at our 840/Mt. Juliet terminal. Michelle Gregory joined our Facilities Maintenance team in November. Since then, she has made a dramatic impact at the Mt. Juliet site. One of our leaders noted, “I have gotten multiple comments from drivers and office employees saying how much nicer it is. We all know it’s a full-time job …with so much traffic coming through there.” Another leader noted, “Counters around sinks and faucets have not looked that good in forever and a day!” Fantastic job, Michelle! We appreciate all that you do for our drivers and office staff at Mt. Juliet!
