Carriers offer goodies during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week
Summary
Fleet Manager Chris Armstrong said the company is also trying something new this year: on-the-go snack packs, since drivers’ schedules don’t always align for a group meal. “Since our drivers are in and out, we try to make sure that the food can be easily stored, warmed up and portable so they can grab stuff and head out,” said RMI CEO Ashley Moyle Kordish. But “we try to really make it about the professional drivers versus ‘food day’ in the office,” said Jetco Director of Employee Engagement Amanda Schuier. Jetco’s president sent out a video via its learning management system company-wide to give an update on its business and to show appreciation to the team. Jamie Hagan, whose Aberdeen, South Dakota-based Hellbent Xpress currently boasts 12 drivers, dispenses Amazon gift cards.
