Each truck requires over 70 hours of wrench time & the process starts 30 days before we bring a truck into the shop and ends after 23 days of being in the shop, when we turn it back over to operations to head to the Middlebury Quarry!

We're excited about this great investment for our company driven by an awesome execution record from everyone supporting OMYA!

Baron Delahoyde was performing a walk-around on a truck and trailer before loading, and noticed that there was corrosion between the axle frame and the body frame - and the bolts were breaking off. He reported the issues to be repaired, preventing further damage or a possible accident.

This past week we had a Good Catch by George Staples in the Clarendon Quarry: He noticed a brake line leaking as he was performing his daily equipment inspection form.

Had George not noticed this, there could have been a possible brake failure which could have caused serious injury or equipment damage.

This year, fatalities from power haulage vehicles in the mining industry are the highest they have been since 2006, and have been a relevant talking point throughout our company.

Please make sure you are properly inspecting and reporting any mechanical issues in a timely manner so that we can address them as soon as possible.

There was another Good Catch where a driver pulled out in front of Mark McGinnis without looking. Mark quickly reacted by using his horn to alert the driver and utilized defensive driving to prevent an accident from occurring.

If Mark had been speeding or if he had been distracted, this could have gone very differently. Plan the amount of time it will take to get to where you are going, and give yourself some buffer time. Please don't become complacent while driving near traffic - all it takes is for one thing to go wrong before an accident occurs.

Four tickets and one parking pass available for each of the following:
