MARCH GOOD CATCH WINNER!

Congratulations to Chris Heibler, our Good Catch winner for March!

Chris discovered the tipper at the Clinton County Landfill was not level. If he had continued to dump his load instead of investigating more, it could have flipped the trailer, which could have led to injuries and damage.

Great job, Chris!

Safety Orientation Goes Digital

Challenging times call for innovative solutions, so our technology and safety teams joined forces to launch safety orientations conducted online.

New employees now learn about our safety practices and culture from the comfort of their favorite chair at home.

Industry Leading

Happy Customer!

A customer had such a good experience with us, they took the time let us know about it.

Rob Miles hauled 3/4" stone and mulch to Fair Haven and the thrilled customer said "he did a great job getting to where they wanted both loads dumped," and that he was even better than they expected!

Great work Rob!
