July Safety Footwear Truck onsite - Trav's Outfitters

Trav’s Outfitter will be here on the date and times listed below. Due to recent policy changes, things will work a bit different this time. Employees working in the designated classifications (see policy details on The Core) may receive a payment to offset the cost of protective footwear.


Tues, July 18th – 8am to 10am – R&C Parking Lot

Tues, July 18th – 10:30am to 6pm – Outside Plant 2 Employee Entrance


Eligible employees who have not yet received safety shoe reimbursement in 2023 will receive that $175 offset payment on the July 21st paycheck. This payment was scheduled with the intent to coordinate your boot purchase with that payment, ensuring that the money is there for you to pay your credit card.


Full details of our updated Safety Footwear policy can be found on The Core > Departments > Human Resources/Payroll > Policies > Employee Handbook > Required Safety Footwear


Employees working through a temp agency are welcome to purchase shoes at their own cost.


Scheduling is online. Click the link to sign up. SAFETY TRUCK SIGN UP


Feel free to contact Sharon Iversen in the main office or call her at extension 5297 with any questions.


Supervisors/Leads please pass this message along to your team. Information can also be found on The Spark.

Spanish July Freight Train goals


Eligible employees who wish to receive the funds as a 401(k) contribution need to complete the “Freight Train Profit Sharing Plan 401k Authorization Form” found on The Core and provide it to HR by the last day of the incentive month.


Eligibility rules and calculations are outlined in "The Plan" document on the Core.

  • An employee is eligible for only one annual incentive plan. Thus, if you are eligible for this Plan, you would not be eligible for any other short-term incentive plans.
  • Employees are eligible on the first day of the plan month following or coinciding with 30 days of employment.
  • Fulltime employees are eligible for the full bonus amount.
  • Part-time plus employees are eligible for 50% of the bonus amount.
  • Part-time employees are not eligible.
  • Full-time and part-time plus employees eligible for each week need to be working that week at least 24 hours for weekend shift and 30 hours or more for all other shifts. Working is defined as utilizing pay code regular pay, overtime pay, holiday pay or training pay. Not included in these codes includes PTO, jury duty, bereavement, FMLA, LOA, military, NCNS, PLOA, Scheduled Absence, Unscheduled Absence, or Worker’s Compensation.  
  • Employees need to be employed with us on the date of payout to receive the bonus and have not given notice.
  • Contractors or leased employees are not eligible.

Values Signs in the Plants

In 2022, we worked pretty hard on defining what our core value behaviors look like. We took these values and added the behaviors and we are ready to showcase them more broadly. Look for these Core Value and Behavior signs in Plant 2, Plant 3 and R&C in July.
