Thanksgiving Dinner

jelliott · Nov 23, 2011

If any Load One drivers are away from home and near the terminal tomorrow please feel free to have Thanksgiving Dinner at the Lakes of Taylor Golf Course on the company. The dinner buffet will run from noon till 4 pm. All you will need is to show your Load One ID badge and everything will be taken care of. Seating may be a little haphazard but rest assured everyone will get plenty of good food. My family and I will be there at noon celebrating our holiday and hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

While I'll be home with my family..This is just another typical way that Load 1 goes the exra mile for those that contract with them....Thanks John, and while I will not partake , I know that those that will and the rest of us truly appreciate it!!!

May ALL of the Load 1 Family have a Great Thanksgiving....

I had someone PM me about if they are not with Load One. If you are with another expedite carrier and in the area tomorrow, PM me and I will get it set up for you as well. Many of the other carriers on here do a lot of business for us and help support Load One. I am happy to help any EO member have a nice Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving. Looks like I'll only be as close as St Louis, but I truly appreciate the invitation.

Thank you.

More most of my adult life I have been in business for myself in one way or another...and while doing so, i have also contracted with other people and companies...

As I look back and think, I really don't know when i have been as proud to be connected to a business and businessperson as I am right now....

Thank you John, you continue to go over and above to do what is in your heart...I so appreciate working with the whole of Load 1, but to say that I know and work with you is something that truly makes me proud...Thank You for all you do...

Roughly over a year ago I came to Load One.How greatly my life has improved and changed is an understatement.The blessings are more than I ever imagined.Things are getting taken care of that have haunted me for years.I am truly a happier person, so much more relaxed now. I have changed alot, and still have alot more improving to do on myself in all areas.I have learned so much in the meantime as well.I know, without a doubt, that this all would of not been possible if I was somewhere else.The closeness John has with us, as well as with each other, is amazing.Semi drivers, Sprinter drivers, straight truck drivers, office people from every department, we all go out of our way for each other.No other company that I have worked for has been like this at all.So, for thanksgiving, I am thankful for what has transpired over the last year while here at Load One.

And, thank you, John, for adding an additional light to light up the front car parking lot!

jelliott · Nov 25, 2011

Thank you Dave for all of the kind words and thoughts.

On the light.....Actually we contract Detroit Edison for the outdoor lighting. After a 2 months and 10 calls, they finally just fixed that light, lol. Of course they tore the heck out of the grass to do it!!!!

Turtle · Nov 25, 2011

I was wondering if we also contract with Detroit Edison for the flags out front.

Juuuuuuust an observation.

jelliott · Nov 25, 2011

Good observation. We will get those changed out. Can't believe I missed that.

jujubeans · Nov 25, 2011

I can't believe you did John...I know...it's still dark when you get in and dark when you go home! Because I know you feel the same way I do...

OntarioVanMan · Nov 25, 2011

Those flags don't last that long...I think spring you changed the USA one out...

Consider it....done! I have more control over flags than freight

Turtle · Nov 25, 2011

Of course, my keen observation is a result of me being parked where I'm not supposed to be, and having been here for a while with nothing to do but observe things.
