HEALTHY TIP

Driving can be stressful at times, so it’s important to find ways to relieve stress.

First, figure out what causes you stress.

Second, try to manage your stress when it occurs. Find ways to distract yourself: If you can get out of your truck, go for a short walk, and get some sun. If you’re driving, listen to your favorite music.

Make relaxation a habit, too. When at home, make time to do the hobbies you enjoy, which will help you unwind.

“SHOES FOR CREWS”

Don’t forget about this great program.

This program now applies your $70.00 credit at the time you order. They provide one pair of slip resistant shoes to each driver every year, up to $70.00.

Here is the step you take to order......

Congratulations to our April

“Employee of the Month”

DJ Gray

DJ has been employed by Knowlton Trucking for 2 years now.

You always show up to work on time and prepared. You show initiative in doing daily tasks the proper way every time. You take initiative also on doing a proper pre-trip. You take the time out to coach fellow drivers on the best ways to solve problems on their current route they run. You go above and beyond when it comes to things that are requested and that might be outside of your job duties. -Donald Knowlton

Thank you, DJ, for your continued success and teamwork with Knowlton Trucking. He’ll be receiving a $25.00 gift card. 

We see you, and we appreciate you!
