My Day Job

My family owns and runs a transportation company. You see our drivers live all over the country, deliver loads all over the country, and at any given time can be anywhere in the country (we also deliver to Canada and have even taken loads to Alaska! Pretty cool!)
This past weekend was a pretty big first for us. We had a Driver Appreciation Dinner. Trying to get 60 drivers to one part of the country can be a pretty daunting task. With a lot of hard work and planning we were able to get about half.
The Autri Ladies did a wonderful job in getting the plans up and off the ground to make this event happen.
We had a buffet style dinner, log class, door prizes to give away, and a money raffle. When all was finished the drivers were able to hook to their load and again begin their journey across the country, wherever that may be.

The Autri Crew. It doesn't happen without the hard work of these individuals. 

This is an example of what you might see if you came across one of our trucks. We haul RV's, horse trailers, boats, decon units (decon is a fancy word for bathroom trailer, just sounds a little more professional!) , shower units, concession trailers and more. We have even pulled a Planter's Peanut trailer across the country. That was a sight!

A few of the trucks in our fleet. 

The dinner was a hit. Just a big "Thank you" to all of our drivers and I truly do
 appreciate all that you do. 

Meet the Autri Ladies. Stephanie, Tami, Barb and Amy. Thanks for all of your hard work :) 

Our jobs can be pretty stressful at times. So when you are able to have fun, do it to the max!

Have a tip top day!
