By now you have seen the images of the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and the devastation it left in its path. There is untold loss of property and that doesn't even compare to the loss of life that many are grieving today. Our hearts and prayers go out to those impacted by this horrific event.
In spite of the harsh realities we continue to hear stories of hope and unity from the communities impacted. You have seen individuals rescuing people they don't know, stores opening their doors for shelter and even large scale fund raising events like this one by J.J. Watt which is currently at $28 million dollars and counting.
We as a company have been encouraged beyond belief to hear of the efforts and dedication many of our team members have invested to help in their own way. Stories have come in from around the organization that illustrate how much our team cares and strives to live our our values each day. One driver team put their thoughts on paper and gave us permission to it share with you in the video below.
No matter where you find yourself today it is our hope that you are safe. For those that have loss in these events we send our heartfelt condolences and prayers. For those team members participating in efforts to restore we offer our sincere thanks.

Thank you to everyone who is participating in the recovery efforts both on the roads and in the dispatch seats coordinating. You have reminded me of why I love being in trucking.
