Erban Report - Erb Transport

From our Mississauga Terminal
We held our Employee Appreciation BBQ on Thursday, July 4,
2002. Thanks to Vernon Erb, Wendell Erb, Karen Buhr ( from
the Outlet Store) , Randy Steckly and Omar McLean (from
Clarica). Daryll Cioci and his team mates did an excellent job
at the BBQ. Special thanks go to Josh Reid, Terry Woody,
Daryll Cioci and Bob Labelle for their assistance manning the
BBQ. The weather was great and no one went away hungry.
Our BBQ co-cordinators were Ross McDonald and Kevin
Becker who worked hard at arranging, setting up, and
organizing this event. Thank you gentlemen, we certainly
appreciate the hard work done each year for this special day.
We just completed two years of no lost time due to injury
on August 2nd 2002. Way to go all terminal staff. Let’s go for
the three year safety award!
New to the dispatch area is Elizabeth Davies. She worked
with Nellie and now you will find her hard at work in
dispatch. Welcome Elizabeth! Also new in the area is Barry
Currah, who joined the linehaul group June 2002. Nice to
have you aboard. Bob Labell, our new operations manager,
has been organizing the docks so we can offer our
customers better service. Way to go Bob.
The yard has a new look, with no dust to cause
problems. Thanks to John Rogers and his team of helpers
who do such a good job.
