MILLION MILE ACCIDENT FREE FLEET
Date: Fri, Nov 25th, 2011 12:00:00 am
Andrus Transporation began a Million Mile Accident Free Fleet Contest on March 24, 2011. We've had several fleets get very close to the million mile (preventable accident free) mark and then have a fender bender or something else occur which disqualifed the fleet. On Wednesday, November 16th, David Roberts' fleet was the first Andrus Fleet to hit the million mile, no preventable accidents mark. Congratulations goes out to each driver that is part of this "million mile fleet." In January of 2012, Andrus will be having a Safety Banquet in St. George to honor those involved in this remarkable accomplishment. The drivers are encouraged to bring their spouses with them for this banquet. Davids' Drivers will receive a "Million Miles Fleet Jacket" as well as several other gifts. We will have more information on this Awards Banquet, once we determine a final date.
We need each Andrus driver to keep in mind that this is a continuing contest. It is our goal to have each Andrus Fleet, reach the million mile, accident free, milestone. A big Congratulations to the David Roberts Fleet!
