At Highway Transport, we assemble and eat—a lot. These scenes appear to be from one giant party, when in fact, these driver +employee appreciation lunches were held at various Highway Transport locations across the United States. In Geismar, Louisiana, Lucian pit roasted. In Joliet, Harry Miller cooked meats on his beloved “Bertha” smoker grill. Knoxville hosted Big O’s food truck. Croydon enjoyed delicious deli. Garland gathered in a nearby bbq joint. Lake Charles dined in the shop bay. Florence catered a feast. And in Pittsburgh, Robin Wilson and Joe Gainey hit the local Ichiban for an evening meal. Ain’t no party like a Highway party. And the Highway party don’t stop! Highway Transport’s Chattanooga Service Center held their annual Employee Appreciation lunch on September 15th, catered by Rib & Loin. For fun, we played several rounds of useless knowledge trivia. Who knows; it may come in handy for one of those Thursday night trivia matches. A huge thanks to each and everyone for your part in Highway Transport’s success of Our Promise. Delivered. —Brenda Skoda – Service Ctr. Mgr. Every day, millions of Americans get behind the wheel and head out on the highways. Some of them are off to the grocery store, some to their place of work, and some are of the 3.6 million professional truck drivers in America. These are the hard-working professional men and women that deliver the goods that keep America moving. From the food we eat, the clothes we wear, to the medical supplies and equipment we use to stay healthy – professional truck drivers get things where they need to be, on time, safely, and securely.
