1-800-637-9782 Delivering For Tomorrow's Needs Today! NEWS HOME / NEWS View Our Newsletter Archives Check out our 2022 Peterbilts! More new trucks on the way! Twenty 2022 Peterbilts ordered earlier this year have been arriving in our yard and they are beauties! But, looks aren’t everything. Safety is a priority across all of our affiliated companies, and these ten Peterbilt day cabs and ten mini sleepers are equipped with state-of-the-art safety features including collision mitigation and lane-departure detection. Netradyne cameras prevent risky driving and allow us to reward safe driving with bonuses up to $600/month! Covid continues to slow the supply of microchips and other components, making the delivery of new trucks unpredictable. We anticipate receiving an additional 55 new trucks throughout the remainder of this year including 25 for a dedicated account in Hazleton and 10 Volvo mini sleepers. All of these trucks will be fitted with cutting edge safety features. New trucks scheduled to arrive this year have automatic transmissions. As we look ahead to 2022, we have already reserved build slots and are considering including a mix of manual and automatic transmissions. Covid-19 Update Memo February 1, 2021 To: All Employees From: Jeff Shellenberger, President, and Jordan Kolb, Executive Vice President Re: Covid-19 Update Throughout this past year, our first priority has been keeping everyone in our companies safe. Thank you for your efforts! As the COVID-19 virus continues to mutate and spread around the globe, we are learning that several of our drivers have tested positive. We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that all employees are expected to follow the CDC’s guidelines to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. To protect yourself and others: Wear a mask over your nose and mouth. According to the CDC, experts do not yet know how long someone is protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. Avoid close contact with people outside of your household. Stay at least six feet away from others both indoors and outdoors. Avoid congregating. No buffet-type meals. Wash your hands often. Don’t come to work if you have a fever. If you have symptoms, notify your supervisor and arrange to work from home, if possible. Follow your doctor’s orders. Our companies are continuing to follow cleaning protocols using UV lights, Protexus Electrostatic Foggers and cleaning and sanitizing weekly. In addition, disinfecting wipes are located throughout our office space and can be used by anyone. Your dedication to our customers and care for each other is very much appreciated. If you have ideas about how we can better keep each other safe and healthy, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Covid-19 Update Memo November 19, 2020 To: All Employees From: Jeff Shellenberger, President, and Jordan Kolb, Executive Vice President Re: Covid-19 Since our memo of November 3, we have learned that other employees at our State Street location have tested positive for Covid-19. Family members of many of those employees have also tested positive. Please join us in keeping our co-workers and their families affected by Covid-19 in your thoughts and prayers and wish them a speedy recovery. Our first priority is keeping everyone safe and we are insisting that all personnel follow doctors’ orders and CDC guidelines before returning to work. In addition, the following measures are in place to help prevent further spread of the virus: All employees will practice 6’ social distancing and will refrain from congregating. To comply with Pennsylvania’s November 17 mandate, all employees will wear a face mask that covers both nose and mouth at all times while they are indoors. Anyone experiencing Covid-19 symptoms must immediately notify her/his supervisor and will work from home if applicable. Group meetings and buffet-type meals will not be held. No one will be permitted to come to work if they have a fever. The following cleaning protocols are in place: UV lights are being used to kill airborne viruses and bacteria. We have purchased and are using Protexus Electrostatic Foggers to sanitize trucks and our offices. These foggers disinfect with Hypochlorous Acid, the same chemical used in buses and airplanes. Our office space is sanitized weekly, including opening doors and windows to circulate outside air. Disinfecting wipes are located throughout our office space and can be used by anyone. Door knobs are being wiped down daily. Thank you for your persistence and cooperation as we deal with the obstacles 2020 has presented. Your commitment to providing top-notch service to our customers and care for one another is unprecedented and hasn’t gone unnoticed. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to either of us with any suggestions or questions. Covid-19 Update Memo November 3, 2020 To: All Employees From: Jordan Kolb, Executive Vice President Re: Covid-19 We recently learned that an employee in our York terminal has tested positive for Covid-19. Several other employees are home awaiting results from Covid testing. In light of this development, we are taking the following precautions: Employees in affected departments will work from home. We will follow the public school model of remote work for several days as the area is sanitized, aired out, and we take time to learn if other employees develop symptoms. Group meetings will not be held. Buffet meals will not be held. Wearing masks is mandatory any time an employee is away from her/his work station. Congregating at work stations is not permitted. All employees will practice social distancing. No one will be permitted to come to work if they have a fever. If you have any questions regarding your particular situation, please contact Dale Hippensteel or myself. These measures are about being proactive and aggressive regarding employee safety. Everyone’s cooperation will be critical. We have been very fortunate so far in this pandemic, and cannot let down our guard. Let’s continue to work together to protect each other and to continue to protect and serve our customers. We will get through this. Thanks to you all. Stay safe. Staying Vigilant – a Covid-19 Update Memo September 22, 2020 To: All Employees From: Jeff Shellenberger, President, and Jordan Kolb, Executive Vice President Re: Covid-19 The Coronavirus has been part of our lives for eight months now. Fortunately, our company has experienced only a limited number of quarantine situations and only a couple of positive test results. On a team of some 400 drivers and support staff, that is a remarkably low number. We have been blessed. Clearly, the precautions that we have taken, joined with the care that we have for each other, have helped to keep us all safe. Thank you all! There is much hope that a vaccine will soon be available. However, no one knows the timetable for a large-scale roll-out plan. In the meantime, and with the expected arrival of another fall/winter flu season, we must not let down our guard. From time-to-time, we all get a bit lax about social distancing and wearing masks. This is a gentle reminder to you that our customers and coworkers deserve our diligent care. Please continue to maintain the safety protocols that we have posed around our facilities, whether you are a driver or a member of our support team. When you cannot social distance, be sure to wear a mask. Do not go onto a customer’s property without wearing a mask. In the office, when you are not sitting at your personal workspace, wear your mask and, of course, sanitize. As other flu symptoms may come with the changing of the season, do not come to work if you are not feeling well or if you have a fever. Instead, stay home and get a Coronavirus test so that you have some idea as to what you may be battling. Follow your physician’s instructions and the company protocols/CDC guidelines. We have stayed safe and stayed open, serving our customers and communities in these days of risk and necessity. Let’s commit to each other that we will do all we can together to maintain a safe workplace for everyone’s sake. With gratitude for each of you and the job you are doing, Jeff Shellenberger Jordan Kolb Announcing Enhanced Driver Benefits and a Cookout to Celebrate! Click here to learn about changes to our driver benefits package! revised-driver-benefits-july-1-2020 Moving from “Red” to “Yellow” MEMO May 22, 2020 To: All Employees From: Jeff Shellenberger, President and Jordan Kolb. Executive Vice-President Re: Covid-19 Update The battle with Coronavirus has progressed to some measure of relaxed regulations. Effective this date, many parts of Pennsylvania have moved from the Governor’s “Red Zones” to “Yellow Zones” in the reopening of the Commonwealth. It is clear that our team of drivers and support staff has taken the recommended precautions seriously. We consider ourselves blessed that only one or two of our employees entered a self-quarantine; and no employee, that we are aware of, has reported testing positive for Covid-19. “Thank You” all for the great care you have taken in keeping yourselves and all of us protected and safe. Operating as a life-sustaining business through this time of personal risk was a courageous effort. Please understand the risk is not disappearing! Even though some counties may now be in the “Yellow,” masks, social distancing, monitoring temperatures, and sanitizing will continue to be part of the way we, and our customers, do business. We are asking all employees to continue to follow the recommendations of the Governor’s Office and the CDC as our country moves toward reopening. Moving from “Red” to “Yellow” does not mean “All Clear!” We cannot risk causing a spike in recurrence of a potentially deadly disease by our personal choices. Please be aware that keeping yourself safe and protected is still a priority for you and all those around you. We have stayed safe and stayed open, serving our customers and communities in these days of risk and necessity. Business is making a slow, but certain comeback. Let’s be healthy and ready for the rebound. Live safely and “proceed with caution” into the days of the “Yellow Zone.” With gratitude for each of you and the job you are doing, Jeff Shellenberger Jordan Kolb Responding to Covid-19 MEMO May 1, 2020 To: All Employees From: Jeff Shellenberger, President and Jordan Kolb. Executive Vice-President Re: Covid-19 Update As Coronavirus continues to change the way we live, “Thank You,” to all our employees who are still doing what needs to be done during these stressful days. We are proving to be a “life-sustaining” business that can be counted on by our customers and community. A special “Thanks” to the truck drivers who take on added risks everyday as you go into areas we can only hope are clean and safe for you. We also appreciate the efforts of our many customers who are taking steps to keep their employees, and ours, as safe as possible. The good news is we have a replenished supply of face masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer! Stop by dispatch to pick up what you need to stay protected. All around our industry the early demand for freight delivery when the virus hit has pulled back. However, our customers continue to offer us substantial business. We are accepting some freight that is outside our normal routine and delivery schedules. Your willingness to step out of your routines during this time is something that may be required, and will be appreciated, as we meet the varied needs of customers and keep our trucks rolling. Management fully expects a turnaround with a return of higher freight volume as the economy slowly reopens. Everyone, “Hang in there!” In the meantime, keep yourself safe, practice social distancing, and follow the CDC Guidelines, as well as, the Company protocols we have been posting. With gratitude for each of you and the job you are doing, Jeff Shellenberger Jordan Kolb Compliance with the State’s Mandated Use of Masks in the Workplace MEMO April 15, 2020 To: All Employees From: Jeff Shellenberger, President Re: State Mandate Regarding Use of Masks in the Workplace As you are probably aware, today the Governor’s Office and the PA Health Secretary issued a State mandate requiring masks to be worn in the workplace. Our companies are doing our very best to procure a sufficient number of masks for every employee, and as you can imagine, that is a difficult task right now. We have already placed an order for 2,000 masks and gallon of hand sanitizer, which have yet to arrive. In the meantime, if you have your own supply of homemade or commercial masks – styled with folds on the front and dual ties – that you can wear, that will be a huge step in helping us meet the workplace requirement. If you do not have masks and cannot make your own, please contact your supervisor or fleet manager. We have a limited supply on hand. Directions for making your own masks can be found by following this link: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/DIY-cloth-face-covering-instructions.pdf The mask order takes place immediately. Enforcement begins Sunday evening, April 19. We will all get through this Coronavirus war together! Thanks for all you are doing. Stay positive and wash your hands! Jeff Additional Information for Drivers Regarding Coronavirus March 27, 2020 To: Drivers From: Jeff Shellenberger and Jordan Kolb Re: Coronavirus Information Thank you again to all our drivers who are out there doing such a great job at a time of risk to yourselves. We know it cannot be business as usual for you, so we encourage you to take every precaution to stay safe and healthy. Remember that Lysol spray and other sanitizers will be available in dispatch as we can procure them. Our customers are truly grateful that we are continuing to keep essential freight moving and that is thanks to you all! Here is some additional important info for you. 1. The Office Staff May Be Working Remotely While Office Staff is working from home everyone is expected to keep up their efficiencies at normal levels. This is not the “Staff on break.” The temporary “work from home” protocol is to ensure that if the terminal would get shut down because of the virus our business will continue as usual. This step is to prevent any spread of the virus through the company, and will directly benefit drivers as work assignments and payroll will continue without interruption. 2. In the Event that a Driver Gets the Virus This will be a little more unpredictable. If you have a fever do not report for work. If you are on the road and begin to feel ill, it will be up to you to decide if you are able to get to a safe location to park or make it back to the terminal. If you think you may have the virus you must go home and quarantine for the required 14 days. Do not return to work until after you have had a 72 hour period with no fever without the aid of medication. Please alert the Shop if you think you have been exposed because your truck will also need to be quarantined and sanitized. 3. How Some of Our Customers Are Helping During this Time Additional cleaning at nearly every facility Implemented procedures that should prevent anyone with symptoms from entering Also confirming that we are operational and being assured by your dedication to do the job 4. Restricted Areas At The Terminal Please do not enter areas where you do not directly work. We are trying to observe “social distancing” which is the #1 preventive measure in this battle. Don’t be insulted, this is a necessary strategy. Even though the shops may have open doors, they are also restricted areas right now. An open letter to all employees regarding the Coronavirus March 20, 2020 To our team members: No one could have foreseen the changes to life that COVID-19 has brought to our world, nation, and local communities. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been quarantined and with those medical professionals who are on the front line of treatment and defense. In like manner, our niche in the trucking industry is now categorized as “life sustaining.” Many of our loads are critical to restocking depleted store shelves. A great responsibility is ours to keep our trucks rolling because our neighbors are depending on us to do our job. Trucking company staffs and, truck drivers in particular, are now among the “heroes” as our country gets through these times of shortage and on to better days. Thank you all for being the best team we could have “for such a time as this.” You need to know that we are taking every precaution we can to keep everyone safe. We have paid for extra cleaning and sanitizing around the facility and implemented a protocol for everyone’s protection. As we practice “social distancing” we ask that no one gets insulted; it’s an absolutely essential practice. We are providing Lysol spray and latex gloves to our drivers as we can get them. Remember to follow the CDC Guidelines: If you have a fever higher than 100.4, do not come to work. Sick employees should not return to work until their fever has stayed below 100.4 for at least 24 hours, without the aid of fever reducing medication If you think you are at risk from exposure to someone who has been in a location where the virus has been suspected, please call your physician for instructions; don’t come to work. Do what you always do to fight the flu. Wash and sanitize hands often and properly Cough/sneeze into your elbow or a tissue Practice “social distancing” Once again, “Thank You” to each member of our team. We must work together and support each other to meet two huge goals right now. First, be safe and take every precaution to stay healthy. Second, we have a critical job to fulfill, so just do your job with pride. Our community and nation are depending on trucking during this time of national emergency. It’s time for our companies to shine! If you have any questions, or need clarification feel free to contact me or Jordan Kolb.

Local Head Start group to visit in December York, PA. November 1, 2016. Seventeen children will visit S&H Express’s Broad/State Street offices on Thursday, December 15 for a pizza party and gifts. Employees of S&H Express purchase toys, clothing, and other gifts, which are packed into book bags, backpacks and duffle bags and distributed to the children. Educational supplies and materials such as construction paper, puzzles, books, crayons, and art supplies are also collected and donated to the children’s classroom. “The party flies by. The children eat lots of pizza and tear open their gifts. They all want to sit in a truck and blow the horn. Then, before you know it, they’re leaving,” explains Kendra Nealon, Director of Recruiting and Retention for S&H Express. Nealon and co-worker Tyrone Snellings have coordinated the event for several years and have seen an increase in the number of children served.

STEVE SHELLENBERGER ADDRESSES THE LOSS OF RICH ANTRIM York, PA. November 7, 2014. It is with the deepest sense of sadness that I share with you the news of my dear friend Rich Antrim’s passing this past Friday evening. Rich and I spent most of the day together on Friday visiting our Landis operation in Reading. We came back to York and Rich left for his hunting camp in Wellsboro, PA. His brother, who lives in the area, found his body in the woods next to his tree stand. The feeling at this point is that he had a heart attack. Rich and I were friends and business associates for just over 40 years. Memories of our time together – through good and bad – will be with me for the rest of my days. As a matter of information, in addition to my present position as Chairman and CEO of the Shellenberger Family of Companies, I will now take on the position of President. I am fortunate and blessed to have the strength and dedication of Senior Management, as well as every employee of the Shellenberger Family of Companies. We will pull through this painful time, and as a tribute to Rich’s memory, we will continue to build an organization that would make him proud. Thank you all for your support during these times.
