We received this email earlier from one of our customers about John Rogers and wanted to share it. We wanted to acknowledge it and let John know just how much we appreciate his hard work and going the extra mile to help out another driver. Well done John, well done!!!

Baggett Team,

A quick note to let you know how impressed I was with one of your drivers based in Lexington, SC. His name is John Rogers. Due to some recent issues, I am supporting the review and redevelopment of some op standards with regard to our outbound, magnet shipping process. I was out on the dock observing the loading process and speaking with Mr. John about his strapping and tarping processes. His process is very good. In fact, I would like to use his chaining technique as a part of our standard procedure. After the components were loaded, Mr. John pulled out to the yard so that he could finish securing his tarps and let the next driver could pull in and get loaded. After loading, this particular driver was new to our account and was struggling to figure out how he wanted to secure the load to the flatbed. I asked this driver if he would mind if I ran out to see if John would show him how he chained it. He did not mind and I ran out to see if Mr. John was still there. He was still there and was nice enough to take 15 mins to come back inside and show this driver how to secure the load.

Furthermore – he sent some photos to me via text on the loading/unloading process of the load to aid in building out our updated work instruction/SOP. Being in Logistics for 20 years, on both sides of the fence, I know that shippers and customers will certainly inform carriers when they do not perform well, but rarely send a note when they perform well. So I wanted to take a minute to recognize Mr. John Rogers for going above and beyond, and let his team know he is doing an excellent job in supporting our company.

At Baggett, we never forget that our truck drivers are people. We understand that you have a life outside of your truck. Which is why we get to know all our drivers—from their families to the kinds of jobs they prefer.

You're wonderful, Kathy! We always appreciate these words of encouragement. It lets us know we're treating drivers right, here at Baggett.

How does Baggett maintain such a strong record for driver retention? We treat people right. We consider our drivers to be partners, not employees. What’s more, you can expect the same level of respect and consideration from everyone at our company—whether it’s your dispatcher or the man in the corner office.

Cops will crack down on speeding during this year's CVSA driver-focused blitz The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has released new information on this year's Operation Safe Driver Week campaign.

Baggett Transportation is dedicated to safety. We strive to meet and surpass the expectations of our Drivers, Customers, Industry, and the Public as members of these respected associations.

"As an owner/operator with Baggett I can tell you they are very different from anyplace else I've ever been. I did what a lot of career drivers seem to do: Get bored and switch jobs every year or three. For 30 years I did this. I've now been with Baggett for almost 5 years and honestly, I have no desire to see what else is out there. I can't imagine being anyplace else. The old school drivers and owner/operators here that I've talked to all agree. We aren't going anywhere else." - Jack S.
