As I near the end of my Overnite career, I believe it’s fitting to list some of the achievements I earned during my time there. I’m not one to boast, but the story wouldn’t be complete without mentioning them.
Additionally, I must share that in 2008, my wife and I’s hometown of Columbus, Indiana, was hit with “The 100-Year Flood.” Unfortunately, all my awards and memorabilia from Overnite—including letters of recommendation, safety achievement certificates, and other mementos—were destroyed in the flood.
Nevertheless, here goes: Between 1985 and 1994, I earned five years of safe driving awards and eight years of safe work awards. I also received my 10-year service award.
I participated twice in the Indiana Motor Truck Association Truck Rodeo. The first time was around 1984, where I competed in the flatbed classification and was awarded the Rookie Award. The second time was in 1986, when I participated in the straight truck classification and took third place. Only first and second place winners advanced to the Nationals.
With all that said, I couldn’t have been more proud to have represented Overnite—the only LTL company I truly loved working for. It’s truly an honor to include this story in my writing at this time.
