Distracted When You Drive?
Do you still use your phone while you drive? Do you just have to read that last message? Just a quick reply? Are there any other distractions when you drive? Recent studies have listed texting / emailing as more dangerous than drinking and driving. Sometimes the result is not just a fender bender. Here is a PSA on texting while driving from the UK.

Josh Hogan – Competing With the Best
Fresh off his 2nd place finish at the CRMCA Driver Championship held in Charlotte, Josh Hogan of Randleman represented the company at the NRMCA’s 4th annual National Driver Championship held in Indianapolis Oct 17 – 19.
With his wife Lisa, son Josh Jr and daughter Rebecca cheering him on, Josh competed against 33 other drivers from producers in 19 states across the country. This year marked the first time a female mixer driver competed as a winner of the state competition in Arkansas.
The competition was very spirited as these drivers represent the best of the best within our industry. The event

involved three parts, each of which earned the participants points toward the overall championship.
The timed pre-trip inspection requires the drivers to find staged deficiencies while the timed written test measures the drivers knowledge about truck safety, product quality, truck maintenance and environmental responsibilities.
The most popular event was the skills driving course which was held in the infield of the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indianapolis 500 race.
The course required the participants to go through 8 different stations that measure the driving skill in situations ranging from parallel parking to backing and pulling forward to see how close they could come to a stationary object without hitting it.
Although he did not place in the top 3, Josh represented the company well and showed why he is considered one of the best in the country. Congratulations on a job well done.
