Evans Announces
2011 Driver Safety, Grand Prize Recipient
The Evans Network of Companies presented a 2011 Harley Davidson
Motorcycle to Ernest (Ernie) Newby, an independent driver, in
recognition of his safe driving record. Mr. Newby is based at
the Jacksonville terminal of Evans Delivery and has been with
the company for 11 years.
“Safety is a cornerstone of the Evans Network of Companies,”
noted Kim Lorimer, Vice President and Director of Safety. “The
incentive program is one way we promote and reward our drivers
who operate safely throughout the year.”
To qualify for the motorcycle grand prize, drivers must have had
no accidents or incidents in a calendar year, as well as keeping
proper documentation such as daily logs, fuel purchases and
miles traveled. IN addition to the grand prize random drawing,
monthly drawings are held for prizes including computers,
digital cameras and Evans apparel.
“We’re thrilled Ernie won,” stated Tammy Bennett, agent at the
Evans Jacksonville terminal. “We’ve known him for many years. He
handles our Wal-Mart MacClenny route and his records are
immaculate. He takes care of things before I even know about
them and does whatever it takes to get the job done and to serve
our customers.”
The motorcycle was presented at Harley Davidson Bowling Green,
Kentucky to Ernie and his wife Teresa. The couple resides in
Callahan, Florida and is expecting their first granddaughter
this October.
Albert L. Evans, Sr. Scholarships Presented
Albert Evans Sr. founded Evans Delivery in 1939. Without the
benefit of a high school education, he created a successful
organization that is thriving over 70 years later. He was a
strong believer in the importance of education and thus, in
his honor and memory, the Evans Network of Companies is
proud to annually present the Albert L. Evans, Sr.
Scholarships. . Since its inception in 2007, the scholarship
fund has awarded over $27,000 to sons and daughters of Evans
Network of Companies employees and partner agents.
Four more students will benefit from Albert L. Evans, Sr.
Scholarships when they head off to college this fall. The
2011 recipients are Emma Owen, daughter of Richard Owen,
night dispatcher at West Motor Freight; Dania Roach,
daughter of Woodstock, Georgia independent contractor Aston
Roach; Malorie Fink, daughter of Single Point of Contact
Team Member Karen Fink from Schuylkill Haven, PA; and
Angelise Stuhl, daughter of George Stuhl, President of Evans
sister company DM Transportation. The scholarships were
announced at the Evans Network of Companies’ annual agent
meeting held on Hilton Head Island in May.
“The scholarship program was started to honor my grandfather
who passed away in 2006,” noted Samantha Bates. “He believed
in education and in thanking our employees for their hard
work and commitment to Evans. Two of our initial scholarship
recipients graduated from college this year and I’m looking
forward to hearing from all of the students as they continue
towards their degrees.”
Albert L. Evans, Sr. Scholarship winners receive $1,000 per
year for each year in college provided they maintain an
academic standard of 3.0. The scholarship awards are sent
directly to their schools.
New Award Created to Honor previous Scholarship Winner
Samantha Bates also announced the establishment of the
Jordyn Agostini Memorial on Angels Wings Book Award. The
Book Award was created to honor the memory of Ms. Agonstini,
a previous Evans Scholarship recipient, who was tragically
killed in a plane crash earlier this year.
“Jordyn was special,” said Mrs. Bates. “She kept in touch to
let us know how school was progressing, always wanting to
let us know she was appreciative and would make us proud.
This is a way to keep her legacy alive.”
The inaugural winner of the Jordyn Agostini Memorial on
Angels Wings Book Award of $500 is Joshua Thomas, son of
Hale independent contractor Stephen Thomas in Columbus,
Ohio.
Evans CSA Fireside Chat
Season’s Greetings:
At this time of the year, I wanted to put
special emphasis on an initiative that we believe has the
potential to shape the industry and our company as we move to
the future. I am referring to the regulations surrounding
CSA and how we will need to function starting now to comply and
prosper in this new operating environment. I am sure we
will be successful.
I have prepared a video to further explain
the importance of our combined efforts to address the CSA
challenge, and what you can expect from Evans Delivery as we
move into 2012. I invite each of you, your employees and
your owner operators to view this video in the coming days on
the Agent Portal of our website
Evans CSA Fireside Chat. I ask for your support and
partnership in the critical CSA improvement initiative.
Best Wishes for a wonderful Christmas
Season and a prosperous New Year…
