The Cumulative Index for March is in and we stand at 3.09. This places us in 10th place in safety on the system. North Platte is 1st with an index of 0. Fifteen of our twenty-one services units have safety indexes below four. This indicates a strong trend toward everyone being more aware and working safely.

On the Fort Worth Service Unit, we had 3 reportable injuries in March. These were all related to limousine service. We now have a new limousine service. We are now using McCormick instead of Renzenberger.

Everyone should obey the safety rules required when they are riding in the limos. If you have any problems with the individual vans or drivers, contact a manager immediately.

Everyone needs to be proud of the job they are doing. It is impressive to see employees looking out for not only themselves, but also for each other. The Texas spring is upon us and we all need to be completely aware of possible inclement weather conditions. It is not unusual to have very large thunderstorms with strong winds and hail come up on a moments notice. Remember that we are also in Tornado Alley.

BE AWARE AT ALL TIMES!!
