Final Mile 301 representatives hard at work

This years crop of 301 representatives is made up of David Kolinofsky(not pictured), Tom Best, Nick Schooley and Frank Rodriquez.  As you can see the team is hard at work using some of the problem solving tools that 301 will expose them to.

The 301 course prepares our candidates for future leadership positions within our network and company as a whole.  It provides them with valuable problem solving tools and strategies that they'll be able to utilize to benefit the organization throughout their career.  During this year long course(3 weeks spent in Lowell), they will complete an account audit as well as a project that will bring measurable value to the organization.  They will work on this project with their leadership team as well as a variety of other resources.

2014 Final Mile Driver of the Year – Mike Stansbery

2014 proved to be a successful year for many of Final Mile’s Delivery Installation Specialists.   The award ceremony featured each Driver of the Month from 2014, as well as three “Million Mile” drivers.  The driver’s and their spouses were all invited and enjoyed being a part of the ceremony.   

The winner was Mike Stansbery from Final Mile Nashville TN, who was awarded with a $5,000 check and given a plaque to keep forever.   The Stansbery’s had a special night.  Mike and his wife, Tammy, were asked to stand during Craig Harper’s “Customer Experience” speech early in the evening and embraced in a special moment as they remembered their time together during the “Wreath Across America” event.     Mike had a very special year in 2014 and was very appreciative to receive the Driver of the Year award.   During the presentation of the award, there were some links mentioned that feature Mike and his family that are provided below.

The Jackson File Mile Team Strikes Again!

Congratulations to the Final Mile Jackson, MS LDC for being named Tempur-Pedic Hub of the month for January 2015. After recently coming off the win for TempurPedic's Hub of the quarter for Q4 2014, to be recognized again is a huge accomplishment. During the month the Jackson LDC delivered to 13 TempurPedic customers. On those deliveries they averaged 4.87 Aggregate Survey Score, 0 White Glove Issues, and a perfect 5.0 Scope of Work Score. Being selected out of 84 hubs for TempurPedic is a HUGE accomplishment. Great Job to the Jackson Team! Each employee will receive a TempurPedic pillow for their strong effort!

Celebrating Safety!!!

Our Pittsburgh Final Mile team took the opportunity to recognize their DIS/IS's this morning after completing a successful and extremely safe January.  The team composed of 5 DIS's and 3 helpers is now 99 days collision free and 212 days injury free.  Great job by the entire group, and a sincere thank you to Bryan(AM) and David(OS) for recognizing the importance of thanking their team for a job well done.

Charleston WV, First stop for the Final Mile Safety Cup

Greg Goodrum and Don Hughes visited our CHAWVx LDC on Monday and Tuesday and the team there were the first Final Mile group to get a picture with the coveted Safety Cup.  Goodrum's team walked away with the prize after sweeping all safety categories in 2014.  They have a repeat in mind and will look to continue their safety dominance.
