Note from Bob Heniff
Dear Valued Customer:
I would like to take this opportunity to inform
you about an exciting milestone and other initiatives at Heniff. We
recently celebrated our 11-year anniversary as a company. Since day
one, our mission has always been the same--provide customers with
highly-secure and safe delivery of bulk chemicals, on-time, every time.
During these
difficult economic times, we have raised our laser-like focus on service
and on-time reliability to an even higher level to
ensure our customers remain highly satisfied. Our success in
this area is attributable, in large part, to our seasoned dispatchers
and our experienced and friendly drivers. To ensure quality
service, we hire the industry's best drivers. Fortunately, our
ability to hire these drivers has improved greatly over time as a
result of our well-known and growing reputation as an expanding
company and as a new breed of carrier that truly focuses on the
customer, one load at a time.
In many
ways, our reputation has enabled our company to weather the economic
storm as we've gained more business from some existing customers and
picked up new customers looking for better service.
On the
technology front, we've made great strides in 2009 toward the advancement
of our EDI capability. I'm pleased to say
we're now sharing
documents
electronically with our key customers. This capability will include
load tendering, order confirmation, shipment status, and
billing.
In 2009, we've
also invested heavily in new fleet maintenance software
to better manage preventive maintenance schedules, parts inventory,
fuel and tire usage, mechanic productivity, and much more. Like most
companies across the U.S.,
we're making every effort to reduce costs and increase efficiencies,
where possible.
As we continue
our effort to lead the industry, we look forward to working with you for
many years to come, and certainly welcome your on-going
feedback regarding ways we can better meet your transportation
needs.

Heniff Launches
Wellness Program
At Heniff, we're very committed to the health of
our drivers and improving their safety. As a result, we launched the
Heniff Health and Wellness Program to help admin employees and
drivers proactively understand health-related issues and to help
make lifestyle changes. The old adage, "an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure," is a core belief of our executive
team.
Today, it is well known that many drivers' health
problems are the direct result of lifestyle choices such as smoking,
lack of exercise and poor nutrition. Knowing that many of these
problems will not be overcome overnight, we launched a
long-term educational initiative that seeks to reduce or prevent
many of these health issues in the coming years.
We strongly believe this education, coupled with
regular wellness exams, will have the following benefits for our
drivers, Heniff as a company, and our customers.
-
Improved job productivity system-wide
-
Improved moral (i.e., happier employees)
-
Reduced driver turnover
-
Reduced absenteeism
-
Lower healthcare costs
For
more information about this program, please contact Randy Morris
