9 Safety First: Driving in the Snow PREPARING FOR WINTER DRIVING: Before driving, it is VERY important to spend a few minutes taking preventative actions before getting into your vehicle while traveling in snow: Do a pre-trip inspection of your windshield wipers, front headlights, taillights, window defrost, tires & brakes prior to driving. Have an emergency kit for your vehicle that includes: jumper cables, flashlight, flare, first-aid kit, blanket/sleeping bag, snow shovel, boots, packaged/canned food, water and sand bags for added traction. Expect delays and leave 45 minutes prior to your normal departure time for work. Be a defensive driver! Reduce your speed and extend the following distance between you and the car ahead to no less than 6 car lengths for city driving, and 12 car lengths for highway driving. When braking, be sure to ease your foot on the break and to make no sudden movements while stopping. Make the call. If visibility is restricted to less than 40 feet in front of you for city driving and 100 feet for highway driving, you should not be driving at all. Longevity

Within the past two months, we had 4 individuals reach that milestone: Rachel Berry, Eugene LaBelle & John Ray have each been with the company for FIVE years. Jeff McIntosh reached 10 years in December as well! Congratulations to them, we are so thankful for your hard work and dedication to the company. Wreaths Across America Update As many of you already know, Pottle's participated in Wreaths Across America again this year, with two of our very own drivers Dean Loupin & Bob Chandler participating in this event; we also had one of our Logistics drivers haul one of our trailers into Arlington as well. This is something that Pottle's is very passionate about, having family members and several employees that are Veteran's themselves it is something we are very honored to be a part of. This year WAA met their goal of 246,700 wreaths for Arlington National Cemetery, which meant that EVERY SINGLE Veteran that is laid to rest in Arlington received a wreath on December 16th. What an amazing thing to be apart of, we are so blessed to be a small part in something SO BIG! Here are some pictures from the events, in case you didn't catch them on our Facebook page.
