As we bid farewell to 2023, we can't help but reflect on the remarkable achievements of our dedicated ESI Driver Applicators and Operations & Delivery Staff. This year has been nothing short of extraordinary, as we not only met but surpassed our ambitious "Trucking WIG Goal" with flying colors. The stellar performance and commitment of our team have set new standards for operational excellence and safety.

Surpassing Expectations:

Our goal for 2023 was to achieve fewer than 21 violation severity points, a target that might have seemed ambitious to some. However, our remarkable Driver Applicators at ESI not only met this target but exceeded expectations with an impeccable record - ZERO citations! The combined distance covered by our team reached an impressive 1.2 million miles, showcasing not only efficiency but an unwavering commitment to safety.

A Year of Growth and Improvement:

Comparing this to the previous year, where our goal was to achieve fewer than 18 citations in 2022, we faced some challenges and narrowly missed the target with 21 violation severity points. The growth and improvement witnessed in 2023 are nothing short of remarkable, illustrating the dedication and resilience of our team.

Celebrating 1 Year of Violation-Free Driving:

On September 27th, our ESI Driver/Applicators will mark the milestone of being violation-free for an entire year. Since our last DOT violation on September 27th, 2022, our team has accumulated an impressive 1,110,402 miles on the highways. This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our Driver/Applicators, Driver Supervisors, Managers, DOT Compliance, and all those who participated in the Buddy Check initiative. The Buddy Check, developed by EnviroTech, is an intuitive procedure where peers and staff members join forces to complete driver inspections on one another's equipment.

A Proud Team Effort:

This accomplishment was truly a team effort, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation to each member of the ESI family. Your hard work, diligence, and commitment to safety and operational excellence inspire us all. As we celebrate these achievements, let's continue to set new standards and strive for even greater heights together.

Conclusion:

Congratulations to all our dedicated ESI Driver Applicators and Operations & Delivery Staff! Your accomplishments in 2023 have not only made us proud but have set a benchmark for excellence in the industry. As we look ahead, let's continue to build on this success and create a future marked by innovation, safety, and continued achievements. Thank you for your exceptional contributions, and here's to another year of surpassing expectations and reaching new milestones together!
