NEW HOUSTON TERMINAL UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

 
More than 2 years ago, ATS management began the search for a new yard in Houston, TX that will ensure stability and growth within the key Houston, TX market.  Finally, the details are mostly worked through and we have begun the process of actually “moving dirt”. 
In addition to a large drop yard/trailer storage area, we have an equally important effort to improve driver comfort and amenities. 80 acres is the total land area of which 12.5 acres will initially be developed. Phase I construction plans include a building that will contain  combination restroom and shower areas.
  
The new site is located at 1903 Sheldon Rd. Channelview, TX 77530.  The new terminal will meet the Department of Homeland Security’s C-TPAT program requirements to include advanced security features such as cameras and a fenced yard with an automated gate system for the drivers to enter the property using their fuel card. 
The remainder of the property will be developed as future needs arise. The tentative date of opening is scheduled for late December 2010 dependant upon weather conditions during the construction process. 
There will be more information to follow on the developments of this exciting new addition to the ATS network.

ATS Driver takes home first place finish.

St. Cloud, Minn. — June 18, 2008 — Anderson Trucking Service, Inc. (ATS) is pleased to congratulate driver David Grim who received 1st Place in the Minnesota Truck Driving Championships held June 6th - 8th, 2008. Grim came to ATS Inc. as a company driver in April 2005, and then became an Owner Operator, purchasing a new truck last year. The Truck Driving Championship is an annual competition hosted by the Minnesota Trucking Association.

Grim (Smicksburg, PA) competed in the 5-axle sleeper berth class, one of eight classes in the contest. In Saturday’s competition, Grim achieved the second highest cumulative score in his class following the written test, personal interview, driving skills course and a pre-trip inspection. The top three drivers in each class then drove on Sunday to determine first, second and third place.

“I am extremely proud to have David Grim and the entire ATS Roadeo Team represent ATS in this annual competition,” stated Rollie Anderson, president and CEO. “They are a fine group of drivers who exemplify the best in their industry.”

The competition, referred to as a “Roadeo”, consists of four examinations testing various aspects of the professional truck driver’s job. The tests include:

· a written test covering the trucking industry
· safe driving rules · first aid and fire fighting
· an interview assessing the driver’s character and attitude
· physical inspection of the truck before driving, to identify defects planted by the judges, and
· driving through six pre-arranged problems on the skills course.

The competition is held among eight classes of trucks, ranging from straight trucks to tractor-trailer combinations with a variety of axle configurations and trailing equipment.

The truck driving championship was held at the Yellow Freight facility in Burnsville, MN. One hundred and eleven contestants participated, representing a number of Minnesota trucking companies. “We are extremely proud of these driver’s for taking the time and initiative to study and practice for this competition,” said Scott Anderson, ATS director of safety.

The other members of the team were Alex Aguerro, Mike McKee and Chris McGee. The outstanding effort and time that these drivers put in is greatly appreciated and they all deserve a pat on the back for their efforts. Congratulations!

ATS would like to say a special thank you to retired driver, Bill “Duck” Wang who coached this year’s team and without him we would not have been able to perform so well at this level. The Minnesota Truck Driving Championship is an annual competition hosted by the Minnesota Trucking Association.
