    #80 - New Leadership Positions, Storm Coverage and Winter Driving

    This week on the H&M Trucking podcast, we’re addressing some changes in our leadership structure.  We’ll welcome President of H&M Trucking James Fonda, Chief Operations Officer Ryan Holm, Chief People Officer Eve Essary, and introduce you to our new Chief Financial Officer, Jami Bahle.  After that, we’ll talk to H&M Driver Thad McBride, who hails from Augusta, Georgia.  Thad and his fill in dispatcher Lindsay Goodin will walk us through how Hurricane Helene has hampered their work days.  Finally, Denny will bring us a list of items he used to keep on the truck during the winter months.  Find the list below!   Winter Prep List   Windshield Scraper Shovel Basic Tool Kit Snow Chains and learn to throw them! Jumper Cables Kitty Litter or salt MINIMUM - Half-full of fuel Anti gel and Antifreeze Heavy Duty Winter Clothes including heavy coat, waterproof boots, warm gloves and hat Battery powered radio Flashlights/Extra Batteries Extra Food and Water - Don’t forget your furry co-pilot if you have one! First Aid Kit Cell Phone Charger or Extra Battery CB Radio   Things to consider   Park where you can stay warm – in the event your truck has issues. Check the wind forecast – try to park with your ass to the wind. If the lot is iced over, after parking for your 10 hr. break, wait a few minutes to let the tires cool. Then, move your rig a few inches.   Ensure H&M’s heater units are fueled (add anti gel) And, run a while to make sure they are operating properly. Preplan the entire trip adjusting each days driving times and routing. Weather forecast – be ready to adjust YOUR schedule Plan alternate routes – you may need them. Pre-plan where you will stop - and at least one backup just in case   Find a way to let those close to you know your plans. And, where you stop for your break. i.e. TX.I-35x193@TA - translates to Texas, Interstate 35, exit 193 at the TA Truckstop If the roads are “Slushy”, clear all your lights, blinkers, etc. EVERY TIME you stop.
