HQ Traffic Control

05/21/2026

Last Saturday we held our 5th annual Meet and Greet. As always, we had a great time getting together with such a special group of people. This year we introduced a sign setting race that was big hit. For the record Sam did beat Mike. I'm sensing a rematch next year. We also inducted our first group of employees into our 5 year hall of fame. That distinguished list includes : Mike T, Chris D, Wayne H, Darcy h, Peggy T, Lori L, Diane H, Steve Y, Teddy K, Awarded in absentia: Deb D, Theos N, Rikkilynn K, Heidi L, and Carmen C. When you see these fine folks on the road congratulate them on 5 years of setting the standard. Special Thanks to Marie, Jennie, Jackie and Wendy for going the extra mile to help make it a special day. Shelly and I appreciate the time we get to spend with you and only wish it were more often.

We received this fantastic letter today. We are always glad when we get confirmation of what we already know, we have the best team in this business. You guys really care about what you do and it clearly shows. Excellent Job Justtin, we are very proud of you. Nothing like getting promoted and proving why it was a good decision within the week.
On a side note, this made boss lady cry a bit.

Hi Shelly,

A resident on our W. N Street job sent in this very nice email about Justin. Wanted to share with you & hopefully you can pass along to him.

It’s so nice to get positive messages from customers. Hope this makes your day as well as his 😊

Subject: Employee commendation



I'm writing to commend a member of the work crew that has been replacing water pipes at the intersection of Prescott and W. "N" streets. I'm not sure if he's a SUB employee or a sub-contracted flagger, but he's represented you so well and gone so far above and beyond in his job that I hope you'll pass this on. His first name is Justin, he has a beard, he sets up barriers and signs, directs traffic, and has been working along W. "N" with the SUB crew for weeks.



I live on Prescott next to the intersection and from the desk where I work I have a view of the work. Justin has been unfailingly helpful, friendly and positive. Everyone in the neighborhood has commented on it, and I've seen it over and over with drivers, school buses and pedestrians. He pays close attention and gives excellent directions and updates on the work - what will happen and when.



Last Friday was Sanipac pickup day. My elderly neighbors who live right at the intersection had their can out, but the Sanipac truck could get nowhere near it due to the barriers. Justin saw this, ran to get their can and run it down to the truck, gave the Sanipac driver detailed instructions on how to navigate his route, then returned the can to my neighbors. Just this morning I had a woman come to pick up some free plants that I advertised and her first comment was that she could not have made it without the help of the super-nice flagger. We love him. He's aware, on top of things, and does a great job for community relations. I hope that this makes it into his employee record somehow.

Thank you,

Pam

We had a meeting with the best leadership team in the business today. We went to Oregon's Indoor High Caliber Kitchen in Lebanon. If you haven't been there, you should definitely go try it. The food is great and the staff are awesome. Congratulations to Jackie George and
Justtin Blair who joined our management team today. Both are well qualified and we believe they will be the kind of leaders who will put their teams first. When you see them out and about this season, please give them a pat on the back and as always, your support. We are looking forward to the season kicking off. There are a lot of great projects happening this year. Looks like it will be a fun one.

Happy new year everyone. Please be safe. Don't drink and drive. If you find yourself drunk and can't get home, I'm sure you can call any one of your fellow flaggers. You can call Me and Shelly. We will come and get you home safely. Full disclosure, I will make fun of you in the process though.

We had a great management meeting today. It's always really nice to get together with the leadership and discuss what has been and what we are doing next. Look for a big expansion in the not too distant future.
Thank you guys for the encouragement today.
