Drivers, employees honored at Hines Safety Banquet
By Staff, 04/1/19 8:05 AMHOPE – Employees of JD and Billy Hines Trucking were honored at the company’s 27th Annual Safety Banquet Saturday night at the Hope Coliseum.
The Coliseum started filling up shortly after 5 p.m. as families gathered for the various awards and honors, along with the door prizes and the BBQ dinner, catered by Lotta Bull BBQ. The company has made this a family affair, making sure children of the drivers weren’t forgotten as they were invited to participate in a coloring contest. The winners were given crisp, new $20 bills for their efforts.

Recognition of Office Staff
Their “behind the scenes” hard work and dedication to making HTI the best trucking company in the country often goes unnoticed, and many times under-appreciated in the trucking industry. However, they are vital to our success. Without them, phones wouldn’t be answered, bills wouldn’t be paid, customers wouldn’t be acquired, paychecks wouldn’t be distributed, backgrounds wouldn’t be checked, insurance questions would be ignored, loads wouldn’t be planned, and on and on and on.
