ldquoSafety is the absence of riskrdquo Frank Ciccarella
Dear SCR Team
The holiday season gives us time to reflect on our lives and to be thankful for the many blessings that have come to us It is also a time when we tend to become more aware of those less fortunate in our own society and in the rest of the world Those of us who can afford to give what we can to help those in need
The holidays also provide us with an opportunity to gather together with family and friends to celebrate and express our gratitude for their presence in our lives At work we socialize with our co-workers more than usual and we work together as a team to provide excellent service to our passengers
Stan and I truly enjoy watching each year how this season
seems to bring out the very best in all of us as human
beings regardless of our personal or spiritual beliefs For this reason we find it a wonderful time of year
In closing we would like to take this
opportunity on behalf of the Executive Team to
wish you and your loved ones the very best of health and happiness for this holiday season and throughout the coming New Year
Best Wishes of the Season
Pamela and Stanley Rakestraw CEO amp COO

Quick True false
The first step in safe operation of your vehicle is a proper pre-trip
Of course the Professional Motor Vehicle Operators here at SCR know this is false
While a proper pre-trip before taking your vehicle out on your shift is vital to being safe while we work the first step in safe operation of that vehicle is for us to get proper rest
Our responsibility to being safe at work starts at home To quote Frank Ciccarella the Vice President of Safety for SCR ldquoSafety is the absence of riskrdquo
When we secure proper rest during our off-time we greatly reduce risk therefore increasing our chance of being safe So as we enter the holidays I would like to urge each of you to please be safe at home Get your rest before coming to work Be careful with all the additional electrical items being used to light up the season Make sure if you use a live tree you keep it watered Wear gloves if you are using spin glass
ldquoAngel Hairrdquo Turn off all lights on your trees and decorations when leaving the house or going to
bed Be careful on ladders Be careful with the food you eat And please remember
to protect your license and your job Donrsquot drink and drive Yoursquore a pro Whether at work or not I expect you to be the safest on the road Also protect your identity take care when you shop
online I find using a pre-paid card when purchasing online products gives me
great peace of mind
I pray each and every one of you and your families have a peaceful and yet joyous holiday Letrsquos end the year safe and start the New Year strong

S c o o p Many of you voiced your concerns with the current placement of the MDTrsquos and we took your concerns very seriously and stepped into immediate action
We understand as the operators of our fleet your opinions and suggestions need to be heard We need to create regular proactive and open dialog with you so that we can hear your concerns and suggestions on changes and upgrades that we look to implement
Thus we have began the process by adjusting the placement of the MDTrsquos to a non-obstructive less distracting location in the vehicles As we work to improve vehicle design specification and technology I would appreciate your continual feedback on the newly proposed MDT bracket and placement
Please let me know what you think of the newly enhanced bracket design

Dispatcher Operator Relations
B R I D G I N G
As the pace dispatch manager and a former operator at SCR one of my biggest concerns has always been how to bridge the gap between dispatchers and operators working relationships One of things Irsquom doing to bridge that gap is hiring more dispatchers to decrease the driver to dispatcher ratio from 421 down to a more manageable ratio By decreasing this ratio this will improve relations by making radio modes more manageable which means more personal attention with less operators per mode As we make these improvements we ask that you
T H E G A Pcontinue to be patient and professional during this process And remember ROME was not built in a day but when they finished it what a beautiful site
Regards Omar Helm
As changing weather patterns are fast approaching it is time to review the rules about following distance Remember that our company policy is to have a minimum of 4 seconds time between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you Four seconds is counted when the vehicle in front of you passes a fixed object such as a pole you start counting 1001 1002 1003 and 1004 If you reach the same pole prior to 1004 you must slow down as you are following to close and going too fast When inclement weather is upon us you should add two seconds to the count so
it would be 1001 1002 1003 1004 1005 1006 Remember that rear end collisions are preventable by slowing down and adjusting your following distance
Please practice good following distance procedures to stay safe and avoid rear end
collisions

Dispatcher Operator Relations
B R I D G I N G
As the pace dispatch manager and a former operator at SCR one of my biggest concerns has always been how to bridge the gap between dispatchers and operators working relationships One of things Irsquom doing to bridge that gap is hiring more dispatchers to decrease the driver to dispatcher ratio from 421 down to a more manageable ratio By decreasing this ratio this will improve relations by making radio modes more manageable which means more personal attention with less operators per mode As we make these improvements we ask that you
T H E G A Pcontinue to be patient and professional during this process And remember ROME was not built in a day but when they finished it what a beautiful site

As changing weather patterns are fast approaching it is time to review the rules about following distance Remember that our company policy is to have a minimum of 4 seconds time between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you Four seconds is counted when the vehicle in front of you passes a fixed object such as a pole you start counting 1001 1002 1003 and 1004 If you reach the same pole prior to 1004 you must slow down as you are following to close and going too fast When inclement weather is upon us you should add two seconds to the count so
it would be 1001 1002 1003 1004 1005 1006 Remember that rear end collisions are preventable by slowing down and adjusting your following distance
Please practice good following distance procedures to stay safe and avoid rear end
