On Saturday, March 28, 2009, the employees of the Midland, MI terminal gathered at an area restaurant for breakfast and to celebrate their winning the 2008 Terminal Safety Contest Award.

This award is presented annually to the terminal that has the lowest accident frequency, and Midland earned it with a frequency of 0.18 per 100,000 miles.  An accident in this contest is any preventable motor vehicle accident, personal injury, equipment damage, spill or contamination.  It is not just a drivers contest, but also includes mechanics, tank cleaners, and all office personnel.

Also in attendance were Robert Schurer, President of TSC, George Peirce, V/P Sales/Marketing, Pete Nativo, V/P Maintenance and guests from TSC customers Dow Chemical Company and Dow Corning Corporation.

During the breakfast there were door prize drawings.  TSC baseball jackets and TSC tape measures were distributed.  Robert Schurer, President, presented the $500.00 bonus checks to all employees at the Midland terminal.  The bonus checks are given to the winning terminal if they also have an accident frequency of less than 0.40 per 100,000 miles.

Following the ceremonies, a group picture was taken and will be displayed in the TSC 2010 calendar, on the TSC TV network, in the TSC corporate office, as well as at the Midland terminal.

On behalf of the Midland terminal, the members of the 2,000,000 and 1,000,000 Mile Club accepted the 2008 Terminal Safety Award plaque from Robert Schurer, President of Transport Service Co. on Saturday, March 28, 2009.
