After fifteen years of driving for Cypress Truck Lines, then three years in the safety department I am now entering my second year as Safety Director. Everyday brings exciting new challenges and the opportunity to be one of the “movers and shakers” of a growing company makes the many years of hard work climbing to the top well worth while. Being Safety Director for a company whose entire focus revolves around safety is certainly the ideal position to have. As the Penland family built this business from one truck driven by the owner, to a well established company of over four hundred fifty trucks they have never lost sight of their responsibility to their drivers, staff and the motoring public. Putting safety above all as their way of life makes life much easier for me. Top that off with being able to work with the dedicated team of professionals who surround me I must say that life has finally dealt me a winning hand.
