Happy Friday and Happy Work Anniversary to Sabra! Sabra is a valuable part of our truckload operations team, showing dedication to what she does and putting in the hard work. And you aren't going to meet a nicer person. Congrats on another year Sabra!
Lots going on at One Source! As our final fundraiser of the week, Gabi won the "Freedom Basket" which was graciously accepted on her behalf by Brianne! Thanks to everyone who contributed in making this a big week for One Source Gives. We raised over $1,000! Whoop Whoop!!!!
As we head into the Memorial Day Weekend holiday, please take a moment to pay respect to those brave military personnel who have paid the ultimate price defending our nation. In observance of the holiday, the One Source office will be closed on Monday, May 25th.
We had a big time at the office for our Summer Kick Off Cookout! Chuck loaded us up with burgers and dogs and the ice cream truck was a great touch. We also held the "Pie in the Face" fundraiser and our leadership took their pies with laughter and grace.
Today is our "Summer Kick-Off Cookout" hosted by our owners, complete with the man himself (Chuck) presiding over the grill! Maybe we can get David or Boomer in here to mix up some cocktails? You can really tell from the photo below that Chuck isn't much into this sort of thing!
.....and our final Derby Fun Fact from Jacksen!
• Johnny Velasquez will be riding #18 Further Ado for the first time in the Derby. Jockeys who are riding their Derby horse for the first time are 3/90 since 2010. Johnny Velasquez accounts for two of those wins.
It's Thurby at One Source!!! Time for another Derby Week "fun fact" from Jacksen!

• Cherie Devaux is attempting to become the first female trainer to win a KY Derby with her horse #19 Golden Tempo
Another interesting Derby tidbit from Jacksen on a rainy "Winsday" morning......

• Renegade, the early Morning Line favorite, drew the dreaded #1 post. There hasn’t been a winner from post position #1 since Ferdinand in 1986. That's 39 years ago for you folks scoring at home!
How about a Derby Week piece of trivia from our resident horse racing enthusiast, Jacksen? --
"Post position #2 Albus is named after Professor Albus Dumbledore, shoutout to all the Harry Potter fans! Horse doesn’t have the speed for the Derby but never say never."
It's Derby Time in "The Ville" and at One Source Logistics!!!! Feel free to share your favorite traditions or memories about Churchill Downs, Triple Crown racing, The Oaks, and/or Derby!
Today we celebrate 12 years of Sarah, our Director of Operations, being on the job! Loyalty, dedication, intelligence, and trustworthiness are only a few of the attributes that make her standout. A true asset to One Source. Thanks for all you do and being who you are Sarah!
Today is not only April Fool’s Day, but appropriately enough, it’s also David’s birthday!!!!! LOL 😝
David, we hope you have a fantastic birthday and each of us owe a debt of gratitude for having the pleasure of knowing you.
