This year we are celebrating our 40th Anniversary! There was something for everyone at our annual rodeo and picnic with our driver simulator, kids games, prizes, food and ice cream. We were particularly excited to present our top rodeo winner, Gary Jeffers with a $2,500 travel voucher donated by our friends at S&S Volvo. Nathan Wilson came in second place and Mike Brown came in third place. They both had first pick of all of our fabulous prizes.
We look forward to this event each year and enjoy watching our drivers compete in this friendly and rewarding competition. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this event and helping us celebrate 40 years in business!

Keeping the Customers You Serve
As we continued our tradition of the truck rodeo and picnic, the food, fun and competition were better than ever! We even had a visit from Gem of the Dayton Dragons.
Taking home first place in the rodeo this year with the top score on accuracy, was Nathan Wilson. There was a tie for second place between Allan Berry, Charles Howerton and Jason Winkle. Alex Mosebrook was awarded the third place spot. The top winners got first pick of all of the awesome prizes donated by our generous and loyal vendors.
There were also winners for those who competed in the driver simulator contest. Ryan Boyd was the top winner for the office. Of the drivers, Jim Foley took the lead.
Thanks to everyone for making this event fun and memorable!

DARKE COUNTY – As part of the second annual Honda’s Week of Service, office staff and drivers of Dick Lavy Trucking, Inc. worked to collect over 2,000 items to donate to a local food bank.
This was the first year the locally owned and operated trucking company took part in the national community service campaign.
Employees began collecting non-perishable food items in April…competing to see which driver and office staff member could contribute the most to this worthwhile cause. Bryan Dzoch won among the drivers, while Shelley Fireoved collected the most among the office staff.
Heading the food drive was Sherry Grise (Office Administrator), Nicole Whitesel (Payroll Administrator) and Shelley Fireoved (Driver Recruiter).
The items are scheduled to be delivered to the Fish Choice Food Bank in Greenville on Wednesday.
“We were very honored to be able to give back to our community during Honda’s week of service, and are excited about our contribution next year,” Grise told The Early Bird.

Our 2016 annual truck rodeo was a fun time had by all. Friday we kicked things off with health fair hosted Wayne Healthcare, followed by a friendly driver simulator competition with our office and shop staff. Andrew Wolfe took home first place for the shop and Sherry Grise took home first place for the office. Valvoline grilled out for us on Friday, and Farmer Brown rounded out the day with his food truck for all employees. The weather was hot and beautiful for the day of the rodeo. The driver course is always a reminder to us of what profession drivers we have at Dick Lavy Trucking. They are safe, and have a lot of fun showcasing their skills. This year 1st place went to Charles Howerton he chose a TV as his Grand Prize, 2nd place went to Daryl Mt. Castle who chose a large gas grill, and 3rd place was a tie and went to Mike Brown and Tracy Weathington, both chose TV’s as their prizes also. We would like to thank everyone who made the rodeo such a great success this year, and to all of our generous vendors for their donations.
