While the 2013 paving season is well-underway at our Los Angeles and Atlanta branch offices and other areas across the country, our Chicago-based teams and crews are gearing up for a busy season!  This means that our mechanics and crews are hard at work performing thorough checks of all trucks, trailers, and tankers to ensure our customers continue to receive the highest level of service possible.  Check out some recent photos of our team working hard!

Have you planned your networking agenda for 2014 yet?  We are excited for many expos next year; some of which we have been attending for decades and others that we are attending for the first time.

If you’re like us, you know the value of face-to-face interaction and industry events provide a great forum for this type of exchange.  Whether you’re in real estate, retail, or hospitality, to name but a few markets, there is a facility event for you.  From best practices and general sessions to after-hour socializing, a lot can be accomplished away from the office.  So, if you haven’t already, be sure to research which events are relevant to your field and start planning your itinerary now!

The Chicago Blackhawks became the dominant story in sports in the first three months of the NHL season as they rolled through 24 games without suffering a regulation defeat.

Chicago’s play was shocking, considering that Joel Quenneville’s team had been beaten in the first round of the playoffs in each of the last two seasons. The Blackhawks looked like a playoff team at the start of the season, but there was no reason to believe they would become record-setters.

Instead of feeling their way along, the Blackhawks began the season with something to prove. They proved it for 24 games before they finally tasted defeat for the first time when they dropped a 6-2 decision at Colorado Mar. 8.

Even though the streak is over, the Blackhawks should be very proud of what they have accomplished as a team.  Especially without a training camp, they came together as a unit and got it done.
