Riverside Transport keeps drivers as layoffs target only maintenance staff
Riverside Transport Inc. plans no driver layoffs after buying Cox Trucking, says EVP Mitch Page. A few maintenance workers were laid off as older tractors were replaced with 2006 models and new trailers cut the need for a large maintenance staff. The company aims to hire back laid-off workers as routes expand and fleet grows, while still seeking drivers.

HITTING THE GREEN FOR CHARITY IN WEST FRANKFORT
In sweltering July heat more than 200 golfers joined a charity golf scramble at Franklin County Country Club to raise funds for coats and clothing for children across 17 counties. Sponsored by the Egyptian Building Trades, the event, begun in the mid 1980s by Glenn Poshard, has grown from 60 golfers to well over 200 with strong sponsor and volunteer support. Franklin Williamson ROE Superintendent Ronda Baker highlighted the fundraiser’s impact on local students and noted ROE volunteers. Suzanne Willmore of ROE praised unions for driving turnout and the essential support that coats socks underwear shirts and pants provide to needy kids. See fundraiser.
