Double the Love: Watco Receives Back-to-Back Honors

For the second consecutive year, Watco has been named a Most Loved Workplace® . The company has again been certified by Best Practice Institute (BPI), a provider of leadership development, executive coaching, and human resources-related research.

BPI conducted an anonymous survey among Watco team members in March, and more than 1,300 responded. Based on its evaluation of the poll results, BPI selected Watco as a 2023 Most Loved Workplace. “This is a reflection of our culture, and our team members at Watco are the ones who’ve set that tone and deserve all the credit,” said CEO Dan Smith. “I’m really proud of our team for earning this repeat honor.”

The Most Loved designation puts Watco in the running for two lists published in Newsweek magazine. The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces is a new list that the magazine will publish in June. And there’s also the list Watco landed on last year: America’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces. Newsweek will announce that list in October.

Watco Logistics Moves

60,000 Packages a Day for Customer

Watco moves just about anything from raw materials to finished products like office supplies. Yes, you read that right, office supplies. Watco Logistics moves anything from pens and copy paper to office furniture for Staples. Our partnership began back in 2017 when the Watco team in Rochester, New York, began providing final-mile delivery service via truck for this customer.

Nearly six years later, Watco now coordinates on average 60,000 deliveries a day to businesses and homes. As a result, our team has grown to include 75 full-time team members across 25 locations. Watco works with 800 independent drivers to make deliveries each day.

“This customer is like family to us,” said Director of Final Mile for Logistics Chad VanSickle. “We work really well with one another. It’s why our partnership has been so successful.”

So, what does final-mile service look like for this Watco customer? Our Logistics team fills the gap between the Staples fulfillment center and the end customer. Freight arrives at Watco hubs in the early morning hours, typically between 2 a.m.

and 3 a.m. Watco team members unload, sort, scan, and stage packages for delivery drivers. A few hours later, drivers arrive and scan, load, and deliver products to Staples’ customers.

At Daytona Beach, Florida, the Watco team processes on average 2,000 packages a day. Facility Manager Stanley Whitaker manages this hub. Prior to Watco, he worked for Staples for 15 years. Like other facility managers, he reviews and updates drivers’ routes in advance to ensure efficiency.

Perla Diaz oversees the Watco hub in Las Vegas, Nevada. On an average day, this hub moves a lot of copy paper. And we mean a lot. Diaz estimates her team moves an average of 12 pallets of copy paper each day. That’s 4,800 reams of paper.

She’s been at Watco for five years and has done just about every job at this location including fleet specialist, fleet specialist supervisor, and now facility manager. In addition to her responsibilities, she manages seven customer service representatives dedicated to Watco Logistics.

“It’s a team effort,” said Diaz. “Every person is important in taking care of the customer. Whether you are sorting, answering the phone, or driving.”

Watco Unveils New SIT Yard with Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

Port 10 Watco Rail Logistics, a joint venture of Watco, Pontikes Development, and McNair Interests, recently hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to reveal the new storage-in-transit (SIT) yard in Baytown, Texas. Watco will provide switching operations at

this SIT yard, which features 420 railcar spots. Watco SVP of Sales for Terminals and Port Services Marc Massoglia said, “The new yard adds convenience, flexibility, and operational efficiencies for our customers.”

Mental Health Is Top of Mind in May

If something is weighing on your mind, Watco has resources that might help.

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States. Your mental health can be affected by a little or a lot of stress, anxiety, or depression. It could be a case of the blues, an addiction, a trauma-caused state, or anything else that has a hold on your thoughts.

No matter the concern or its cause, Watco wants to help. A free resource available to all team members and their dependents is our Team Member Assistance Program (TMAP).

TMAP addresses all kinds of needs. TMAP deals with marriage, children, elder care, financial and legal

advice, emotions and/or personal growth, and more. Assistance is available at any time day or night, year-round.

This program, administered by New Directions, is completely confidential and requires no enrollment. To speak to a counselor or learn more about TMAP services call (800) 624-5544 or visit eap.ndbh.com (Company Code: Watco).

Why not download the app now? It’s available on the App Store and Google Play. Find the New Directions EAP app, and use Watco as the Company Code.

Another source of help is the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. This line accepts not only calls but also text messages.

Military Outreach Program Hits the 1-Year Mark

It’s been a year since Watco formalized its Military Outreach and Hire program, and much progress has been made in that time.

Most recently, Shannon Parker changed roles in late February to recruit veterans and coach military service members transitioning to civilian life. She has been with Watco for a combined 10 years and also brings nine prior years in the Kansas Army National Guard to her new position as a military-focused recruiter. “I’ve always known the value of the skills that a veteran brings to the civilian workforce,” she says, “and I’m excited to be able to help translate those skill sets that they have through their service into civilian life and Watco.”

Besides helping military members see avenues for using their service experience, Parker loves talking about a company she believes in. “Put those two things together,” she says, “and it’s such a good match for me and really makes me feel like I’m making a difference. I’m helping a new team member find a home and helping Watco gain a qualified person who’s a cultural fit for our company.”

Shannon’s supervisor, Ken Killingsworth, called her passion “hard to match. That was one of the things that stood out to me the first time I talked to Shannon,” he says. Killingsworth is a 31-year Army veteran who managed the program in its first year. He recently became director of Watco University, the company’s program of in-person and online training courses.

As Killingsworth transitions some responsibilities to Parker, he does so having steered accomplishments over the last 12 months that include:

• Launching online resources dedicated to veteran recruitment

• Supporting 28 different veteran hiring events in 2022, which led to hiring 121 veterans in the last 12 months.

• Establishing an Army-approved Career Skills Program (CSP) for company-wide roles. CSP internships provide soldiers, while on active duty, the opportunity to participate in skills training to improve their civilian employment options.

• Becoming a corporate partner of the Army’s Partnership for Your Success (PaYs) program. Pays guarantees soldiers an interview and potential employment after the Army.

These days, Parker and Killingsworth are continuing their recruitment efforts coast to coast and teaming up with Watco’s Marketing & Communications team on the company’s annual Independence Day T-shirt sale to benefit a military organization. This year’s recipient will be USA Cares. The nonprofit provides emergency financial assistance for veterans and their families as well as skills training aimed to improve their quality of life, reducing the factors that can contribute to veteran suicide.

High School Student Creates Design for Watco Independence Day Shirt

Inspired by her family’s military history, a Kansas high school junior designed the image appearing on this year’s Watco Independence Day shirt.

Olivia Peters, a junior at Mill Valley High School in Shawnee, Kansas, created a U.S. flag-eagle combination as part of a graphic design class. The Graphic Design Workplace course is geared toward juniors and seniors interested in design as a career field. The objectives of the course are for students to use their skills and tools and to apply them to real-world applications. Students meet and collaborate with school organizations and outside contacts in the community to gain an understanding of problem-solving for real projects, with real clients.

A real-world client this semester was Watco. Mill Valley made the Watco connection through Watco Creative Director Reagan Chalupnik, who served this year as a mentor to the school’s graphic design students. “I loved the opportunity to work with these students and at the same time support our veteran community,” she said.

Each year, Watco provides a patriotic shirt for purchase around Independence Day, and the proceeds benefit a military organization. Since 2019, Watco has donated more than $20,000 to nonprofits such as Honor Flight, Military Missions in Action, and the USO. This year’s sales will benefit USA Cares.

Peters said she was thrilled to have been able to do this project to support veterans and honor her family’s history of military service. Her maternal grandfather was a lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force, and her paternal grandfather was in the reserves. Her maternal great-grandfather fought in Europe during WWII and received a Purple Heart, and her paternal great-grandfather fought in the Pacific Theatre during WWII.

Mike Koon Retires After 42 Years

Mike Koon is a man of few words, so he doesn’t have a lot to say about his career. That doesn’t mean there’s not plenty to be said about it, though.

He retired May 1 from Watco’s Grand Rivers Repair and Maintenance Terminal in Kentucky, just shy of 42 years of service. Grand Rivers is near the confluence of the Cumberland, Tennessee, and Ohio rivers, and not far from where they all join the mighty Mississippi. It’s along these rivers that Koon built his life.

“I started right out of high school and always loved the barges,” Koon said. “I ran backhoes, graders, dozers, loaders, trucks; just about anything to do with the quarries or coal and loading barges.”

He held supervisor positions for 15 years and adapted as the location’s and customers’ needs changed. He loaded barges, operated heavy equipment, and transitioned to railcar repair as the facility changed again and he became terminal manager.

“I liked it because it was always steady work,” Koon said. “And that’s all I needed because I was trying to raise a family and enjoyed my work.”

That stability, and more importantly, his team, will be what Koon misses during retirement.

“I’ll miss these folks. I think the youngest person’s been here 27 years, which means I’ve been working with them for that long,” Koon said. “We’re like family.”

The new terminal manager, Missy Faughn, said Mike’s experience, dedication, and ability to adapt will be missed.

“Mike has been a mentor and friend to many team members over the years,” she said. “He’s maintained relationships with our customers, barge lines, the railroad, local emergency responders, and vendors. He is a walking example of Watco’s Foundation Principles. It’s truly the end of an era in Grand Rivers.”

He has no plans on slowing down, either. His retirement plans include ... going back to work.

“I’ll miss being busy and I still like running equipment,” Koon said. “I know a lot of the local farmers and I’ve already got jobs lined up running dozers and backhoes for them. Once you do it, it’s just with you. You don’t want to stop.”

Two Alabama Teams Recognized for Safety Records

Two Watco terminals were recently recognized by the state of Alabama for their impressive safety records.

Watco’s Guntersville Marine Terminal and Decatur River Port each received an Alabama Workplace Safety Award, along with a letter signed by Gov. Kay Ivey and the state’s Secretary of Labor Fitzgerald Washington congratulating them. Guntersville recently marked 14 years without a reportable injury, and Decatur reached 11 years.

“I’m proud, and it’s nice to be recognized,” said Guntersville Terminal Manager Scott King. “But the numbers aren’t what’s most important. It means that everyone went home safe at the end of every day. We’re building on a legacy. I’ve been here 26 years. Our last lost-time injury was before I started,” King said. “Our team is building on that foundation every day.”

Both terminals transload materials like pig iron, sand, steel, and coal between barge, truck, rail, and storage. Guntersville also does caustic liquids. Operator Jacob Roll has been at Guntersville for five years. Like other team members, Roll often works on both sides of the terminal. Each side presents its own challenges, especially for new team members.

“This safety record started long before me. We pass that on. It’s a culture of looking out for each other,” Roll said. “I think the biggest difference is how we use Stop Work Authority, especially with new hires. We let them know they can use it any time they’re uncertain about anything. We stop and assess the situation to make sure we do it right.”

Decatur takes a similar approach to safety.

“This all comes back to the team,” Decatur Terminal Manager Donnie Gunter said. “If we see something, we say something. There are a lot of hazards with what we do, and it takes all of us looking out for each other.”

New App Brings Efficiencies for Rail Teams

Watco is wrapping up the rollout of iPads with a mobile app that distributes critical railroad resources in electronic format, making them searchable and easily kept up to date.

Since January, Watco has distributed about 900 iPads loaded with Watco rulebooks, timetables for each Watco railroad, and the railroad industry’s General Code of Operating Rules. These documents are delivered to the iPads through the Comply365 Mobile App.

“We’re initially using it for rulebooks and timetables,” said SVP of Environmental Health and Safety Travis Herod, “starting with train and engine service team members, who have to have rulebooks with them on the train.” Conductors and engineers at almost all the company’s railroads have received the devices. So have new conductors and engineers training at the Watco Safe Performance Center in Birmingham, Alabama.

Comply365 is in use at several Class I railroads and throughout the commercial airline industry. Just as it has replaced some paper documents kept by the pilots in airplane cockpits, Comply365 is replacing the printed documents carried in locomotives. In some cases, trains will still carry hard copies of some documents, but Kris Hawley, a software solutions architect who has helped orchestrate the rollout, believes providing resources electronically can in many  cases educe the number of thick black binders, filled with printed rulebooks and timetables, that are carried in locomotive cabs. Not only will digital documents save printing and distribution time and expense, they’ll allow users to search for and quickly find information. And as documents are revised, they can be pushed promptly to the iPads.

Hawley noted that he has already heard from team members at railroads who have ideas for additional potential ways to use Comply365. “Our operations team members are creative,” he said. “They’re embracing this and saying, ‘This is great, and we want to take it even further.’” Hawley and Herod agree that Comply365 shows promise for possible additional uses, such as training.

Summer Spike Kicks Off May 29

Starting Memorial Day, Watco launches the 2023 Summer Spike safety program. This program runs through Labor Day, and is designed to create safety awareness in the summer months. Each location makes this program their own.

“If we don’t stay focused, incidents can happen. Our goal during Summer Spike is to recognize and pay attention to the increased risk that we have at this time of year and take positive steps to mitigate that risk.” said SVP of Environmental Health and Safety Travis Herod.
