Back to Back to Back

Our team has spoken and they made it clear to all: Watco is a great place to work. For the third time in just over a calendar year, the Watco team has made us a Newsweek Top 100 Most Loved Workplace®. We recently made America’s Top 100 Most Loved list, after earning a spot in 2022, and the global rankings earlier this year.

It wouldn’t be possible without our team. Best Practice Institute surveyed hundreds of Watco team members in early 2023. The anonymous results were analyzed and passed on to Newsweek, which then calculated the most recent rankings.

The questions asked about workplace involvement, leadership, opportunities, and more. Members of Watco’s leadership team also reviewed the results to determine our strengths and identify areas for improvement. More information about that will be shared in the coming weeks.

“Watco team members made this happen,” said Watco Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer Rachael Peterson. “They’re being recognized for the culture they’ve helped create. They deserve all the credit for this recognition.”

Cleaning Up and Starting Over After a Tornado

Watco team members take care of each other. And while Operations Supervisor Blake Allen has always taken this to heart, he’s never been on the receiving end. That is until this spring, when an EF4 tornado touched down and caused massive damage to parts of Amory, Mississippi, including his home.

“I’ve never experienced anything quite like it,” Allen said. “The only part of the house that wasn’t damaged was the master closet where my wife, kids, and I took shelter.”

When clean-up efforts started, many team members split their time making repairs at the Port of Amory and Allen’s house. The damage to the port was minor, resulting in a temporary power loss and damaged siding. At Allen’s house, they helped tarp his roof, remove three downed trees, and contributed to other relief efforts.

The team included an out-of-town visitor, SVP of Operations Jason Ford. Terminal Manager Wayne Childers said: “Jason made the three-hour trip to check on the team at the port. Then he went to Blake’s house. He toured the damage with Blake and helped clear brush.”

The damage to Allen’s home made it unlivable. The family stayed with relatives immediately following the tornado. Once teammate Nathan Kuykendall discovered that his church’s parsonage was vacant, he connected Allen to the church he attends. The Allens received permission to move in and have been there since.

Help continued to trickle in after three Watco terminals in the neighboring state of Alabama heard what happened. They joined together to raise money for the family, which was later used by Allen to buy cleaning supplies, meals, and new kids’ clothes to replace what was ruined by the tornado. Allen said: “When we needed it the most, Watco was

For the last seven months, Allen has spent nights and weekends reconstructing his home. He’s done the majority of the work himself, including framing and electrical. Later this fall, the family plans to return home.

“It’s certainly taken a lot of blood, sweat, and tears,” Allen said. “It’s practically a brand new house.”

there to help. I now know that there can be good that comes from even the toughest of situations.”

Saluting Watco’s Dale Murray for Military Promotion

Fewer than 1% of U.S. Army officers are selected to be a general. Watco’s Dale Murray has attained this rare achievement, and at a July ceremony in Montgomery, Alabama, he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general.

Murray works out of Alabama as a director of asset management. His role is to help develop processes to ensure the company is making smart long-term decisions about its most critical assets.

His area of focus is with Watco terminals and ports, an area that’s long been familiar to him. He joined Watco in 2016, working with terminals on the Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee rivers as an operations assistant vice president. Prior to that, he spent 10 years in a similar operations role with Kinder Morgan.

Murray’s military career began when he commissioned into the Active Army through Auburn University’s Reserve Officer Training Corps program. He commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant out of Auburn, went into the active Army for 9½ years, and then entered the National Guard in 2006. That’s also when he started in the river transportation industry, with Kinder Morgan. Along the way, he earned a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Memphis and graduated from the U.S. Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama.

In addition to his promotion to brigadier general, Murray has assumed a new National Guard role. He will serve as assistant division commander for support for the 29th Infantry Division. In this role, he will lead efforts “to organize units, people, and processes to ensure that the division has the protection, supplies, and posture to execute largescale combat operations.” There are close to 25,000 soldiers in the division.

Murray has found that his military and Watco roles complement each other. “One of the things I think I learned at Watco that’s applicable to the Army is how to work with the team that you have and find ways to succeed. You have to work really hard t o build consensus across people who don’t necessarily work for you. That skill from Kinder Morgan and Watco has really helped me in the military. Skills from the military that help me in my Watco career: organization, being able to focus groups on important goals, and synthesizing a lot of information to get to the most important, critical parts.”

Murray expresses his gratitude for the support received from Watco. “Forty percent of the combat forces in the United States Army are in the Army National Guard. The guard can’t defend the nation unless companies around the country enable and support their soldiers to do that service. I’m incredibly grateful to Watco for their support of my military career and for the flexibility they give me to serve our nation.”

Watco Electric Switchers Are Receiving High Marks

After more than a year in production, Watco’s newly commissioned battery-powered switching locomotives are receiving high marks as they outperform original assumptions around functionality and sustainability.

The first test run for two switching units –converted from diesel-electric power to allelectric – occurred July 20 at Greens Port, Watco’s multimodal terminal and port facility in Houston, Texas. After adjustments in subsequent weeks, they were commissioned into full service in September.

“The results have absolutely exceeded all our expectations,” said Neil Heerdink, director of operations at Watco. Those expectations are highlighted in this video and flyer and have included reductions in carbon dioxide emissions,

fuel and maintenance expenses, and the amount of lube oil and coolant used.

Some team members directly experiencing the benefits are those operating the switchers.

“I appreciate that we can spend less and pollute less by not running a diesel locomotive,” said Troy Vacala, a process assurance manager and one of a handful of people who have piloted the switchers. He also noted the quieter cab. “I enjoy not having to wear earplugs while operating these. Diesel switchers, they’re extremely loud.”

Vacala and other engineers – including one whose locomotive experience spans his five-decade career – seem to have adapted quickly to the battery-powered switchers. Tex Inman, director of locomotive support, has worked on locomotives since 1972 and has been with Watco since 1990.

8 The Dispatch | October 2023

He worked on the build team for months and also has been behind the controls. “I’m real impressed,” he said. “The way it performs is smoother than a diesel-electric. As far as operations, these things are the ticket.”

One reason for the smooth operation was an effort to place the battery controls in a similar place as those of the diesel-electric.

“All breakers and switches required to power up are in the same location,” said Keith Testerman, vice president and chief mechanical officer. “Engineers don’t have to turn on a generator field breaker now. We replaced that with a traction power breaker, but it’s in the same position as the generator field. That’s the kind of stuff, along with what we are seeing in performance of the unit, that’s been rewarding to me – to design it with minimal tutoring for the operator and then see it work beyond expectations. The engineers for the most part have been able to power it up and go.”

To convert these two switchers, Watco teamed up with Medha, a designer and manufacturer of locomotive control systems and other rail-related electronics. Medha provided key components of the power and control systems, and Watco personnel reassembled the locomotives.

The two units are among the first diesel-electric locomotives converted to fully electric using a conversion kit instead of building them from the ground up. “We’re excited about the kit nature of the conversions,” said Aaron Jensen, senior vice president of Materials Services. “We love the fact that a good chunk of the old diesel unit is repurposed. It makes this approach the most economical for industrial and short line operators.”

Watco plans to have customers see the switchers in person during private appointments hosted within the next few months at Greens Port.

Watco Opens New Warehouse, Logistics Operating Center in Arkansas

On September 28, the Watco team hosted an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening of its new warehouse and logistics operating center in Springdale, Arkansas, at the I-49 Logistics Park.

Local government officials, customers, and suppliers joined members of the Watco team at the open house. At the event, Watco CEO Dan Smith said: “The new logistics center is not just a building, but an investment in Northwest Arkansas. It represents Watco’s commitment to customers and our priority to meet their growing needs in the future.”

Watco Logistics President Eric Wolfe said, “Northwest Arkansas is a logistics hub in the U.S. with service needs spanning the logistics and supply chain spectrum. This facility was designed to meet the multi-dimensional needs of our current and future customers in this market.

“This location offers our customers a one-stop-shop solution for warehousing, transportation, special roll-out projects, e-commerce distribution, and reverse logistics.”

The new building features a total of 185,000 square feet of space, split between a 20,000-square-foot office space and 165,000-square-foot warehouse with 18 dock doors and three ramps. In addition, the warehouse features racking and floor space providing the ability to hold up to 18,000 pallets

of freight. Senior Director of Retail Services Andy Moran anticipates the warehouse will store 11,000 pallets by the end of 2023.

Sixty-five team members are based in Springdale. Wolfe said, “Our new logistics operating center puts the entire Northwest Arkansas-based team under one roof. It’s the perfect space to bring all operations together to seamlessly serve our customers.”

A big-box retailer is just one example of a customer that the Watco team in Springdale serves. They receive, handle, inventory, kit, and consolidate equipment such as sound systems and display monitors.

Once product is ready to be delivered to retail stores, Watco coordinates delivery and installation of materials. Moran said: “We are this customer’s firstparty logistics provider. Watco handles it all, from PO (Purchase Order) to POD (Proof of Delivery). Rather than getting multiple invoices from different parties for all aspects of their product distribution, this customer gets one invoice from us.”

Another enhancement coming soon to the warehouse is a technology lab. Slated to open in 2024, this secured space offers its own technology infrastructure to prepare new devices and update existing hardware in bulk. Wolfe believes this new addition will “make us more than a service partner, but an extension of the customer.”

Why Does Breast Cancer Get Its Own Month?

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but why has the topic of breast cancer been given its own 31 days since 1985?

For one thing, it’s the most prevalent cancer in the world. It’s the most common type in the United States, with 300,590 new cases expected in 2023, according to the National Cancer Institute.

While breast cancer has the highest occurrence among cancers, it’s considered among the most treatable. And with Watco’s help, team members can take aim at some of the top risk factors for breast cancer: being inactive, overweight, or a smoker.

• Participants in Watco’s health plan can pair up with a certified health coach using My Health NovelSM offered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield. To get started, log into My Health Toolkit® and complete a short assessment.

• Team members on Watco’s health plan can use Blue 365 to take advantage of fitness-related discounts (such as gym memberships, fitness trackers, and home gym equipment) provided through Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

• Watco team members have access to more than 200 dietitian-reviewed recipes and health videos through the company’s Team Member Assistance Program provider, New Directions. Use the company code Watco.

• Team members enrolled in a Watco health plan who want to stop smoking can find support by visiting Quit for Life® or calling (866) 794-8454.

One final tip about reducing the chances of breast cancer: Avoid alcohol, or at least limit drinking to no more than one alcoholic drink a day. That’s 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1½ ounces of hard liquor.
