As we enter the season of Thanksgiving, the entire team at ES would like to pause for a moment and reflect on the importance of counting our collective blessings. The past year has been both challenging and remarkable, and 2020 has been a year of counting. From votes in an election year to the volume of COVID-19 cases we have seen in 2020, numbers have been a main topic of our national conversation. Yet, in preparation for Thanksgiving in 2020, our team at ES would encourage everyone to look toward the light in a year that has been cloudy.

Over the past decade, Joe and Carol Shelton have become shining examples of what is possible through the ES Community. The timeline of Sheltons’ growth from industry newcomers with a dream to the reality of successfully operating a family-owned business with a 12-truck fleet stands as a testament to hard work and the support offered through the ES Community. Just take a look at what the Sheltons have been able to do over the past 10 years.

One of the greatest strengths that Amy Williams has utilized while becoming a successful business owner within the ES Community can be found in her powers of observation. Going back to her introduction to trucking, Amy has always displayed the ability to examine a given situation, ask the right questions and build a level of trust based on what’s she’s learned and experienced.

For Jacobus Nel, the journey to live the American Dream has been a long road. Jaco has used the wheels of the trucking industry to carry him a distance that spans from his native South Africa to business ownership in the U.S. The most recent miles of this incredible ride have power in large part by the program offerings at ES. In fact, Jaco’s experience with the team at ES and the company’s Path To Ownership (PTO) program opened doors to the type of opportunities and success that he could only imagine during his youth.
