We’re incredibly proud to announce that our Oklahoma City Customer Service Center (CSC) has achieved a remarkable safety milestone: one million consecutive miles driven without a preventable accident.

This achievement is the result of daily diligence, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to safety from every driver and support staff member. Under the leadership of OKC Supervisor, Greg Needham, and Regional Manager, Kendall Hayley, the OKC team has built a strong culture where safety isn’t just a priority — it’s a way of life.

To recognize this incredible accomplishment, the team and company leadership came together on Saturday, September 20th for a special celebration dinner to honor the people who made this happen.

Please join us in congratulating the entire Oklahoma City team on setting a new standard for excellence and safety in our industry. We’re proud of what you’ve achieved — and even prouder to have you on our team.

Funeral readings do more than fill silence. They give voice to grief, honor the life lived, and offer comfort when words fail us. Whether spiritual or secular, the right words can bring light to the darkest moments and personalize the farewell in a deeply meaningful way.
