We've introduced a new feature showcasing products made at Jackson County companies.

Next: V903 engine made at Cummins Inc. Seymour Engine Plant

Here's information from the company: The next generation of the V903 engine is a testament to Cummins' commitment to delivering reliable, battle-proven power solutions for the defense industry. Built on a robust 903-cubic-inch V8 architecture, the V903 has a legacy of powering the Bradley Fighting Vehicle for more than four decades, consistently proving its durability and performance on the battlefield. The latest generation, now delivering 760 horsepower, continues this legacy, offering even greater power and enhanced capabilities for modern military applications. The Cummins electronically controlled CP-STC fuel system allows the V903 to operate in all conditions with zero loss in power. The engine is design protected for even higher uprates, options and is hybrid-ready. Each V903 rating is turbocharged and aftercooled to meet the specific performance requirements of each application. The acoustically tuned and thermally insulated exhaust manifolds and elbows provide even flow to the turbocharger while reducing surface temperatures, improving performance and safety. The push-button starting feature automatically actuates the intake air heaters and starter for reliable starts in cold climates.

Class Act Cougar Spotlight: Junior Elleigh Kiel!

This week, we’re proud to shine the spotlight on Elleigh Kiel, nominated by Mr. Fallis for living out Trinity’s core values in remarkable ways.

Mr. Fallis shared this powerful example of Elleigh’s character:

“Elleigh helps another member of TLHS, who is hearing impaired, during each Wednesday's Chapel service. She always checks to make sure the other person knows what page each reading and hymn is on after they have been announced. She seems to be the only student in the area who has noticed the person's need for help. She quietly and humbly checks on them every time. She is an outstanding student and member of the TLHS student body.”
Way to go, Elleigh! We are blessed to have you representing what it means to be a Class Act Cougar!

The funds will be used for the purchase of six computers for the organization's VITA tax service. The service provides free tax preparation for residents with a household income of $66,000 or less.

Walmart's Associate-to-Driver program was launched in 2022, Dallas, Texas, and Dover, Delaware, before expanding to other locations nationwide, including Seymour.

The Private Fleet Development Program gives associates in select parts of the country a path to earn their commercial driver's license and become Walmart truck drivers. In 2023, the program was expanded so associates working in stores, distribution centers, fulfillment centers and transportation offices within a 50-mile radius of a participating transportation office became eligible to apply.

After they complete the 12-week training course and earn their CDL, they have a Walmart driving job and can make up to $110,000 in their first year with the company in addition to the suite of benefits the company offers. Drivers who have been with Walmart longer can earn even more money based on factors like tenure and location.

The Seymour training center offers the program once a quarter. A person must have worked for Walmart for at least a year, be a good employee and be age 21 and up.

The American Trucking Association has awarded Walmart the Safest Fleet in the Over 250 Million Mile Division multiple times. Walmart Transportation in Seymour has three drivers with 3 million safe miles and two others close to 4 million safe miles. In all, the center has nearly 300 drivers.
