What it Means

Happy customers are more likely to return to a company because they trust it and have had a positive experience. They can also help attract new customers by recommending the product or service to others.

Check out the before and after on this CCTV truck that Kevin Guilliam made happen! This was originally an IBAK put together by Yuri (3rd party) which proved to be not very beneficial, and Kevin ended up pulling out all of the components and turning it into a beautifully placed and wired CUES unit using the components from CTV1242 which had an older chassis…

To the unfamiliar eye, it doesn’t look like much, but to a CCTV operator, the placement of everything and tidiness of cords and whatnot can make such a big difference over the course of a day Kevin completed this retrofit while still keeping up with all the mainline and crossbore CCTV unit repairs – we ’ re up to 18 camera trucks; that’s no small feat!

Healthy eating habits

An important reminder for safety and focus - on and off the jobsite

USDA My Plate Healthy Eating Guide

What happened to the Food Guide Pyramid?

MyPlate replaced the Food Guide Pyramid, which was made before the internet. With the advancement of technology, MyPlate takes what we ’ ve learned from the Food Pyramid and now provides a personalized approach to healthy eating to help you meet your goals.

You can customize MyPlate to fit your dietary needs, preferences, cultural traditions, and budget so you can enjoy your favorite recipes and eat the healthy foods you love.

Eating a healthy diet can have many benefits, including:

Increased productivity and efficiency

Improved cognitive function

Reduced stress

Increased energy levels

Improved sleep

Stronger immune system

Reduced risk of chronic conditions

Only 33% of American adults eat the recommended amount of vegetables each day.

Only 12.2% of American adults are metabolically healthy, meaning they meet recommended targets for managing cardiovascular risk factors.
