To all of our Agents, Contractors and Employees, remember, you make a difference. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. We are lucky to have you on our team. The goals of the Settlement Departments are to settle Agents, Carriers and Contractors as accurately and timely as possible. There have been some positive changes made recently to assist in this goal. Agent commissions on Carrier loads are now settled after the load has been invoiced, instead of waiting until the Carrier has invoiced us and their settlement processed. Detention, Layover and Truck ordered not used settlements are no longer held until the customer has paid the invoice.

With proper documentation, they are settled in the normal settlement time schedule for Contractors, Carriers and Agents. Contractors can now receive a new settlement statement in Excel or a PDF, or continue to receive the existing statement. If you wish to receive the new statement, just email the Settlement Department at Csettlements@uacl.com with your truck number and the email address and format you would like. If you would like both Excel and PDF, that is an option. Contractors, make sure you are turning in your fuel receipts and noted on your trip reports so you are given proper fuel credit on your weekly settlement. Please also fill out your odometers on your trip reports to avoid penalties. Our current discount is 40 cents a gallon when you use your Comdata fuel card at Loves, T/A, Petro, Flying J and Pilot. With the cost of fuel, that can make a difference. The discount does not show on your fuel receipt, but you will see the difference on the reduced fuel purchase deduction on your settlement. Agents, make sure you are delivering your loads in the system with the correct delivery date. The system automatically pulls in loads for the weekly settlement by the actual delivery date. If the wrong date is used it might stop the Contractor from being settled on that load timely. As we all work together as a team, the outcome should result in accurate and timely settlements.

Employee Highlight: Dylan Geisler Dylan started with the company in September of 2021 working as an Accounts Receivable Clerk. He was recently promoted to the Accounts Payable/ Jr. Accountant position. In Dylan’s new position, he will be in charge of processing invoices and various accounting duties. This is a good step for him as he is currently set to get his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Wayne State University by early spring of next year. Dylan really enjoys computers/electronics. One of his favorite hobbies is building computers and learning about new technology. He also likes camping. His family goes to Metamora State Park to camp every year. Another hobby Dylan enjoys is learning and teaching about personal finance. He believes it’s very important that everyone learns about keeping track of their finances and the importance and dangers of credit cards as a young adult. Dylan is also looking to move out of his parents house, so if anyone has any advice for renting or buying homes, he would love to hear your advice/experience at DGeisler@uacl.com

Meet the Agent VITO LOGISTICS, LLC 3021-AUGUSTO CIUFFARDI Over a decade ago, Vito Logistics LLC was just a thought in the head of Augusto Ciuffardi. A thought of doing something he had never done before. An endeavor that did not promise reward. Thirteen hundred dollars and this idea was all Augusto needed to commit his life to making sure this idea did not just stay an idea. Making it a reality was now his mission. Over ten years later, it is now even more than Augusto could have imagined. A trucking agency with more than 25 trucks. Playing its role, in the machine that is transportation. Vito Logistics is an agency that strives to make the unreachable, reachable. Because that is exactly what Augusto strived for when Vito Logistics was merely a thought in his mind. UACL is a new chapter in Vito Logistics’ book. Every journey has its ups and downs, but one thing is for certain, Vito Logistics is glad to say they are apart of the UACL family. There is no other family that Vito Logistics would want to be a part of. Though, they are committed to the work they do, on their off time they can always be spotted spending time together with family. You might even see them on the dock fishing their hearts away. boating on a nice day, or heading to the shooting range!

If it feels like you’re driving too fast, you are. If it is slick outside you want to be especially mindful of your speed. Control your speed on inclines and declines so that you get where you need to be safely. Be respectful to other drivers too, you are not out there alone.

Signal and brake early to give other drivers plenty of time to notice your intent. If you must pull off the road, use flashers, reflective triangles, and/or road flares to alert approaching drivers.

Don’t be afraid to get out of your truck and look at what you are doing. Always remember to utilize the G.O.A.L. (Get Out And Look) method when backing up!

recipe of the month

ingredients

dave hummel's pulled pork

9 LB pork butt jack daniel's barbecue pork rub meat smoker cherry or mesquite smoking wood coleslaw

1. Michigan style pulled pork begins 48 hours before cook time. Take the butt out of the wrapping and score the fat cap in a criss- cross fashion. Find your favorite pork rub, and coat thoroughly, mine happens to be made

by Jack Daniels. Put in an aluminum pan, cover with plastic wrap and set in the fridge for 48 hours.

2. When it’s time to cook, heat your smoker to 250 degrees and load the tray up with your favorite hardwood.

3. Put one more layer of pork rub on the butt and throw it in the smoker. I put an aluminum pan underneath the butt to catch all juices that came off during cooking, to use them later.

4. After 8 – 10 hours of slow cooking, the internal temp should be 200 degrees and the outside has a nice bark to it. Remove the pork from the smoker and let sit for an hour or so and put the captured juices in a measuring cup so they separate.

5. When the pork cools down a little, use your bare hands and pull it apart, removing the big chunks of fat, but leaving the small ones.

6. When the entire butt is pulled apart, the juices in the measuring cup should be separated, so take a turkey baster and suck up the gold fat at the top and put it right back onto the pulled pork, I’ll use 4 or 5 basters full. This will add moisture, flavor and fat back to the meat.

7. Serve with slaw and enjoy!
