Ninety years of bulk freight experience walked into the room, and we made sure to record every word of it. In Episode 2 of Always Pneumatic, Never Static, we slow things down and give some long-overdue flowers to three of Bulk Transit's most seasoned veterans: Ron Thompson (23 years), Mike Upchurch (29 years), and Ronnie Poe (30 years). These aren't just drivers, they're living proof that when a company treats its people right, loyalty isn't something you have to chase. We get into the early days of Bulk, what kept each of them from ever seriously looking elsewhere, how they feel about life behind the wheel of a pneumatic trailer, and what they'd say to a driver thinking about making a move today. Employee satisfaction isn't a buzzword here; it's a track record you can measure in decades. Pull up a chair and listen to the men who built the culture from the inside.
