Wolverine

This is Mark's latest look. He's preparing to play Union General Burnsides
in the next civil war reenactment. Afterwards, he plans to shave the chin whiskers
and dress up as Wolverine for his family's annual Thanksgiving Masquerade Party.
I bet him $10 he couldn't grow the sideburns out long enough to tie together like a
chin strap by Christmas. I think I might lose that bet.

The Green Team

We like to hire Marines. We find that we don't have to "break" them
because that guy from "Full Metal Jacket" already did it for us.
In order for us to easily identify them in a crowd, Mark and Ollie
often wear matching, brightly-colored outfits.
Wednesday is "Green Day".

Equal Opportunity Employer

At USTS, we strive for an open-minded, friendly environment where
people can be themselves, regardless of their particular disability.

Safety is a Matter of Opinion

As managers, it is our number one duty to ensure that our employees
practice safe work practices at all times. The photo above is an example
of what we mean. Chad is safely holding this load in place while Ted
deftly handles the controls and keeps a sharp eye out.
If they didn't do this, the items could slip off the fork and damage the asphalt.
Hey, we're so safe, even the pavement has to be protected.

Psychic Steve

"Why are you pulling the trailer with your PERSONAL truck?" I asked.
"Why not?" Ted replied.
"Well what if your tailgate gets smashed by the trailer or something?" I asked.
"It's insured," he replied.
"Well is it covered if you're using it for work?" I asked.
"It's insured," he repeated.
An hour later, Ted called to inform me that, at the first stop light,
his load had come loose, rolled forward,
and crushed his tailgate.
Man, I hate being psychic.
