Well folks, it’s Monday … all day long! But hopefully you are still smiling with memories of a safe and happy Father’s Day. Do you know the story behind Father’s Day?

The idea originated with a woman from Spokane, Washington named Sonora Dodd, whose father had raised her and her five siblings alone after the death of her mother. In 1966, President Johnson designated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day, and in 1972, President Nixon signed the law that made it permanent.

We hope your Father’s Day weekend was a great one. Be safe!

You may have seen yesterday’s congratulations message to Joe Eddie Johnson, who just reached the impressive milestone of two million

accident-free miles. But did you know that he was our first owner operator here at Boyd Bros.?

That’s right. And we want to say congratulations again, but also thank you to Joe Eddie Johnson for being a great example of safety and such an important member of our team for all these years.

Thank you, Joe Eddie Johnson. You’re the best!

Congratulations to Joe Eddie Johnson, our newest two-million mile driver. It’s such an amazing accomplishment that it’s almost hard to imagine!

Let’s just pretend that you stacked one dollar bills on top of each other – one for each of Joe Eddie Johnson’s accident-free miles. How big do you think that stack would be now? About 716 feet high, or roughly the height of a 70-story building!

Still hard to imagine? OK, pretend that you spread those same dollar bills out next to each other. How much area would they cover? Four football fields!

No matter how you think about it, driving two million accident-free miles is something to be very proud of, and we’re proud to have Mr. Joe Eddie Johnson on our team.

We don’t just talk about Safety; it drives everything we do. Wherever you are today, be safe!

Healthy eating is super important when you spend your days sitting and driving. But sometimes it seems like more research just makes things more confusing!

For example, did you know that avocados have the most calories of any fruit? But on the other hand, avocados are also high in potassium, which can help regulate blood pressure and fight strokes and heart disease. Avocado has lots of mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fat, so it can be a good replacement for other less-healthy high-fat foods.

What’s your favorite healthy food? And what is that one unhealthy food that you never seem to be able to resist?

Watch out for rough weather this weekend. AccuWeather.com warns that just a couple of days after severe storms rocked portions of the northern Plains, another potent storm system sliding out of the Rockies into the northern Plains and Canadian Prairies will bring more strong storms to the region.

These storms will have the potential of producing damaging winds capable of causing damage to trees, power lines and homes. They may also produce large hail. It is not out of the realm of possibilities that the strongest storms could spawn a tornado.

On Sunday, the focus of these strong thunderstorms will shift into the Midwest, affecting Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and parts of eastern Nebraska and northeastern Kansas. Damaging winds and hail will once again be the primary threat on Sunday.

Please be safe wherever you are!
