We thank you all for getting vaccinated. Unfortunately,
Harris County only has a 45.1% vaccination rate, and due
this low vaccination rate, Delta is spreading fast.
It is out of an abundance of caution that we are now
requiring all employees to wear masks in the office.
In addition to the masks, we will continue our temp
checks, stop attendance at luncheons/conferences/organized
events with large crowds, as well as, no longer allow outside
persons in the building.
If you or a member of your household are feeling
unwell, please notify your manager that you need to work
from home or take PTO. CDC guidelines now recommend
that fully vaccinated persons who are exposed to Covid, get
tested within 3-5 days of exposure. If you are exposed to
Covid, please work remotely until you can provide proof of
a negative test.
As Covid is ever-evolving, we will continue to reassess
our strategy and protective measures as more information
is learned, and in accordance with guidelines from the CDC
and public health experts.

Please feel free to reach out to Haley if you
have any questions or concerns.

Welcome our new
office Employees!

David Hood to the
Dispatch Team

I have been dispatching for 16 years.
I love spending time with my family at home
watching movies or having a bbq. I have 4
kids and 3 grandchildren . I also like going to
the casinos .

Raymond Muro to overlook
Warehouse Customer Service

“I have been in the warehousing and distribution
field for about 20 years give or take. I’ve done
everything from unloading containers by hand, to
warehousing, and corporate duties. I really enjoy
the industry. Hobbies include spending time with
my son, going to the gym, and pretty much just
relaxing at home when I get the chance.”

Megan Saxton to
Customer Service

“I have been in the trucking industry for
3.5 years. I am the shortest person in my family
(my 4 year old is half my height already!) I love
working on and designing vehicles/ atvs. I have
been on my own since the age of 19. I have a soft
spot for all animals, I am not allowed at a rescue
center because I always bring a random animal
home (especially pitbulls).”

Dust Control at Wallisville

Sunday we sprayed the east side of the Wallisville
yard with a dust control chemical called SS1 emulsifed
asphalt. This environmental friendly product will help
keep the dust down for 60-90 days. With more areas to
cover as we begin to open up the Wallisville office.

Excargo is constantly adding work daily. We appreciate

everyone to enjoy time with your loved ones.

Please let your team know 48 hours in advance, or as

“Hello everyone, I will be on vacation next month from
August 26 through August 30th. I know it’s early so I will send

out a reminder 2 weeks before and a week before”
