Dear Geri,
With spring finally upon us, we would like to thank our
customers and carriers for enduring this year's harsh
winter weather and express our appreciation for their
steadfast loyalty to EFS. Industry publications describe
the vast scope and severity of 2014's "harsh winter
conditions", which ultimately created "pent-up demand"
for capacity. The widespread weather conditions created
several months of turmoil and a lengthy period of high
demand for equipment. As the warmer weather emerges,
capacity constraints have gradually begun to loosen and
the transportation industry expresses belief in "underlying
economic strength". We appreciate your long-standing
dedication to EFS and look forward to weathering any
storms with you for many years to come.

Betty Wraspir recently joined the EFS team in February of
this year. She brings with her 22 years in the
transportation industry. Oddly enough, one of her favorite
parts of sales is cold calls/prospecting. She loves to meet
new people and learn about their business.
While away from work, Betty enjoys golfing,
antique/thrift shopping, walking her chocolate lab, and
spending time with her family. In the fall you will find
her sitting in a tree, waiting for the big one ... Betty is an
avid deer hunter with a few nice mounts on her wall to
prove it.
Betty and her husband, Dale, live in Silver Lake. They
have 3 children. Claire is 16 and a junior at Glencoe

Changes in Dispatch
We also have a new addition in our dispatch department.
Stephanie Rudie recently joined the EFS team just this
month. She brings with her 6 years in the transportation
industry.
While away from work, Stephanie enjoys traveling with
her husband on summer weekends to softball
tournaments, watching/attending sporting events and
spending time with family and friends. Once the weather
warms up, she also loves playing pool volleyball in her inlaw's regulation volleyball size pool.
Stephanie and her husband, Chris, live in Lakeville. They
recently had a beautiful baby girl named Mackenzie in
March of this year. They also have a four year old yellow
lab/golden retriever named Easton. To
