To Our Fleet of Professional Drivers,

Professional truck drivers are the backbone of the American economy. Visit any grocery store, and that becomes immediately obvious. Every part of our lives is impacted, and made possible, by the work of dedicated people like you. Long hours spent on the road, tight schedules, traffic issues, and all kinds of weather are just some of the challenges you face each day. Our team of professional Drivers not only gets the job done but lead by example and exceeds expectations.

Thank you for all your continuing dedication, efforts, commitment to safe operations and maintaining one of the safest fleets in the industry. I can honestly say that I work with the best drivers in the business, and I appreciate all that you do each and every day.

As we celebrate 2024 Driver Appreciation Week, we take time to acknowledge the efforts of our team and the contributions that they make to G&C Foods and our customers.

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your outstanding work and dedication. Your commitment to safety, professionalism, and service to our customers, have not gone unnoticed. Each of you has consistently gone above and beyond, ensuring that every delivery is smooth and timely. Thank you for always prioritizing safety and for being such a reliable part of our team.

Mike Milac | Transportation Manager

Valued G&C Drivers, 2023 clearly was full of challenges for G&C Foods. Your patience, support and flexibility with the implementation of NCR was instrumental in the successful launch of our new ERP. We also successfully implemented Trimble TMT and ELD. Both of which are critical parts of our delivery future at G&C.

The construction of our Alachua, Florida building continues to go as planned. The expansion of G&C Foods into the Southeast is a critical part of our long-term plan for growth. This will strengthen our stability while providing opportunities for our G&C associates and their families.

Lastly, I would like to thank all of you for choosing G&C as your employer. The demand imposed on our drivers has never been greater. You, the driver, make all the difference between success and failure! Thanks for going the extra mile!

Mike Villalba | Director of Transportation

You are the face of G&C to our customers, this week is a celebration of you and all the great things you do!

I’d like to say thank you to Sam.  Sam is a regular Driver for our account, Hartville Hometown, in Ohio.

Recently, we had a new-to-us Driver on the run, and he was having issues getting to the loading dock. The customer called me and said that “Sam never has an issue”.  With that said, Sam met the new Driver there and helped deliver the product.

Thank you, Sam, for not only being so great for our customers, but also thank you for helping another employee.
