<h2>Meadow Lark Sales News</h2>
<p>The last couple of months have been an exciting time in the <span style="color:#009900; font-weight:bold;">Meadow Lark
Sales Department</span>. Susan was named as a Full-time Assistant Manager; congrats! Also we welcomed both Chase and Michael
to the team. Both came out on fire making revenue from booking loads and making transfers. Marcos ventured up to the Van
department to help lead the way with our new division, and Ben is now the new Heavy Haul Sales guru. Lisa is still making
headway as the Central Rep with a trip planned this month to Iowa. Travis made his first sales trip out to Ohio and we are
looking forward to even more success. We are excited to bring on some new members to our team starting this week. Dawne will
be coming in to join us as our new Canadian Sales Rep and Donald will be helping to cover our loads as the Sales Dispatcher.
We had a great month in May, having successful trips and highly profitable transfers. With the summer months rolling in we
are looking to break some records for profits!

<p>The van business is starting to grow we started out with just 2 of us and have grown into a team of 6.
Sales is chasing business all over the united states. We are working on getting setup with some big accounts, Pier
one, Tempurpedic matress, and the tire business.
Until we get these up and running we are staying busy with other freight all over the Midwest and west! We are
getting busy with Beverages, cups, frozen foods, and even airplane seats!
It's amazing all the things that move out in the van world!</p>

<h2>Meadow Lark Energy News</h2>
<img style="float:left; padding:5px;" src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.meadowlarkco.com/images/mikebiophoto.png"[/URL] alt="Mike's photo" />
<p>The <span style="color:#009900; font-weight:bold;">Meadow Lark Energy Division</span> is excited to announce the
addition of Lynnette Baisch to our sales staff. Lynnette will be working with all of the Oil clients in Texas to start. Wish
her luck with all the heat in Texas.
We have learned all kinds of new terms like, Bed Truck, Swamper, float, Gin Truck, Monkey Board and Slick Trucks. A year ago
I had never heard of any of these.
Our rig moving crews in North Dakota have moved almost 50 rigs since we started and are looking to more than double that
this year. Texas will make this goal achievable.
It has been interesting learning all the politics of the Oil business, clearly much different than general freight. The
players are continually changing and switching companies. This makes it very difficult to track but keeps things exciting.
Soon will be launching our trucking division and leasing on bed trucks and winch trucks. These will be very specialized and
domiciled close to the rigs in North Dakota and Texas.
Please give any of us a call if you need help with an oilfield client, we have plenty of free advice</p>
