JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – CSX CEO Joe Hinrichs made three employees’ days yesterday when he handed them the keys to new Ford pickup trucks.
All unionized employees with perfect attendance over a six-month span are entered into the ONE CSX Drive to Succeed raffle. The prize: One of three F-150 Lariat Supercrew trucks.
Hinrichs started his day in Clinton, S.C., where he delivered a F-150 Lariat Supercrew truck to track inspector Joe Johnson. “Joe and his wife, Ashley, and their two young boys were so excited to win this new truck…” Hinrichs wrote on LinkedIn. “Just another example of how we are improving the employee experience and culture at CSX through our ONE CSX initiatives.”
The CEO’s second stop was in deep in coal country at Corbin, Ky., where roadway mechanic Dustin Gray received his Ford. “Dustin and his family were so excited to win this truck,” Hinrichs wrote. “In fact, Dustin said that the light grey color was exactly what he would have purchased if he were selecting the truck himself.”
Hinrichs final stop was in Birmingham, Ala., where signal construction foreman Clint Smith was the lucky recipient. “It was great to see all Clint’s colleagues come out and support the event as well. Knowing that I retired as President of Ford’s global auto business a few years ago, Clint asked me to sign the glove box as a memento of the occasion,” Hinrichs wrote. “Another great example of the work we are doing as part of our ONE CSX culture to improve the employee experience so we can safely serve our customers better and create a better place to work.”
