Some things I’ve learned.
We’ve brought some stability to the transportation industry in Camrose. Covid really hit the existing companies hard, and they had to reduce during that time. When things got going again , it was difficult for the existing companies to ramp up again.
I was working at Evraz during that time , we got layed off, so I came back to drive cab. I saw how so many people were left in the cold, and it wasn’t really anybody’s fault, it was just the effects of covid on cab companies.
Other things happened and I saw our town needed more vehicles and more drivers .
People can get a ride in a reasonable time frame now. We have a great team of local people that show up to work everyday. We’ve had some vehicle issues but mostly pretty manageable. Adding Ricki to disbatch during the day has really helped improve driver safety and customer service. And we’ve put a priority on getting people to work and offer a true 24/7 service to Camrose.
It all came so fast. I didn’t really expect the tremendous response we’ve had so far, and we’re not even a year old yet.
I’m not saying it’s finished or anything. I’m just really grateful how well everything has gone so far. A team I can trust and so much support from the city.
We’ll keep adding as we can, I’ve always been a guy that looks after what he has before stretching it all too thin.
We intended to be rooted in the fabric of our city. We will continue to keep our wait times as low as we can, provide reliable service 24/7 to meet the demand of our city, and help with more grocery giveaways as we can. We will also unveil a customer loyalty program around our one year anniversary, so stay tuned for April 23 .
Not everybody is a fan, not everybody appreciates how much this team has done in such a short period of time. We started with nothing, but now we have a foundation.
I’m not going to worry about the 1% going forward . The 1% is usually the loudest and most difficult to please, and likely never satisfied. The 1% doesn’t effect much, they just make noise and present unfounded comments and issues you can’t fix. The 1% are the same people that go to see what’s wrong with a restaurant instead of what’s right. More of a distraction than anything. There are other options available for the 1% that can never be pleased anyway.
I’m going to keep focusing on the 99%, who are mostly quieter and even silent, but trust our service.
And if I haven’t said it, I truly appreciate the 99% that quietly support and encourage our endeavours.
I’m very proud of how far we’ve come in providing reliable 24/7 service in the City of Camrose in just under a year. We’ve made an impact. We are not finished by any means, there is more we can do, but very grateful for the team we have and the service we provide . I am also very grateful for the 99% that have trusted us through the growing pains in the past year, call everyday, and trust our service.
Just some advice for future potential business owners , ignore the 1%, their only intent is to waste your energy. Focus on the 99%, the 99% appreciate your service and boost your energy.
Protect your energy, because when all else fails, you are the person that has to find solutions. You are the last line of defence.
