 Congratulations to Phil Ferris and our truck shop associates for their FIRST PLACE finish in the “Winter Wonderland” Convoy Parade at Portland International Raceway.
The evening started with a parade of local 'big rigs' departing from Jubitz Travel Center & working their way around the maze of holiday lights at PIR. Judging took place afterwards while on-lookers were treated to candy canes and BIG smiles from the Sysco Elves. No surprise they are already planning ‘next years’ truck - so many talented employees!
