Wade Sprengeler Retires!

The Ballast Team would like to send a big thank-you to Wade
Sprengeler for his service to the team as Manager, Fleet
Maintenance. Wade made the decision to officially retire and
spend time with family and friends (he wanted to go fishing)
and begin a new chapter in his life. Wade joined the Ballast
team form Engineering where he began his career at Loram.
As he spent time supporting the ballast fleet, he decided to
transfer into the Operations Department following Mike
Olson’s retirement. It was a good fit for both parties and
Wade was able to bring his knowledge of hydraulics as well as
control systems directly to the team. Wade oversaw several
upgrade projects and led a group of Product Specialists dedi-
cated to fleet reliability. It was a great run, thanks Wade for
all the hours you put in and enjoy all those fish fry’s yet to
come!
