Penske Project

By Phil Whitney

The Boise office is now officially up and running!
We have secured the Penske Trucking Facility with Steed Construction, a
well respected general contractor here in Boise, who also has an office in
Utah.

Penske Trucking is a full-service commercial truck leasing company
started by Roger Penske, who is a retired professional racing car driver
and heavily involved in both the IndyCar series and NASCAR with Team
Penske. Roger is also the owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
and the NTT IndyCar Series.

The project includes a 6,700 square foot main office attached to a
14,000 square foot truck repair shop with six bays. There is also an
automated truck wash, like a car wash only more extensive, and a
truck fueling island. The most challenging aspect of this project
is their requirement that there be no exposed conduit on the
walls in the service area, requiring everything to be in the block.
We are very fortunate to have Ben Garner as our foreman on
this job with his extensive construction experience and we
are proud to be associated with the Penske name.

Wrong Address…

Stills Scores

Pat Haynes Division Manager for Sierra Vista

received a letter from Ismail a 5th grader at
Trent Elementary School in Spokane Valley, WA.
Ismail wrote a letter to Wilson, the maker of
basketballs but inadvertently mailed it to the
wrong address which happened to be our Sierra
Vista office.
Ismail along with his classmates were given an
assignment to practice their business writing
skills.

He explained why he thought Wilson made a
superior product.

We enjoyed reading his letter and wanted to
make sure he received a Wilson basketball so we
reached out to his teacher Mr. Cusick to let him
know we would be sending a “Wilson” basketball
to Ismail along with a letter explaining what we
do (in case he or his classmates are interested in
becoming an electrician) and some Wilson
Electric swag for all the students including pens,
pencils, highlighters and stickers.
