Message From Burgie
If you were unable to attend the CARB meeting this past Friday, May 5th I made the announcement that it was my last day as a membership consultant for CTA. With this said I need to thank all of the Kern Unit for all your dedication and support over the last 5 years. The Kern Unit has played a very important part of my life and I hope to continue the relationship with some of you as I venture out on my own as a Transportation Consultant. I have multiple years of experience in the trucking business from driver to eventually being President/Partner of Nikolaus Tank Lines. I made this decision because I feel I can be an asset to your company when the need comes that you’re just not sure what direction you may need to go. My goal as a consultant will be to see you succeed in the business you chose to be in.
Moving Forward, Tina Ferguson currently with CTA has been chosen as my replacement. I have worked closely with Tina over the past few years and I can assure you that Tina will be there to serve you. I only ask that you support her as you have served me with my departure. I won’t be a stranger and I will see those attending the Kern Unit Golf Tournament on May 25th.
In closing, again thank you for supporting me and I hope I have served you!!
- Bill "Burgie" Burgemaster
