Pennyrile Electric Coop Safety Week. .

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Pennyrile Electric and Safety Director, Ali Cotton, for inviting me to be a guest speaker at several of their locations during Safety Week. I truly appreciate the opportunity to speak with your team about the importance of safety and the dangers of distracted driving.

Driving a commercial vehicle requires constant attention and awareness. One moment of distraction can have serious consequences, which is why it is so important to keep distractions at bay and remain focused on the road and the task at hand.

Thank you again, Pennyrile Electric for keeping the lights on.. And Ali, for your hospitality and the importance of safety with your team. I enjoyed meeting everyone and appreciate your commitment to keeping safety a top priority!

Stay safe out there!!
