Atlas Amplifier — Winter 2003

They may have made it look easy. But earning the Milton M. Hill Quality Award is anything but. This year, Atlas is pleased to recognize 46 agents for reaching the highest standards of performance in the company's most rigorous assessment of quality service. This is the most agents ever honored, a 44% increase over last year in the number of those who rate as "the best of Atlas' best."The awards were presented on November 19 at the 56th annual Atlas Convention in Orlando.

What it Takes to Take the Award

To earn the Milton M. Hill Award, agents must excel in three areas:

1. Superior Warehouse Rating:

a score of 90% or higher in random inspections that measure impression, organization, security and risk management.

2. Hauling Excellence Award:

exceptional customer satisfaction with drivers and at least $750,000 in revenue.

3. World Class Commitment:

tough standards in twelve areas that cover customer satisfaction, business process efficiencies, claims, and safety.

Winners Refine the Process

Atlas quality is premised on continuous improvement, so Milton M. Hill Award recipients serve two years on the Quality Focus Advisory Committee. They meet twice a year to consider how Atlas quality policies and procedures might be made better. Their recommendations form the basis for ongoing refinements that keep Atlas' quality at the forefront of the industry.

Atlas is pleased to recognize the 2002-2003 Milton M. Hill Quality Award winners. We extend our respect and congratulations to all who were "tested and not bested."
