"I can't believe this is actually in our classroom," said an excited student from the Frankfort High School Civil Construction Pathway. Last week, West Side Tractor delivered a front loader to the CCP students at Frankfort High School to help educate the class and contribute to projects. Thank you to the West Side Tractor Sales Company team for helping build our workforce's future. #WorkINRoads

NEXT GEN. Recruiting the next gen workforce takes a commitment from all of us in the construction industry to move the needle. Just this week alone, we have West Side Tractor team members supporting events across both states. Today, we were at the: - Alignment Collaborative CTE Job Fair in Elgin, IL (over 800 students attend from 3 different school districts!), - Equipment Operation Week at the Work IN Roads Frankfort HS Sandbox in Frankfort, IN, -and at Ivy Tech Community College’s Annual Auto Skills program in Terre Haute, IN (135 students participate). #workforce #heavyequipment #construction #westsidetractor #careersinconstruction

It's National Work Zone Awareness Week (April 15 - 19)! National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) is an annual spring campaign held at the start of construction season to encourage safe driving through highway work zones. These zones are not only places of construction but also where lives intersect - from workers diligently carrying out their tasks (like our West Side field technicians) to motorists navigating through temporary lanes and barriers. It's a time to understand the significance of cautious driving, adherence to speed limits, and heightened awareness of surroundings. The goal is to minimize accidents, injuries, and fatalities, creating an environment where both workers and drivers can navigate the roads safely and confidently. While this national awareness campaign is one week, these are safety expectations we should be following every day on the road. Our West Side Tractor field teams can be found on jobsites across Illinois and Indiana any day, any time. The photo below is an example of environments that our teams work in - early mornings or late nights limiting visibility with variables like precipitation - on the side of a road with traffic buzzing by. Let's all remember how very important it is to keep not only our West Side and RCE Equipment Solutions co-workers SAFE, but also the many other construction workers that build and support the infrastructure we rely on. This Wednesday, we encourage employees to wear ORANGE showcasing our industrywide commitment to safety and solidarity. Construction season is upon us - STAY ALERT, STAY SAFE! #westsidetractor #construction #heavyequipment
