Think of the last time you tried to have a serious conversation with someone who was looking at their phone or computer. How did that make you feel?

You are focused on the other person and you are listening with your whole body. #listengenerously #murrenway
“Number 1—act with integrity. That would be my favorite fundamental. I also like lead by example, but to lead by example you have to have integrity. You have to lead with integrity.” These are great words, spoken by none other than our Dave Davis, Superintendent, who is celebrating 10 years with the team this month. We can attest that Dave lives these words. “He’s a very honest man,” a teammate said simply. Dave is honest, kind, and a great teacher. He’s always willing to work with his crew, truly leading them by example, as he shows them how to do [...]

“Having worked with Dalton for the past several months I have come to know him as a go-getter. He is never one to just wait around for something to do. He takes the initiative and finds things to do.” That’s the general consensus on Dalton Pierce, a young man who has made quite an impression on the C.A. Murren team since joining us two years ago. Dalton grew up in Kentucky, but by the third grade he was getting to travel with his dad to the various jobsites he worked on (James Pierce is also on the team as a [...]
If you have ever found yourself on the jobsite with Chester, you’ve probably gotten the Chester Mosely experience. You’re going to know when Chester is there. He’s energetic, positive, outgoing and hardworking. “He brings a great attitude to the team, makes everybody laugh,” says a teammate.

Drinking fluids to prevent dehydration, replenishing salt and minerals, and limiting time in the heat can help. Heat-related illnesses include Heatstroke - a life-threatening illness in which body [...]
Sharing the road safely with school buses School buses are one of the safest forms of transportation on the road today. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, riding a bus to school is 13 times safer than riding in a passenger vehicle and 10 times safer than walking to school. The reality of school bus safety is that more children are hurt outside the bus than inside as passengers.
