WINTER 2025

SAFETY. QUALITY. PRODUCTION.

The TEAM the TEAM the TEAM! What an incredible second season as
EMPLOYEE OWNERS! I want to personally THANK each and every
OWNER for their contribution to another successful season.

The TEAM has successfully completed the Grandview Parkway project,
the largest project in Team Elmer’s history. It is a historic project which
will serve northwest Michigan for many decades. It took a heroic effort
by all associated within the following divisions: safety, equipment, dirt,
aggregate, concrete and asphalt.

Several dirt crews spent the entire season on the project and did an
amazing job. The project management team was also amazing and
were constantly pressed to stay ahead of the dirt crews and
subcontractors.

I truly believe there wasn’t another contractor in the state of Michigan
that could have accomplished what we did.

The Hillman and Petoskey divisions were also rocking it all season
long. They had a tremendous season working from Sault Ste Marie to
Grayling and from Boyne City to Alpena.

They also have significant work on books for the 2025 season.

As we look into the 2025 season, we see another strong year ahead of
us with many opportunities. We need to remain focused on the basics:

SAFETY. QUALITY. PRODUCTION.

May everyone have a joyous and prosperous 2025!

ThE Mt. Pleasant Concrete Crew owned it by showing up at 3AM on a Sunday, tackling a

920-yard gas station parking lot pour ahead of the weather, and getting the job done right!

Special shout-out to those who volunteered from Tri Cities and White Cloud —

your commitment to getting it done, no matter the time or the challenge, is what sets us
apart.This is how we own it — with teamwork, grit, and dedication to excellence.

The strongest most durable, long lasting
roads are built on a stable base. We have that
stable base- the PEOPLE of Team Elmers.

2025 season outlook is bright and busy

just the way we like it.

-JUSTIN

Precision drives progress. Every repair,
every adjustment matters. Our team’s skill,
dedication, and teamwork will build the
foundation for a great 2025 season.

-Ryan G.

Remember for 2025, pre-trip inspections
should include checking if the truck and
trailers have been greased. Regular
greasing prevents premature part wear
and costly repairs due to neglect.

Protect Yourself from the Cold

Wear clothes meant for cold, wet,
and windy conditions such as:

Loose-fitting layers
Hats, socks, shoes, and gloves
Outerwear that will keep you dry

Extreme exposure to the cold can eventually lead to

hypothermia.

Dress Appropriately

After a long night plowing During the 4 Day snow storm,

Craig Thompson was about to finally pull in his driveway to rest
when he stopped to help a stranded driver, Kevin Bramble.

Grateful, Kevin wanted to thank Craig with a gift, so he searched the
neighborhood for an Elmer’s truck and called us for help locate him
and told us A story about him stopping to help him when he was on
the side of the road in need. True kindness, selflessness, and
community — that’s how we own it. You rock, craig!

Work in pairs so that you and a co-worker can spot danger signs in each other.

You are at a higher risk if you take certain medications, are
in poor physical condition, or suffer from illnesses such as
diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease.

Seek Medical Assistance

Hypothermia is a medical emergency

Call 911

Getting help can be the
difference between life and death.
