With summertime approaching, you may feel the temptation to spend more time in the sun. While soaking up some UV rays can be good for your mental and physical health, we wanted to take some time to go over one of the unfortunate consequences of spending time in the sun without proper UV protection: skin cancer.
National Volunteer Week (April 16-22) is a week where the impact of volunteer service is recognized and uplifted. One of Ascend's company values is TEAMWORK! Through teamwork, we make a difference to our customers, communities, and families — together!
Titan CEO and headline sponsor Wipfli LLP are pleased to announce Chief Executive Officer of Ascend, Michael McLary, as a 2023 Georgia Titan 100. The Titan 100 program recognizes Georgia’s Top 100 CEOs & C-level executives. They are the area’s most accomplished business leaders in their industry using criteria that include demonstrating exceptional leadership, vision, and passion. Collectively, the 2023 Georgia Titan 100 and their companies employ upwards of 118,000 individuals and generate over $36 billion in annual revenue. McLary, alongside this year’s fellow honorees, will be published in a limited-edition Titan 100 book and profiled exclusively online. They will be recognized at an awards ceremony on April 27, 2023, and will be given the opportunity to interact and connect multiple times throughout the year with their fellow Titans.
Ascend understands the stress that comes with caring for your own health as well as your family’s while you’re on the road. So, we’re excited to have MetLife Vision as a driver benefit program that reduces the stress and cost of prioritizing your health.
We know how hard truck drivers work to keep the country running and their families cared for. That’s why Ascend has made it a top priority to take care of our drivers – from competitive compensation to generous home time and having the resources they need for their wellness goals. One of the many benefits Ascend drivers enjoy is our LiveHealth Online program. We told you about this program last year but for those who don’t know or need a refresher, here’s what LiveHealth Online can do for you. LiveHealth Online gets our drivers in immediate contact with board-certified doctors 24/7. If you’re enjoying time at home with your family or hundreds of miles away on the road, LiveHealth Online easily and quickly connects you to the help you need – all while costing less than a trip to urgent care. When you partner with Ascend, you drive for a carrier that cares about you in and out of the driver’s seat. Interested in learning more about our driving opportunities open now to CDL-A drivers?

One of Ascend’s core missions is to maintain a People First culture across our entire organization. That starts with listening to our drivers, the experts on the road. With this in mind, we decided to create Ascend’s first-ever Driver Advisory Board. We are proud to announce that our Driver Advisory Board has been officially established and will begin operations this year! We spent January carefully reviewing nearly 180 nominations to determine a group of 12 drivers who will serve on the Driver Advisory Board. After an initial review, there was a rigorous vetting process that included safety performance evaluations and feedback from individual driver managers. The selected drivers come from a variety of tenures and route types, providing us with the most expansive understanding of all our drivers’ needs, goals, and ideas. We’re confident that these 12 drivers will collectively act as the Voice of the Driver and help us make the changes our drivers truly want to see!
