Justin Holt
Route Foreman
You might be confused about where all our trucks go and on which days. But Justin isn’t. That’s because he lives routes, routes, and more routes. For him, a successful route is like Kanō Jigorō’s judo success: “maximum efficiency with minimum effort.”
Rick Gibson
Shop Foreman
Rick has worked at Pullman Disposal since September of 1982. A gifted mechanic, Rick has kept our high-tech trucks rolling smoothly since he became Shop Foreman in 1990.
Jim Thompson
Safety Officer
There’s a sign when you leave the PDS office that says “Your Number One Job Is To Be Safe.” Jim is our safety officer and helps make sure this happens! We believe in “Safety Always,” so we appreciate everything Jim does!
Tim Holt
Drop Box Driver
Tim has been with the company since March of 1999. As a longtime employee, Tim has been on the Safety Committee for many years. Along with Jim, he is very concerned about the health and safety of the crew. He also assists Rick in keeping the PDS shop a safe place to work.
