March Madness Becomes April Sadness

​Originally published April, 2017

​I recently had the opportunity to submit picks in a March Madness competition that our insurance company provided online and for free. First prize was an all-expense-paid trip to Las Vegas for two. To make a long story short, I was in first place going into the final game between Villanova and North Carolina. I had North Carolina to win, and if you were paying attention to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championships, you know that my hopes for finally seeing the bright lights of sin city were dashed in the final second.
 
Please don’t ask me how I did it, because, although I love sports, I don’t have the time to watch much college basketball. It did make things exciting for me for the few weeks that the tournament lasted, and it gave me some serious credibility whenever the topic of brackets came up with friends and family. I am hoping that my insurance company will do this again next year, and, with nearly 1,000 of their customers participating, I suspect that they will.
 
I would like to tell you more about our excellent insurance company, Energi, and why you should even care that Crowley Fuel uses them for all of their coverage. The most important reason is their risk management program and the training they provide to me and my staff to help minimize the risk of oil releases and service problems. Their Regional Safety Manager Evan Huhtala has been to our office three times in the past year to conduct training for our drivers and service technicians.
 
Topics have included: Heating Oil Delivery and Safety, Oil Tank and Oil Line Inspections, Distracted Driving, Vehicle Inspection, Vent Alarms and Winter Driving Safety. We have also conducted our own in-house training sessions both in group and online with materials provided by Energi. Our company has always put safety first, and I cannot think of a time in our 96-year history that we had to file a claim due to our own negligence.
 
I hope that you, our Crowley Fuel customers, will take comfort in knowing that we have an insurance company like Energi, who not only have us covered for the problems that could arise, but give us the support to prevent those problems from happening in the first place. It helps when they give you the opportunity to have some fun and the chance to win some valuable prizes. I wish you luck in next year’s Men’s NCAA Basketball Championships.

Bob
