2020 IC Conference Highlights – Moments That Matter
(COPPELL, TEXAS – March 6, 2020) Daryl Flood Relocation & Logistics and Dependable RELO hosted the 22nd Annual Independent Contractor (IC) Conference at the Hilton DFW Lakes in Grapevine, Texas, on Saturday, February 8. The conference brings together the team of van operators from all over the country for a day of camaraderie, education and celebration.
“We recognize life on the road can be difficult,” said Jeff Talbot, Senior Vice President of Operations. “It’s a big reason we put on this event each year. We want to facilitate an opportunity for drivers and their spouses to create great work relationships, a space for drivers to get meaningful information on the state of our business and industry, and an avenue to openly demonstrate our appreciation for what they do each and every day to make the Daryl Flood companies successful.”
The high point of the day was the awards ceremony recognizing the top performing drivers of 2019.
