Happy Holidays
Breakaway would like to wish all of our customers and employees a joyous holiday season. This can be a trying time of year but just remember to go easy on the eggnog and everything will be just fine.
Snow Pool
Once again its time to poll all you precipitation prognosticators out there. Just give Account Manager Ralph Santoni a call with your guess of the number of inches of snowfall that Central Park will receive by April 1st, 2004. If your guess is the closest to being correct, you will win a special gift. Consult your favorite soothsayer and call us to join the fun.
Early Shopper Appreciation
When it comes to holiday shopping the early bird truly gets the worm. The longer the delay in heading to the store, the longer are the lines that await the desperate shopper. The same thing holds true for your bulk holiday deliveries. The longer you wait, the more uncertain your delivery date becomes. Call us immediately to insure worry free delivery.
Breakaway R&D
The Breakaway R&D department is always working on ways to improve our trucking services. Its latest project is to vastly increase our trucking fleet, during the winter months, by using ice-sculpted vehicles. They have run into a snag. As the engines warm up, they tend to drop out the bottom of the ice trucks. Until this little problem is solved we will have to rely on our large existing fleet of vans, lift-gate and big-haul trucks. Stay tuned for more details.
Online Order Tracking
Customers can track their large (and small) holiday orders online at www.breakawaycourier.com. This puts us one step ahead of a certain reindeer-equipped competitor. Please contact Account Manager Ralph Santoni directly with any questions at 646-674-8353 or rsantoni@breakawaycourier.com.
Stump the Band…
Last month, we asked you to tell us the name of the child born on the Mayflower during the crossing of the Atlantic. Several people knew the answer but many more were interested in finding out the answer. The child born during the crossing was named Oceanus. He was the son of Stephen and Elizabeth Hopkins.
T-shirt Question
What is the name of America’s oldest, continually operating hotel? The first person to call Ralph Santoni (with the correct answer) will win a coveted Breakaway T-shirt.
