On the recordNovember 7, 2017
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an outstanding constituent from my district, Andy Thiele of Monticello. Andy recently competed in the 2017 International Foodservice Distributors Association Truck Driving Championship in Orlando, Florida. This competition highlights the best drivers in the food industry. This competition honors drivers from all over the country and their commitment to safety and excellent customer service. Andy's devotion to safety is clear, as he has been accident free for 11 years and counting. IFDA members, like the Twin Cities division of Reinhart Foodservice where Andy is employed, supply food to professional kitchens, hospitals, care facilities, colleges, and hotels. We need truck drivers like Andy who deliver our Nation's food efficiently and safely across the country every day. I commend Andy and all those who competed in the competition this year for their dedication to professionalism and safety. I am glad my district, the State of Minnesota, and our Nation have dedicated truck drivers like Andy Thiele. Lifesavers in St. Cloud
