The Secret To Great Service... 

Happy Employees!

Dear Friends:                                     Van Etten Oil Kenworth T-300 Tanker

We believe that great service starts with great employees--people who care, and who have desire and experience to do the job right. Employees who feel they're treated well and fairly will treat customers the same way. An experienced employee will be more likely to do each project right the first time, avoid repeat visits and advise customers.

That's why we encourage our people to think of their work as a career, not just a job. The result? Our employees have been with us an average of 25 years. It's even common for employees to be with us long enough to retire, which is pretty rare these days.   

Generation after generation, our family owned company has kept up this tradition of employee appreciation. We're proud of all of them and the work they do. In the end, it is their pride and professionalism that assure continuing customer satisfaction and the success of our company.

Jan S. Van Etten
