Here at Cummings Lumber, we’re incredibly proud of the dedication and versatility of our team, and Willie Bruhl, one of our exceptional truck drivers, recently went above and beyond!

Willie wasn’t delivering logs; he was delivering and setting up a bridge for a logging job. Talk about a crucial delivery! And as if that wasn’t enough, Willie, ever the professional, personally tested the newly installed bridge by crossing it with his log truck. Now that’s what we call quality control!

A huge thank you to Willie for his incredible work, his commitment to getting the job done right, and for providing us with these fantastic photos of the bridge setup and test run. Your dedication to Cummings Lumber doesn’t go unnoticed, Willie!

Here at Cummings Lumber, we want to send a huge thank you to Jim VanNoy for his incredible dedication! Jim recently made a challenging run to Clearfield, PA, to pick up a load of dry sawdust.

The remarkable part? He navigated Interstate 80 through some seriously intense fog. Driving in those conditions requires immense focus and skill, and Jim got the job done safely and efficiently.

It’s drivers like Jim who truly embody the commitment and professionalism we value. Thanks for everything you do, Jim!
