Ceres Recognizes Team Members Who Saved a Life
Ceres recognized Blake Taylor, Joseph Krueger and David Lohr for going the extra nautical mile to help save the life of a truck driver earlier this year.
After securing his load on June 21, 2018, an over-the-road truck driver returned to the checking window and advised that he was experiencing chest pain and tingling in his arms. The truck driver was promptly brought into Ceres’ Baltimore office where he received immediate attention from three clerks: Blake Taylor, Joseph Krueger and David Lohr.
In preparation for a worst-case scenario, the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) was activated and manned, and the Ceres team tended to the truck driver until medics arrived. It was this quick reaction from the three-man team that enabled responders
to safely transport the truck driver to Johns Hopkins Hospital where he received lifesaving medical care. 􏰀
