• • <br />MILLER TRANSPORTERS, INC. <br />SPECIALIST <br />IN TRANSPORTING BULK <br />COMMODITIES <br />Mr. David Paulissen <br />City of La Porte <br />P. 0. Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Dear Mr. Paulissen: <br />April 24, 1984 <br />r-~, <br />P. O. BOX 1123 <br />JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI <br />39205.1123 <br />60(/922.8331 <br />My name is Bill Netherton. I am Director of Maintenance for Miller <br />Transporters, Inc. and have been employed by Miller since January 1, 1947. <br />As you know, we have an application before the City of La Porte to build <br />a truck terminal on Sixteenth Street. Mr. Eddie Gray has stated that in <br />order to act on our application, the City needs general information about <br />our company and specifically as to whether Miller has ever been charged <br />by the Enviromental Protection Agency with a violation of its regulations. <br />The purpose of this letter is to supply you with this information. <br />The answer to the violation question is, "No, Miller Transporters has <br />never been charged by the E.P.A. with a violation." <br />For information about our company, I am enclosing reprints of a magazine <br />article and also a copy of a magazine with another article about our company <br />Miller Transporters' corporate headquarters is in Jac'~son, Mississippi. <br />It is a family owned corporation with five Miller brothers as principal <br />stockholders. The company has been in business since 1939 operating as a <br />common carrier hauling commodities in bulk. The company has approximately <br />600 tractors and 800 trailers operating out of twenty-four terminal location__ <br />The principal states of operation are Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississ- <br />ippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. The only terminal Miller <br />presently has in the State of Texas is a small one recently opened in <br />Beaumont, Texas. <br />Miller presently has transports delivering and loading in La Porte and <br />the surrounding area and badly needs a full service terminal. It is <br />expected that thirty to forty people would be employed at the terminal <br />with fifteen to twenty assigned transport units. <br />I believe Bill t~icNutt and Eddie Gray are working up other information <br />that you require. If agreeble with you, either Scott~Miller, our company <br />president, or Jaime Miller, our board chairman, will be present to answer <br />any further questions the board may have when it meets to act upon our <br />application. <br />my <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Eddie Gray, Bill McNutt <br />Yours very truly, <br />tJ. S . Netherton <br />Director of Maintenance <br />
