Thumbs up Owens Corning-Fairburn, GA

I went to Owens Corning to get my reload (insulation) and after getting loaded I went in to get my paper work and when handed the paper work they gave me a Owens Corning hat for driver appreciation.

Sure it wasnt much but its the first time I have ever recieved anything from a shipper so I thought It was pretty cool of them to do that.

Has anyone else gotten anything from a shipper such as a hat or etc.....?

I have gotten a couple of hats from some oilfield supply companies. Nothing special, but better than a boot in the ###. Had to ask for them, but if you never ask they can never say no.
