Subject: q&d
I just wanted to thank you guys for getting back to us this weekend with our q&d request. Having that done saved our OE people a lot of time and allowed us to find material to help in the storm relief effort. We were able to get nearly 10 rigs out to LA this weekend because of it. I appreciate knowing I can count on you guys in an urgent situation. That's why I called you all first.

Techline Works Through Labor Day Weekend in Hurricane Response
  
Body:
Techline Alexandria has been working 15 hour days since the middle of last week.  On top of that Techline Austin, Amarillo, Fort Worth, Jacksonville, and San Antonio answered the call by sending 9 truckloads of material to Louisiana starting Friday evening, Sept 2nd.  The first request was made at 4:30PM on Friday and by 4:30AM Saturday, the first 2 trucks were on the road from Techline Austin.  Thanks to all the employees hard work that participated in this response. What a Labor Day weekend it was.

Most of this material was sent to CLECO which provides electricity from Central Louisiana to just North of Lake Ponchatrain. Cleco said our response to them was "amazing".
