contract that was recently adopted by City Council and does not know what he is supposed to be

Motion seconded by Councilor Smith.
Kevin Pearson, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, presented Billy Ulm and Eric Ulm,
owners of ULM Corporation,. Also present were Ted Baker, Operations Manager, Jamie Toogood,
Office Manager, and Lauren San Miguel.
Billy Ulm, 1240 Ramser Dr. Bogart, Georgia, briefly explained their business, equipment, and
procedures. They are located in the old Penske property on 1901 Central Freeway East, and in the
process of purchasing; closing tomorrow.
Scott Hunter, 2609 Amherst, wanted to know what this company was going to do that local
providers are not already doing, who have been paying local taxes. Billy Ulm stated that there are not a
lot of companies that work for Sunoco on this scale; ULM Corporation will be getting and managing up to
150 trucks, service, drivers, and everything that goes with it. It is a different type business than running a
trucking company with approximately 10 or a15 trucks. We have a better opportunity to haul oil daily
because of the management and financial stability. Pipelines need to be assured that they will be able to
haul oil every day and on time. Also, other companies do not have the ticket system where a driver that
provides data feed to our customers immediately; it is cleaner to keep up with as well.
Councilor Ingle expressed concern about the possibility of shortage of CDL drivers. Kevin
Pearson, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, has begun discussion with Vernon College
regarding a CDL training school to help those local companies who might lose truck drivers to ULM and
possibly send them to ULM as well.
Billy Ulm informed that they have three recruiters that are hiring CDL drivers for them and of the
52 drivers they currently have, less than half are from Wichita Falls. We will have to import drivers from
outside. The 360 drivers will be a 3 year phase-in; 140 will be hired this year.
Mayor Barham commented that it is a matter of competition. The average local truck driver wage
is about $55,000-$60,000 and if they want to get good qualified drivers they will have to go higher than
that. It is competition and that is what drives our economy
Motion carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Barham, Councilors Roberts-Burns, Smith, Pope, Hooker, Ingle, and Ward
Nays: None
