Esmeier is currently a shop manager at Husker Concrete and works with Inland’s Lincoln store on a regular basis. Inland says Husker Concrete supplies high-quality, ready-mixed concrete products to areas throughout southeastern Nebraska.
“I’m a 12-year customer of Inland Truck Parts in Lincoln. I’m in there once or twice a week buying parts, and they also do some service work for me when I’m really backed up. I usually work with Adam Crist or Tony Zigler — Tony was the one who told me about the giveaway and dropped off a flyer,” Esmeier says. “I told him I wasn’t going to enter because I never win anything, but fortunately, I changed my mind this time. What a surprise!”
As the grand prize winner, Esmeier selected the deep-sea fishing expedition from three all-expenses-paid, outdoor weekend adventures; including a pheasant hunt in South Dakota and a stock car racing trip in Kansas City. Esmeier’s trip package also includes three nights at the Ft. Lauderdale Bahia Mar Beach Resort, Inland says.
“I don’t get to Florida very often, so I’m really looking forward to spending some time off with my wife, floating around on the boat,” says Esmeier, who has never been deep sea fishing.
In addition to the grand prize, each of Inland’s locations gave away an outdoors enjoyment package valued at more than $700, including a road trip grill, canopy, picnic table, chairs, grilling tools, a cooler and more. More than 1,675 of Inland’s customers entered the giveaway, which ran from June 15 to Aug.15, 2011.
“We really enjoyed this opportunity to reward some of our hard-working customers,” says Dave Scheer, president of Inland Truck Parts. “We’re honored that people like Chuck have relied on Inland for so many years for their truck parts and service needs — I hope he enjoys the fishing in Florida.”
