It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear friend and Vice President, Veronica McNew. After a long, hard fight against cancer, she was called home on December 3, 2021. Veronica faithfully served EE USA for 25 years. She began her career at EE USA in the Effluents Testing Lab. Through her hard work, she quickly became Effluents Testing Lab Supervisor, then Marketing Manager and most recently, Vice President. Veronica was a self-starter with her father’s work ethic. When her responsibilities within EE USA changed, you could still find her assisting in the lab. She was always ready to lend a helping hand, even when her fight against cancer was very debilitating. Veronica is survived by her husband Trigg, mother, brother, and a host of family members. She will be greatly missed by the EE USA family. We ask that you pray for her husband, mother and family in the days and weeks ahead.
EE USA provides sample kits with sample containers, sampling instructions, and a chain-of-custody form. EE USA will coordinate and schedule sampling events to meet your needs and sample specific holding times.
When we know in advance, pick-ups are added to our “trip sheet” and our driver will not leave the shore base until we confirm that the sample did not make it to the shore base as planned.
Post Hurricane Ida, we made nonscheduled daytime pick-up and deliveries (like a Hot-Shot service) to Lafayette, New Iberia, Lake Charles, etc. at very low prices. The routine shore bases were not operational, we were not running our routine free route, and we were able to combine trips to these temporary shore bases in some instances. With more and more routine shore bases back online, we can’t operate as a hot-shot service AND maintain our routine free routes.
If you cannot utilize our free pick-up and delivery service, we suggest shipping by Federal Express or Hot-Shot. Please call with any questions at all or to schedule your sample pick-up!
If you are still displaced from your routine shore bases and won’t use a Hot-Shot, we can pick-up samples at these locations at the indicated cost: Lafayette/New Iberia, $260 or Lake Charles, $340. Other locations, P.O.R. Day Time Hours Only!
If you’re shipping a sample for delivery after hours, please call 985-960-2313 thirty minutes before arrival. We accept sample 24 hours / 7 days a week.
