“I want every Class 1 Professional employee who was involved in our project. You did an EXCELLENT job refurbishing the Bridge Control House Office and have my deep appreciation for a job more than well done! It is now 300% better, SAFER, cleaner, organized, modern, and brighter than it has ever been in the 11 & 1/2 years that I have worked inside of it! Even though it is a UP Slogan, all of you demonstrated the ‘Courage to Care’ and that to me, is an understatement. Please keep it up. I will recommend Class 1 Professionals every chance I get!”

— Bob Phillips (35+ Years of RR Service)

“Class 1 Professionals have helped us take care of the most important issues, at the most inopportune times. When they say 24/7 support – they MEAN 24/7 support! Mike & Lora are always quick to get us information, answers and most importantly – results. Our partnership with them has become invaluable and we rely on them heavily – but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks to all the PROS at Class 1 Professional Services!”

— Matthew C. (28+ Years of RR Service)
