At Bender Lumber, we show a passion for what we do…we call it “Commitment”. This is one of the “Core Values” we have agreed to strive for. We will admit when we are not at our best, we must remind ourselves of our goal.

Earning your entry into the “Extra Mile Club” is not the only goal our drivers and “Yard Engineers” strive for, each time and after they become a member they may earn more accolades as a “Road Warrior”.

Robbie Hayes is on a roll with his second nomination into the club and our first “Road Warrior”. You see, Robbie loves his job…so much so when he is off on Saturdays from his duties at our Bedford store, he often works at our Bloomington store as a secondary driver and otherwise “Yard Engineer”.

As an engineer, Robbie will work to keep the yard straight, picked up, and culled out. Often during our busy season, the lumber yard area can get untidy and unsafe. Robbie makes sure that he gets this job done and helps train rookie engineers on what to do.

Most recently and when he was not working at our Bedford, IN lumberyard, Robbie has been moonlighting at our Bloomington store installing the new Trex racking that was so desperately needed. Thanks to Robbie it is installed and doing what it should be, keeping our decking clean and ready to ship.

Great job earning your second entry into our “Extra Mile Club” now consider yourself a “Road Warrior”.
