Container Storage Case Study – Amy’s Kitchenware https://lnkd.in/gE2SCCna Amy’s Kitchenware, based in Wisconsin, wants to start a line of safe cooking glassware to rival giants like Pyrex, MadeIn, or OXO. To create her cookware Amy needs to import the main ingredients from Japan including boron trioxide, silica sand, and sodium carbonate, all of which are hazardous. She wants to increase production but was informed by her senior engineer that the oven that creates the hardened glass to make the kitchenware has broken down and needs a new part. Realizing that a shipment of the raw material is already on the way, Amy knows they don’t have enough inventory space to accept and store all the materials she ordered. Hence, she reaches out to her carrier with a question. “Is there any way we can wait on these upcoming shipments for next week? Our inventory is currently full as we wait on a piece to repair our machine.”

We’ve reached the halfway point of the 2024 National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, and we’d like to take a moment to recognize four exceptional drivers who have truly gone the extra mile. Mike Adams, Phil Melhorn, Luc Kaniewski and Jack Kaniewski have each dedicated over 25 years to Whimsy, maintaining spotless records with no preventable accidents. Their commitment to safety and excellence sets a high standard for everyone in the industry, and they are true role models for newer drivers. We extend our deepest thanks to these outstanding individuals and to all the drivers who tirelessly support our nation, one load at a time! These 4 drivers have combined for 100+ years of professional driving. Here are some fun facts about what 100 years of professional driving looks like: - 15 million miles driven - 2,728,000 gallons of fuel - 750 oil changes - 7000 gallons of oil - 500 tires replaced #NTDAW #NTDAW2024 #TruckDriverAppreciation #Whimsy #WhimsyIntermodal #Intermodal #Freight #OceanFreight #TruckDriver #Trucking #Drayage #Transportation

The Growing Need for Secure and Affordable Truck and Trailer Parking and Storage - https://lnkd.in/dksE8NvZ The logistics and transportation industry is a cornerstone of modern economies, facilitating the movement of goods across vast distances. Central to this industry are trucks and trailers, which deliver everything from raw materials to finished products. As the volume of goods transported by road continues to rise, so too does the demand for secure and affordable parking and storage solutions for these vehicles.
