I want to recognize our terrific team at our Marietta, PA crude oil transloading facility. They’ve demonstrated great leadership in reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by improving our internal infrastructure. Railroad transport has been shown to be 3 to 4 times more fuel efficient than truck transport, so the team in Marietta pushed for a capital investment that would improve our rail infrastructure, thus limiting the number of trucks we put on the road. Prior to our capital improvements, 100% of the oil that left our nearby Bainbridge, PA oil seed crush plant traveled via tank truck. Following our capital improvement, in 2023 Perdue removed the equivalent of 724 trucks off state roadways: that’s equal to avoiding roughly 152 metric tons of emissions annually. #Sustainability #GreenTransport #TeamAchievement

Injuries from 18-wheeler and semi-truck accidents are often far more catastrophic than the average commuter car accidents due to the side, speed, and cargo involved in commercial trucking.

Visibility and transparency are not just niceties in the world of trucking and logistics – they're fundamental pillars that drive efficiency, customer satisfaction, risk mitigation, collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and regulatory compliance. Embracing transparency and investing in technologies that enhance visibility across the supply chain is key to staying competitive in today's rapidly evolving marketplace. #Day1Hustle

Disclaimer: I am not a weather person 🌦️. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and businesses impacted by #HurricaneBeryl. I hope for your safety and well-being as the storm makes landfall in Texas. Over 1.5 million people are without power as a result of Beryl making landfall this morning with over 80mph winds. In supply chain and logistics, #riskmanagement and #riskmitigation strategies are not discussed often enough. When the inevitable happens (and it will), most companies discover they have not done the proper amount of risk assessment and due diligence in their supply chain, which often leads to costly impacts for months after the event. One mitigation strategy we deploy in times of uncontrollable events is leveraging order routing optimization #technology that uses logic to reroute orders to unaffected facilities within the network and prevents service disruptions. As the risk event de-escalates, we transition back to business as usual and fulfill from the most optimal warehouse. A second strategy is leveraging a hub-and-spoke solution to distribute #products to alternate #warehouses. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." This is true regarding inventory positioning to the end consumer – don’t put all your inventory in one warehouse location (it's risky). Instead, distribute products based on the velocity of the SKUs to popular geographies and pivot with ease instead of risking a "full stop." Hurricane Beryl is expected to impact #supplychainoperations in South Texas for the next couple of weeks. Depending on the path further inland, operations could be impacted based on warehouse personnel availability. Having a partner that can maneuver risk is a critical component for brands today. #hurricaneberyl #logistics #riskmitigation

On behalf of Summoned Courage, LLC for Stress Awareness Month April 2024 At a time where the economy is stressful, prices have increased and people are wary, stress levels have increased. OSHA statistics show the following statistics in regards to work related stress: Statistics • Nearly one in five US adults live with a mental illness. • Workplace stress has been reported to cause 120,000 deaths in the US each year. • Approximately 65% of U.S. workers surveyed have characterized work as being a very significant or somewhat significant source of stress in each year from 2019-2021 • 83% of US workers suffer from work-related stress and 54% of workers report that work stress affects their home life. • For every $1 spent on ordinary mental health concerns, employers see a $4 return in productivity gains The numbers are scary but most likely even higher than reported. In reality, we live in a society where numbers play a huge role in our existence. Businesses run numbers to measure their people, we judge social statuses by the number on our bank account, the number of vehicles we own, property, etc. The list is endless. What we fail to see is the person, rather than the number. Employees are measured on KPI performance and it is easy to judge from a management perspective. As leaders, when the numbers show us that we are not at the achieved goal, we push harder. Many leaders are not in the midst of the operations so it is easy to assume the operator isn't performing well. I have always found that if I know my employee, then I can understand how to help them reach their potential, without putting an unbearable amount of pressure on them. People have breaking points, but many times it goes unnoticed. I spent 18 years enduring just that. I have always chosen my people and will continue to do so in any position I am in. I will always start the day making sure my team is in a good place mentally. I have had many conversations, helped dry many tears and allowed my employees to talk to me, so that they felt safe, reassured and felt they could accomplish their tasks. If I could help alleviate just an ounce of stress, I know I made a difference. People are not numbers. A productive team, a successful team happens because of our leadership. As leaders sometimes our responsibilities pull us into different directions, but recognizing we are only as strong as our teams should keep us grounded. Stressed employees can impact a team greatly, it is not effective and it is damaging, not just to the company, but to your people. Put people first, know the value of a person before you dismiss them and always remember that your people are your success. Numbers cannot measure integrity. #mentalhealth #stressawareness #employeementalhealth
