The Gerken Companies’ Post

I'd like to take a moment to applaud the remarkable team here at Crane/Titanium. Recently, we had a unique logistical challenge on our hands when we booked a shipment from Ohio to Duluth, Georgia through a broker. Typically, the brokers we collaborate with arrange deliveries to businesses equipped with loading docks. However, in this particular case, the delivery was headed to a residential neighborhood, and it went unnoticed on both ends of the process. Given our lack of equipment for residential deliveries, we faced a dilemma. However, we were committed to meeting our customer's needs, and we had the necessary connections to make it happen. So, we reached out to one of our trusted partners who had a straight truck with a lift gate, obtained a quote, and promptly relayed it to the broker. In a commendable display of teamwork, Luis (pictured) in our shop handled the unloading of the freight from the 53' trailer and skillfully loaded half of it onto the straight truck. This operation required two runs to complete. The driver successfully executed the first part of the delivery and returned promptly for the second half. It's worth noting that this task was accomplished without the aid of a loading dock, a straight truck, a pallet jack, or a lift gate – proving that our team thrives on challenges and finds solutions where others might say "no." In life, you'll undoubtedly encounter individuals who default to negativity and limitations, but I'm proud to say that's not the case with our exceptional team. We are dedicated to delivering outstanding service and relentlessly pursuing success. #letsgo #wemovefreight #wedeliver #solutionsfirst

For all the Linemen out there... name the top three things to consider when operating a bucket truck. For me its 1) Safety - look for overhead lines, other utilities, obstructions, etc. 2) Positioning - am I setup in the right spot, level, etc. 3) Communication - I will not go up in the bucket without my phone. I often work alone and want the ability to call someone if there is an issue.

What an great day working with a solid group of dedicated professionals at ABC Supply Co. Inc. Having common goals is the first step in maintaining a “safety first” fleet.

That's why at Sureway, we have a mighty team behind our brokers to handle all the behind-the-scenes craziness. With just one point of contact, we can handle the A to B, and sometimes the A to Z and then back to B. We know our customers' businesses, personalities, and what resolutions they want to see. We're wired to put out little fires and make it all happen, so you can have one calm and rational person on the front end. At Sureway, we have over 250,000 vetted drivers in our system, meaning there's not a load we can't cover. Find a genuine, hardworking, and transparent broker, and watch the magic happen.
