While I was standing on the stage in Bentonville, I loaded and unloaded a #shippingcontainer 900 miles away at our plant in beautiful Athens, Ohio.

Craig from QuickLoadz was fantastic in figuring this thing out. Today Rick from Cutting Solutions got the table to do its first cuts. We are very close to being able to make the custom beams we need to take our trailers to the next level.
IT LIVES!!! A year ago we realized that we couldn't get the custom beams from our vendors we needed and so the search for a 40′ plasma table began. Six months ago I found one, months of putting together three semi loads of parts.
Good to tour Quickloadz and Athens Mold and Machine this afternoon, to talk about how we can best help manufacturers here in Appalachia to compete and succeed.
.@TimRyan is escaping the rain with stop #3 for today: a tour of Quickloadz in Athens, which manufacturers technology that quickly and easily moves shipping containers. (And prides itself on their homegrown staff who are almost all Athens natives!) #OHSen
Our new 400-ton press arrived.
In the constant battle to eliminate bottlenecks, we needed a bigger press devoted to bending long sections of heavy steel. Our supplier of bent sections would sometimes be 5 weeks out.
This 56k lb. press barely fit through the door. ImPRESSive!
This was the first time I had been to a FreightWaves Live Event. It was fantastic. @TimothyDooner and @VincentTheDude put out some energy that you really appreciate when you see them live. Great guys to hang out with, too.
First ever cross-country remote loading of a sea shipping container went off without a hitch. And it won us "Best in Show".
When we signed up to present, we read "No video. No Power Points. No Exceptions. We want live demos," which makes sense for live broadcast.

All my chain slangers and strap freaks better take a moment and think what an upgrade @QuickLoadz could be for your fleet. Drop off and pick up of containers in 3.5 minutes. No need to go and get soaking wet, muddied up, or freeze your butt off

This @QuickLoadz building set from #FOSC22 may be hands down my favorite branded swag ever. (It was very quickly co-opted for the Jurassic World #supplychain)
There is talking about your product, and there is shipping your product to the customer. QuickLoadz is a shipper. We love our repeat enterprise customers. Three more QuickLoadz heading out to Canada for @UnitedSiteServ. Those galvanized beds will outlast the trucks.
The 12-hour days were worth it, many officers and others in industry were excited to find an #automated way to move loaded sea shipping containers now exists. Government is a slow cycle, but you have to start the boulder rolling.
People lined up in front of the @QuickLoadz Intermodal Robotics Booth at the 36th Annual National Logistics Forum. The US #military is one of the largest #logistics organizations in the world.
They need to move a lot of #shippingcontainers around often times under unfavorable circumstances. I spent last week at the 36th Annual National Logistics Forum which "brings together senior government and industry logistics policy officials…"
