Everyone has to start somewhere! Starting a Freight Logistics business from nothing whether that’s a Carrier, Broker or another link in the supply chain like warehousing is not easy. I just started advertising my newly formed Gateway Crate and Freight business when I got my first Crating order back in 2012 from a mining company needing 30 crates. I had only a few tools and my past industry experience. Like many Entrepreneurs I had to find a way to fulfill this order for my first client! I threw a pizza party for a bunch of my friends at my house who came over and helped me build all these crates in my garage! I’m sure you have read about the companies that started with pizza and friends in a garage: Microsoft Apple Amazon And Gateway Crate and Freight Here are pics of us working on that first order in my garage. You got to start somewhere. lol Everyone have a Freight Day #papafreight

Recently a web hosting data center here in Phoenix announced closing their doors. Different companies who owned equipment in this center needed their equipment taken out and moved to a new hosting center. This one needed to go from Arizona to New Jersey. These servers host “live data” and the companies web systems are down during this time so transport speed is of the utmost importance. But again protecting all the info in these servers was paramount. ESD bagging is essential to protect live data (Pink Bags). We bagged each server then protected them from shifting with blocks of PE Foam, crated and secured the contents. Expedited this crate to its destination and the company was back up online in a matter of days. Website down? Maybe it’s because the company was forced to move its data servers to the other side of the country. We got it done, safely, securely and fast. Everyone have a Freight Day. #papafreight

Gaylord Containers are a perfect packing option for many pack and ship jobs we do. The D Container is one of our most utilized bulk cargo boxes because it is a standard sized pallet. When we were hired to close down this call center (your welcome, no one likes sales call centers! lol) we utilized the Gaylord’s to pack up the computer sets. CPUs, Monitors, headsets, peripherals all were packed up into these containers and shipped out. We carry double and triple corrugated D Containers in all of our warehouses for pack and ship jobs exactly like this one. Everyone have a Freight Day. #papafreight
