About full tilt logistics
Obviously, the past several weeks have had a devastating impact on individuals, families, local and state governments, our national economy, and well-being. Along with the wreckage of the greatest economy in the world, many Americans have experienced a toll on their lives and related social issues have been significant. No one saw this coming.
The COVID-19 situation has significantly impacted Full Tilt and we have had to furlough employees and do more with less. Over the last several years, we’ve provided transportation services to many large trade shows, exhibits, and other large events. This year, these events came to an abrupt stop, forcing us to move in other directions and get creative in our ability to navigate through the situation. Many customers have stopped paying, yet we continue to pay our carriers and drivers. How long this will last is uncertain.
On a positive note, we have been able to be part of the solution to keeping critical support services moving through the supply chain. This has been extremely rewarding for our company. In addition to moving critical items, we have been partnering with FEMA and called into action to fulfill contracts and provide support services during this deadly virus outbreak. Full Tilt’s partnership with FEMA goes back to Hurricane Harvey and we have seen firsthand the devastation nature can bring. The current situation is much different.
Our drivers and carriers are critical in maintaining the lifeline supply chain. As sickness and death surround everyone, people realize that logistics and supply chain operations are needed for survival with a sincere appreciation for the trucking industry. As part of the supply chain industry during these times, we are thankful to be able to do our part. Every day we see or hear about an act of selflessness completed by someone making their contribution to the fight. We are so thankful to our drivers and carriers who continue to drive. Their commitment and willingness to stay on the road during this time keep supply chains open. It’s uplifting to know that people are communicating and collaborating as needed to service our frontline responders, our foodservice industry, and other vital needs. We are proud Full Tilt Logistics is supporting the needs of FEMA and other industries responding to the war with the virus.
Full Tilt Logistics is known in our community for shipping freight throughout Nevada and across the country. We can help any business size from Mom & Pop stores that are going to reopen to FEMA and other government agencies. Through our ability to react in this crisis, we have demonstrated that we change as business needs dictate. At Full Tilt, we hope everyone stays safe. Keep on trucking for the win against COVID 19!
This winter has been record-setting for moisture in the Sierra Nevada mountains as well as most of California. At Full Tilt Logistics, we love being headquartered in the beautiful Reno-Tahoe area with an excellent lifestyle. We get to witness first hand some of the problems drivers must deal with when it comes to winter freight shipping.
Interstate 80 is the major east-west thoroughfare through for the Reno trucking industry but the road has often been closed for weather this year. Nevada and California state transportation departments do their best to maintain travel but there are many times the driving can be stopped or slow going at best. We occasionally see drivers try and get by stalled traffic to keep the delivery schedule on time as much as possible. Several drivers have attempted to use local neighborhood streets to avoid heavy traffic.
As you can see by the photo below, this doesn’t always work out. This photo was taken recently in a residential neighborhood just off I 80 near the Nevada-California state line.
We all understand the tough job winter freight shipping drivers have and how important good drivers are to the success of our industry. The frustration level ramps up because of weather and traffic delays but, as the photo shows, don’t always believe your GPS for the shortest and best route. Often in the hectic world of logistics we all are quick to anger and assign blame and at times, that may be justified.
We need to keep in mind there a lot of moving parts (no pun intended) in the logistics world and things can and often do go wrong. The good news is that shippers, customers, freight brokerage companies and drivers are all working together to achieve the desired outcome- on time delivery. In the day to day hectic world we all live in, let’s all remember it takes a team to get the job done and we all make mistakes.
