The Challenge
A client in Cincinnati, Ohio, needed help transporting a bulk shipment of trees to Galena, Ohio. The trees required specialized handling to prevent damage during transit. With a total weight of 40,000 pounds, careful planning was necessary to ensure a safe and efficient delivery.
Josh Shaw, the experienced manager of our Ohio office, coordinated the shipment, selecting the best transport method and securing all necessary permits and insurance.

A driver in Cincinnati was assigned the job, and the pickup and drop-off points were carefully planned.
