I'm going to kind of miss working from home

CharlesD · Jun 22, 2014

I've enjoyed working from home, but the time has come to move on. Starting in the new space tomorrow morning with three people, dispatchers to move in when the cubicles are installed in a couple weeks. Anyway, my little corner office isn't bad.

Nice. Are you getting into the warehousing/cross docking business or will it be just for your company?

We're definitely going to generate as much money as we can from the warehouse. I'm hoping to have a forklift in a week or two.

That does not look like a truckers office. Where is the girlie calendar?

Just kidding, good luck.

Sorry, Charles!!
Meant to extend congratulations the other day but I was JEALOUS!!!!
You had a several year jump on us and you deserve that big corner office!!
Great job!! I look forward to using you guys for crossdocks (instead of the dreaded R....) until we jump into an office and warehouse.
ENJOY!!!
And remember, small print shops need space!! $9 PSPM!! That's way competitive to print shops.

Fork extenders would be nice accessory for us CVer's.....if your budget can take it.....

Congrats Charles on the big move!!! Age on forklifts aren't the real telling sign. It is all about the hours on them. It is the odometer of forklifts.

I get excited when the guy ON the forklift knows how to operate it.
I load today where I loaded yesterday.
I'll pj it across the parking lot and use the liftgate instead of having the guy attempt using the forklift again.

My plan is to have at least one person on each shift trained and certified on the forklift.
