[quote:Saskafrass:MV80NTkzNDg2XzgzNjk2NjEwX0ZCMTA2NTA4] Americold, those places are like the Loblaws. If one iota of the numbers on the paperwork is wrong then everything comes to a full stop. Been to many of their facilities. Everyone only can do their job, they will sit and stare at you not saying why everyone has halted work and you must be psychic to rectify the error. They tend to be real nice people, but everyone is afraid of stepping on toes of other employees and management. Follow the SOP, follow the SOP, follow follow follow follow, follow the SOP. Knowing how everything is run by the numbers, what's ordered, what's coming in, which dock, which level of cooling is required or dry storage, how long to off load and/or lumper. If you mess with the system it really makes for interesting times. [/quote]

I won't name the specific company, but they have 250+ sites across the country specializing in refrigerated and frozen storage and shipping. All sites systems are down and they've shut their gates so trucks can no longer enter to pickup product. I know this because I'm the supply chain director for a food company that sells refrigerated dairy products. We use this company as a third party logistics supplier and I'm completely unable to ship Thangsgiving orders from any of their sites across the country. I've got a rough day ahead of me workwise to figure out to mitigate any of this.
Be vigilant.
