Uncle Intel, largest cold/frozen storage operation in the US has had systems completely shut down

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.

All we would have to do is call Americold and try to set an appt. I bet its got alot to do with vaccine storage and why let a crisis go to waste? If those orders cant be delivered and picked up, that's going to be catastrophic.

Why not name the company so we can validate ? Oh...that’s why, we would be able to confirm or deny, and it wouldn’t align with your story. Apparently you don’t have too busy a day since you posted here instead of mitigation huh ?

Highly probable scenario as many companies are struggling to keep their doors open during the pandemic. They could be the suppliers of the restaurant industry as well as groceries but without the supply demands of the restaurant industry they are unable to pay their bills nor meet payroll demands.

This type of sudden shutdown is usually required during bankruptcy filings or going out of business period. But of course we don’t know because you will not give the name and instead choose to spread doom and gloom without any verification, fake news is born in this manner

I read a comment somewhere some time ago saying China plans to poison the US milk supply. It was either here or the other popular image board.

I'm not in IT I am a supervisor at the place in question. I have been there over 20 years. We run dependent on internet access. If we can't get internet we are done. Not many of us there that even remember the days of paper
