Podcasts about forklifts

Charlie Nitschelm is the co-founder and CEO of Uplift, a company building affordable, rapidly deployable temporary housing. Uplift's first product is a 90-square-foot, off-grid home designed for one to two people that can be transported fully assembled, placed with a standard forklift, and self-level without a foundation or skilled labor for deployment.In this episode of Inevitable, Nitschelm explains how his experience at SpaceX and Starlink, followed by an intensive period of studying homelessness, poverty, and other social challenges, led him to think about housing as a problem that could benefit from a fundamentally different architecture. The conversation explores how Uplift is designed to work immediately after deployment, including its approach to power, water, sanitation, connectivity, and remote monitoring. Nitschelm also discusses the company's manufacturing ambitions and its potential applications in workforce housing, disaster response, global shipping, ADUs, and affordable housing developments.Episode recorded on September 15, 2026 (Published on September 29, 2026)In this episode, we cover: (0:00) An overview of Uplift(1:38) Charlie's path from SpaceX and Starlink to Uplift(3:57) Learning about homelessness, poverty, and other social challenges(8:22) Why housing needs a fundamentally different architecture(12:00) Why eliminating skilled labor is central to Uplift's design(16:49) Forklift deployment and off-grid utilities(23:33) Starlink, solar power, and building a connected fleet(25:03) Applying car manufacturing principles to housing(28:07) Workforce housing and infrastructure projects(32:16) Why disaster housing can take months to deploy(34:12) Global shipping, ADUs, and affordable housing applications(37:04) “Speed to sleeping” and the economics of temporary housing(39:58) Uplift's manufacturing ramp and the path to HUD approval Enjoyed this episode?

Welcome back to Warehouse and Operations as a Career. I’m Marty and today, I thought we’d talk about three things that we see in just about every warehouse, manufacturing facility, distribution center, and production environment at one time or another.  Horseplay. Drama. And standing around. Now, individually, they may not sound like the biggest workplace problems in the world. Somebody jokes around a little too much. Two people are talking about what somebody else said. A couple of associates are standing at the end of the aisle talking when there isn’t anything happening for a moment. No big deal,  right? Well, maybe it is. Today I don’t want to look at these three things only from the perspective of safety or productivity. I want to talk about what they can do to our reputation, opportunities, and ultimately our career.  Let’s start with horseplay. I’ve spent a lot of years around warehouses and operations, and one thing I’ve learned is that people like to have fun at work. And I believe we should. There’s nothing wrong with laughing and enjoying the people you work with. There’s nothing wrong with having a little personality. We’re going to spend a lot of hours with the people around us, and nobody wants to work someplace where everybody walks around looking miserable. But there’s a difference between having fun and horseplay. Horseplay in a warehouse can turn serious very quickly.  Think about our environment. Forklifts, pallet jacks, conveyors, dock plates, trailers, pallets, racking, knifes, strapping, machinery, heavy products, blind spots. We’re surrounded by things that don’t care whether you were just joking. Push somebody jokingly and they can fall into a piece of equipment. If we throw something across an aisle and someone may instinctively step into traffic. Or sneak up behind somebody and startle them while they’re using a knife or operating equipment. Suddenly, the joke isn’t funny anymore. And the important thing is. When leadership sees you participating in horseplay, they’re not just thinking those guys are having fun. They may be thinking, can I trust this person?   We know that safety and responsibility go together. If you want to become a trainer, lead, supervisor, or manager someday, people need to trust your judgment. And every day we’re building that reputation.  Now let’s talk about something that can spread through a warehouse faster than almost anything else. Workplace drama. Who said what? Who doesn’t like who? Who moved to another department? Who got written up? Who got promoted? Who didn’t get promoted? Why did the supervisor talk to them? Why does she always get that assignment? Why does he get to leave early? Before you know it, five people are involved in something that originally concerned two people. And nobody is talking about today’s production numbers anymore.  Drama is distracting. And distraction in an industrial environment can become a safety problem quick.  But drama also damages teamwork. I’ve watched small misunderstandings become department wide problems simply because everybody wanted to participate in the conversation. Sometimes the smartest thing we can say when somebody brings us workplace gossip is I don’t know anything about that. And then get back to work. We don’t have to attend every argument we’re invited to. That little piece of advice can save you a lot of headaches in your career.  Here’s what leadership notices. They notice the people who calm situations down. And they notice the people who stir situations up. They see the person who says “Hey, let’s get back to what we’re doing.” And they also notice the person walking from department to department making sure everybody knows the newest piece of gossip. Which one do you think they’re considering when they’re looking for their next lead?  And then there’s just standing around. This one can be tricky, because sometimes there really isn’t something happening for a moment. The conveyor may be down, or you’re waiting on product, or a trailer hasn’t backed in yet, or our machine is being adjusted.  There’s a difference between waiting on the operation and developing a habit of standing around. I think, or hope, we’d all agree there’s always something to do in a warehouse. Housekeeping, straightening pallets, cleaning your area, maybe checking equipment or machine, restocking supplies. And of course a couple of my favorites, how about learning another position, helping another associate, or asking your lead what needs to be done next. And here’s a sentence I want everybody to remember. We are being observed even when we don’t realize we’re being observed. Your supervisor may walk by. The facility manager may be on the floor. The customer may be walking through. Even a visiting corporate manager may see us. And they don’t know that you’ve been working hard for the previous three hours. They only know what they see right now. You’re leaning against a pallet talking. Perception becomes reality very quickly.  And standing around doesn’t just affect your reputation. It affects the operation. If ten people waste ten minutes, that’s 100 minutes of labor. That’s more than an hour and a half of paid labor time. Those little periods add up.  Here’s one we’ve all heard or maybe even said. “But everybody else was doing it.” Maybe they were. That doesn’t change the conversation about you. Here’s one of those opinions of mine. One of the biggest lessons we can learn in our careers is to stop measuring our behavior against the lowest standard around us. Instead, ask yourself.  If your goal is simply to get through today’s shift, that’s one thing. But if you want more responsibility, better opportunities, higher pay, leadership positions, or a career, then your standard has to be different.  And this may be the most important part of today’s episode. Let’s say your supervisor walks over and says: “Guys, quit standing around and get back to work.” How do you respond?  Option one. “We weren’t doing anything!” “We’ve only been standing here for a minute!” “What about those guys over there?” “Why are you always saying something to me?” Now we’ve taken a simple coaching moment and turned it into a confrontation.  Option two. “Got it.” And you go back to work.  Which employee do you think is easier to coach? Which employee would you trust with additional responsibility? I understand that none of us enjoy being corrected. I don’t care if you’re 18 years old or 65 years old. Nobody wakes up in the morning hoping somebody points out something they did wrong. But being coachable is a career skill. Your supervisor shouldn’t have to debate with you every time they give you direction.  And here’s something I’ve seen happen throughout my career. Sometimes the original issue wasn’t that serious. Maybe somebody was standing around for a couple minutes. The supervisor says something. Instead of simply correcting the behavior, the employee becomes defensive, argumentative, or disrespectful. Now the problem isn’t standing around anymore. The problem is behavior. A ten-second coaching conversation has turned into something much bigger. Sometimes we’re responsible for escalating our own situation.  I’ve shared many times, I believe any way, that our reputation is being built every shift. Here’s something I wish every new associate was told or understood on their first day. Your reputation isn’t built when a promotion becomes available. It’s built months before the promotion exists. Every shift you’re answering questions people may never ask you directly. Are you dependable? Are you safe? Do you work without somebody constantly watching you? Can you handle correction? Do you bring solutions or problems? Do you stay out of unnecessary drama? Can you work with different personalities? Can you be trusted? That reputation follows us ladies and gentlemen.   Let’s look at this scenario. One day a lead position opens. The manager walks into the office and asks his or her supervisors. “We need another lead on second shift. Who do we have?” And names start being mentioned. That’s when your previous six months start talking for you. Someone might say, “He’s productive, but he’s always involved in drama.” Or, “she’s a good worker, but we’ve had to talk to her several times about horseplay.” Or, “He knows the job, but every time you walk through his area he’s standing around.” I feel we need to remember, Yes, those may sound like little things day to day. But, like in this scenario, they can become big things tomorrow.  So, with all that being said. The message I want to leave you with today is, don’t let little things cost you big opportunities. Horseplay, drama, and standing around. Three things that can seem small. But they can become habits. And they are three things that can keep you from becoming the person management looks at when opportunity knocks.  I’m not saying we have to be perfect. None of us are. You’re going to make mistakes, going to have conversations, and going to joke around. And every once in a while you’re probably going to get called out for something. The important part is what happens next. Can you accept the coaching? Can you correct the behavior? And can you move forward?  Because sometimes career growth isn’t about learning one more piece of equipment or increasing our cases per hour. Sometimes it’s about, lets see, what word am I looking for, lets use maturity. Knowing when to joke and when to work. When to walk away from drama, knowing when to find something productive to do, and knowing how to respond when someone tells us we’re falling short of the expectation.  So tomorrow when you walk through those warehouse doors, ask yourself. What reputation am I building today? Because somebody is noticing. And that little decision we make today may have a lot to do with the opportunity we’re offered tomorrow.  Until next time, stay productive, keep learning, and keep building that career. And above all else, be safe in all that you do.

The Meyer Family Farm grows a lot of hay up on the Rotherham prairie. Kyle Meyer talks about some of the specifics of his operation.

Coach kicks off Week 2 of the 2026 college football season with a lineup of top analysts, breaking down a marquee slate of games as SEC and Big Ten powers collide, the College Football Playoff expansion debate heats up, and conference realignment politics take center stage following the LSU eligibility standoff.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josue Vermes took a winding path—high-end wine, JPMorgan, Amazon apparel at HanesBrands—before landing as the most senior marketer at Carolina Handling, a Raymond forklift dealer expanding into intralogistics. In this episode he makes the case for borrowing B2C discipline without abandoning B2B fundamentals: geotargeted paid media, streaming TV built around football season, a video-first podcast, and a TikTok channel his own leadership questioned. The throughline is counterintuitive: broad, low-intent reach and a genuine brand personality aren't a distraction from pipeline—they're part of the growth strategy when your buyers are younger than you'd expect and educating themselves on channels most manufacturers refuse to touch.

College football's opening week has turned into a legal and competitive free-for-all — and this episode has it all covered. With LSU locked in a roster dispute with its own conference that's spilled into federal court. Coach, Tony Barnhart, and Dennis Dodd break down a power struggle that could reshape who's actually eligible to play. Dodd unpacks why LSU ultimately backed down, what the Texas Tech precedent signals, and why the sport is fast approaching an unavoidable question: what really separates a college athlete from a professional? Barnhart brings the SEC's perspective, while Coach digs into the pressure now facing university presidents, athletic directors, governors, and commissioner Greg Sankey. From there, the crew races through the weekend's biggest storylines — whether Georgia and Texas truly separate themselves in a wide-open SEC, why Ole Miss might deserve more buzz than LSU, the heat on Florida State's Mike Norvell, Arch Manning's debut and Heisman implications, and whether Vanderbilt's Jared Curtis is the next breakout freshman quarterback. They also dive into Miami's early claim as the ACC's team to beat, Colorado's statement road win over Georgia Tech — with notes on Deion Sanders, Juju Lewis, and former Tennessee defensive back Boo Carter — and how Boise State can bolster its playoff case against Oregon even in a loss. We round out the hour with the SEC's transfer-portal-driven landscape, a rundown of first-year coaches at Florida, Auburn, Kentucky, and Arkansas, and the growing question of whether NIL spending is actually translating into wins. Dennis previews the renewed Missouri-Kansas rivalry, Missouri's rise under Eli Drinkwitz, the Big 12's knack for late-game drama, and the Group of Six programs still churning out head-coaching talent. Finally, Charles Davis joins from Eugene with a national lens on Oregon and Boise State, the shifting value of conference titles in the playoff era, and why just reaching the postseason has become the sport's new benchmark — plus his read on Michigan under Kyle Whittingham, Penn State under Matt Campbell, and USC's early defensive progress under Gary Patterson. With the sport evolving faster than its own rulebook, this episode is essential listening for anyone trying to make sense of the personalities and power plays shaping college football in 2026.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our guest on this week's episode is Tucker Perkins, President and CEO of the Propane Education & Reseach Council (PERC). Propane has been used for decades as a consistent source of powering industrial trucks, such as the forklifts and other equipment used in distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, ports, transportation yards, and other places in the logistics world. DC Velocity Group Editorial Director David Maloney talks with our guest about the many uses for propane for powering equipment. They also discuss how propane's dominance as a power source is being challenged by new battery technologies.The consumer economy has been pretty resilient in the face of all the economic ups and downs of the past few years, but a new report shows that consumers are likely to bear the brunt of the supply chain disruptions. This report from London-based researcher BSI surveyed supply chain risk management professionals and found that more than a third of businesses are planning to increase prices to offset costs in the next six months. Senior Editor Victoria Kickham shares the details of the research. We've talked a lot in recent months about how ocean freight is being impacted by geopolitical forces and regional violence, that have forced changes in how containers move around the globe. But now we're seeing disruption from a completely different source, which is the extreme weather. Heat waves in Europe have caused the Rhine and Danube rivers to shallow up, meaning less cargo can be transported on the rivers. A drought in Panama has also lowered the depth of the canal. That means that cargo ships moving through the canal have to carry less so that they do not bottom out. Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC)Supply chain shocks to hit consumersExtreme weather cramps logistics flows in Europe and ChinaVisit DC VelocityVisit Supply Chain XchangeSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comThis podcast episode is sponsored by: Werner

Send us Fan MailNormally we'd all be sitting around the microphones, arguing over games, movies, roleplaying, and whatever other rabbit hole we decide to wander down. But this week... well... life got in the way in the best possible fashion.We went to Gen Con.You know, there are some places that just have an energy all their own. A baseball stadium on Opening Day. Walking into Disney for the first time. Maybe your favorite band's concert before the lights go down.Gen Con has that same feeling.But for many of us our favorite time isn't actually when the convention is packed.It's setup day.You walk through those giant convention center doors and everything is buzzing. Forklifts are backing up. Pallets of games are everywhere. Booths are half-built. Someone is hanging banners thirty feet in the air while somebody else is frantically looking for a roll of duct tape they swore they packed.The halls are busy...But they're not crowded.Not yet.That's the strange part.You've been here before. You know exactly what these halls are going to look like in less than twenty-four hours. Right now you can actually see the floors.Tomorrow...You won't.Tomorrow every aisle will be shoulder to shoulder with gamers, collectors, cosplayers, families, creators, publishers, artists, dice goblins, card sharks, miniature painters, and people carrying bags that somehow weigh more than they do.You know it's coming.And everyone setting up knows it's coming too.That's what makes setup day so fascinating.Every booth tells a story.Somebody spent years making the game sitting on that table.Someone mortgaged vacation time, emptied a savings account, drove across three states, or spent months designing artwork just hoping people will stop, smile, and say..."Tell me about your game."That's where we are this year.Over at the Oddfish Games booth we've got a whole table full of products we're proud of. Adventure Scents. How to RPG With Your Cat. Cooking with Dice. Radiance.And this year...Leviathan Rising.It's Christina Stiso's brand-new roleplaying game, and we've poured an incredible amount of time, creativity, testing, rewriting, and plain old worrying into getting it ready for people to experience.And that's the thing about Gen Con.Hope.Every publisher hopes people stop at their booth.Every game designer hopes someone sits down to play.Every artist hopes somebody notices their work.Every creator wonders..."Did we make something people are going to love?"You don't really know.You can playtest for months.You can have friends tell you it's great.You can polish every page until you're convinced you've found every typo.But none of that answers the only question that really matters.Will complete strangers care?That answer doesn't arrive until Thursday morning.Ten o'clock.The doors open.And then...It happens.Thousands...and I mean thousands...of gamers surge into the exhibit hall.They actually have a nickname for it.The Running of the Nerds.And I say that with absolute affection.It's glorious.People aren't running because they're escaping danger.They're running toward games.Toward their favorite publishers.Toward limited editions.Toward demos they've been waiting all year to play.Toward that one booth they've had circled on their map for six months.It's one of the happiest stampedes you'll ever witness.There's nothing quite like it.Because for four days, Indianapolis becomes the center of the gaming universe.Now, because Gen Con has a funny way of consuming every waking hour we had planned for recording, we didn't have time to put together a traditional episode this week.So instead...I grabbed a couple of microphones.I wandered the convention.I cornered my co-hosts.I talked with friends.I chatted with designers.I may have accidentally eavesdropped on a few conversations that were just too good not to share.What you're about to hear is Gen Con as it really happens.Not polished.Not scripted.Just real people experiencing one of the greatest gaming conventions on Earth.We're going behind the scenes.We're getting first impressions.We're talking to people while the excitement is still fresh.And that's where we're going to begin.Our first guest is someone pretty special to us.He had just finished playing one of the very first public games of Leviathan Rising.The dice had barely stopped rolling.The adrenaline was still there.The story was still unfolding in his mind.Before he had time to overthink anything, we handed him a microphone and simply asked..."So... what did you think?"Here's his immediate reaction, recorded just moments after the game ended.

Coach brings together three of college football's top insiders for a full-scale breakdown of everything shaping the 2026 season. Nationwide analyst Charles Davis opens the show with an on-the-ground report from his West Coast tour of Big Ten fall camps, sharing observations from Oregon, USC, and UCLA on new facility upgrades, practice tempos, and how Oregon's aggressive national recruiting model stacks up against Ohio State's more traditional development approach. Dennis Dodd joins for a hard-hitting look at the NCAA's mounting off-field legal hurdles, Colorado's continued struggles under Deion Sanders, and Ohio State's loaded roster, before the conversation turns to conference realignment and which dark-horse program could be poised for a breakout season. Tony Barnhart then teams up with Dodd to dig deeper into the legal chaos, unpacking the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals' recent stay on NCAA eligibility rules and the messy, immediate fallout it's having on rosters nationwide. The two preview blockbuster non-conference showdowns like Oklahoma-Michigan and Ohio State-Texas, and discuss the growing pressure on elite head coaches to win now in the expanded playoff era. Barnhart also looks ahead at the season's biggest opening matchups, breaking down the expanding Week 0 international slate — including TCU's game in Ireland — and Clemson's high-stakes trip to LSU in Baton Rouge. The episode closes with a look at the mounting pressure on Dabo Swinney and what the return of offensive coordinator Chad Morris could mean for a Clemson bounce-back campaign.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the latest edition of the NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn and Safe Citizen Founder Jonathan Deal take a deep dive into the latest testimony at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry after 159 days of testimony. “I think that we could say that this week the Madlanga Commission stopped being about one scandal and started looking like a stress test of the entire institution of the South African Police Services… because we have five threats all moving at once: Credibility collapse for the woman who ran IDAC, a classified report that moved through the system with nobody able to say under what authority, an EFF leader the commission still has not called, a shooting victim the public doesn't fully believe was shot, and two witnesses - one sealed and one postponed still to come.” Deal also outlines why Special Leave Police Minister Senzo Mchunu can now be safely referred to as former Police Minister: “...this stuff sounds like it's out of a spy novel, quite frankly…. the Inspector General of Intelligence is refusing to hand over a report on an open investigation. All of a sudden, the report is in the hands of the Minister of Police and that gets flown - literally like we see on the movies with spies moving documents around - to the Eastern Cape…and forwarded on WhatsApp…Absolutely mind boggling.”

Today let's talk about something I’ve been asked many times over the years. “Why warehousing?” Or “Why transportation?” Or “Why the supply chain?”  After unloading trailers, pulling orders, operating forklifts, supervising teams, managing operations, and on to the executive team, I’ve been asked that question hundreds of times. People usually expect me to answer with one of the obvious reasons. That there’s good money, great benefits, opportunities for overtime, or the Job security and Promotion opportunities, and how the works stable, sometimes even considered essential. And those are all true, and they’re all important. But if I had to narrow everything down to just one reason? Just one thing that makes this industry different than almost every other career?  Well, I'd have to go with how this industry rewards the person you’re willing to become. Not who you are today or where you came from. Not what grades you made or where you went to school or who your parents were. This industry has always rewarded effort. It rewards people that keep showing up and that continue learning. It rewards people that become more valuable every year. And to me anyway, that’s something incredibly special.  When someone asks me what they should do with their career, I often tell them that warehousing isn’t just about moving boxes and transportation isn’t just about trucks and how the supply chain isn’t just about inventory. It’s about solving problems. It’s about making businesses successful and it’s about making sure families receive what they need. Every package is delivered. Every grocery shelf is stocked. Every hospital was supplied. Every manufacturing plant receives their raw materials. Every online order arrives on someone’s porch. All of that happens because thousands of us workers choose to become professionals. One of the things I love about this industry is that there are very few ceilings. As I've said many times, you can literally start today sweeping floors and next year you might be operating equipment. A year later you’re training others and soon you’re a lead. Then a supervisor. Maybe an inventory analyst. Perhaps a dispatcher or transportation coordinator or a safety professional. Even an operations manager, director, or Vice President. I’ve watched people make that journey. I’ve had the pleasure of hiring several of them and the honor of promoting many of them. Not because they had the fanciest résumé. But because they earned the opportunity.  First off, our industry notices consistency. I know I sound like a broken record sometimes. I keep repeating these things because they are that important and just that simple. Showing up everyday matters. Being dependable and taking ownership matters. If your supervisor never has to wonder whether you’ll be at work, if they know you’ll do quality work and they know you’ll help solve problems instead of creating them, you’ve already separated yourself from many others. Consistency becomes your resume.  Then comes learning. Every new skill increases your value. Learn a second department. Learn receiving, Shipping, Inventory Control, Quality Assurance, Cycle counting, Forklift operation, the Reach truck. What else, here's a few of my go too's, the order picker. Yard management. Transportation planning. Warehouse Management Systems. Excel. Everyone should feel comfortable working with Microsoft word and excel. And Leadership. Communication, and of course Safety. Every skill is another tool in your toolbox. And no bad manager or company can take those skills away from you. Even if you change employers, those skills travel with you.  One lesson I’ve learned throughout my own career, and try to share with every new boot I meet, is that companies don’t simply promote experience. They promote confidence and our confidence comes from preparation. I think being prepared comes from learning everything we can. The more you understand the operation, the more valuable you become. Eventually people begin asking for your opinion and that’s when your career really starts to grow.  Another reason I love this industry is because every day is different. No two days are exactly alike. One morning you may have weather delays, all your trucks and loads are running late. On another day we'll have equipment issues. A customer changes an order. A shipment arrives early. A truck breaks down. The inventory doesn’t match. The team is short-handed. Problems appear every single day!  Some people see stress. I've always tried to see opportunities.  Seriously, every problem solved teaches you something. Every challenge develops another leadership skill, and every difficult day prepares you for greater responsibility. Young people often ask me how to become successful, and my answer seems to surprise them. Just Become the person people trust. Trust opens doors. Trust gets assignments and earns promotions. Trust creates opportunities. Trust is built one decision at a time. A decision from us. Being on time. Following through. Owning mistakes. Helping our teammates. Doing the right thing when nobody’s watching. Those habits are noticed.  I also appreciate something else about our profession. You don’t have to wait for someone to allow you to grow. Growth is largely in your control. Read books. Watch training videos, there’s thousands on YouTube. Volunteer for projects. Crosstrain. Ask questions. Observe great leaders. Practice communication. Improve your safety knowledge. Become certified. Nobody can stop you from investing in yourself. The people who grow the fastest are usually the ones who never stop learning.  I’ve met warehouse associates making six figures. transportation professionals earning incredible incomes. Supply chain analysts traveling the country. Operations leaders running million-square-foot distribution centers. Safety professionals influencing thousands of employees. Corporate trainers teaching nationwide. None of them started there. Most started exactly where someone listening today may be standing. The difference wasn’t luck. It was growth.  You know, one of my favorite moments is watching someone realize they have more potential than they ever imagined. Maybe it’s the forklift operator who becomes a trainer. The selector who becomes a supervisor. The receptionist who becomes a recruiter. The dispatcher who becomes a transportation manager. And I could go on and on.  I’ve watched those transformations happen over and over again.  The warehouse is an incredible classroom. It teaches discipline, Communication, Teamwork, Safety, Accountability, Time management, Customer service, Leadership, Conflict resolution, Problem solving. And These aren’t just warehouse skills. They’re life skills. Skills that help in every profession and every stage of life.  People sometimes say they don’t want to work in a warehouse forever. I understand that. But don’t overlook what the warehouse can do for you. It can build confidence. Teach responsibility. Develop leadership. Provide financial stability. Introduce lifelong mentors. Open doors you never knew existed. The warehouse may not be your final destination. But it can absolutely become the foundation of an incredible career.  As I look back over my own career, I don’t remember every shipment. I don’t remember every inventory count. I don’t remember every dock schedule. What I remember are the people. The mentors who challenged me. The associates who inspired me. The supervisors who believed in me. The teams that accomplished incredible things together. That’s another gift this industry gives us. Relationships. And those relationships often last an entire lifetime.  So, if someone asked me today, Marty, what’s the one thing that makes this industry so great? My answer would be simple. Because this industry rewards the person you’re willing to become. It rewards effort. It rewards learning. It rewards reliability. It rewards character. It rewards ownership. It rewards growth. And the beautiful part is, every one of us gets to decide who we’re becoming tomorrow.  Ok, I've got to get back to work myself now. But I wanted to add that if you’re just beginning your career in warehousing, manufacturing, transportation, or supply chain, don’t focus only on the next paycheck. Focus on becoming the person everyone wants on their team. The promotions will come. The opportunities will come. The raises will come. The career will come. It's my opinion or my belief, in this industry, your greatest value isn’t the equipment you operate or the building or department you work in. It’s the person you choose to become.    I'm Marty T Hawkins and I want to thank you for checking in on Warehouse and Operations as a Career today. Until next time, be safe, keep learning, help someone else grow, and never stop investing in yourself.

Our guest on this week's episode is Jo Marini, CEO of Mothership Materials. Many companies have struggled with how to produce products that are well-made and also friendly to our environment. That is where a company like Mothership Materials comes in. This company takes agricultural waste and turns it into fibers and materials for manufacturing new products. Susan Lacefield of Supply Chain Xchange and DC Velocity talks to Jo Marini, the founder and CEO of Mothership Materials, about her transformative company. Here is their conversation.Senior Editor Victoria Kickham reports that business activity in logistics slowed in July, driven by a variety of factors, according to the latest Logistics Managers' Index report. The index fell to 68.9; that's down from June's reading of 71.1, which was the LMI's fastest rate of expansion in about four years. The cooling we saw in July reflects an inventory pullback among retailers who had stocked up in May and June due to tariff uncertainty and the impending expiration of temporary tariffs at the end of the month. Essentially, companies built up inventory earlier in the cycle to prepare for the coming holiday peak season.Senior News Editor Ben Ames was on the road this week for the grand opening of Toyota Material Handling North America's new forklift manufacturing facility. This new factory is in Columbus, Indiana and is almost 300,000 square feet in size. Following a ramp up through September, the new factory will produce 24 lift trucks per day. It will manufacture only electric powered forklifts, specifically a standup counterbalanced forklift. Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:Mothership MaterialsLMI Report: The logistics industry growth slowed in JulyToyota opens new forklift plant in IndianaVisit DC VelocityVisit Supply Chain XchangeSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.com

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Warehouse and Operations as a Career. I’m Marty, and as always, thank you for spending a little time with us today. You know, it’s funny how some of the most important jobs in our industry happen in the smallest places. Think about the size of a distribution center. Maybe it’s 300,000 square feet or maybe it’s a million square feet. Hundreds of employees. Thousands of pallets. Forklifts buzzing around in all directions. Trucks backing into dock doors all day long. Now picture the smallest building on that property. It’s probably no bigger than a backyard storage shed. Maybe a desk, a computer, a couple of monitors, a radio, and a coffee pot that has seen better days. That’s the guard shack. Most of us have driven past one. Every truck driver has stopped at one. Most employees wave as they drive through the gate each morning. Yet very few people realize just how much responsibility sits inside that little building. Today, I want to talk about the guard shack, not the building itself, but the people inside it. Because in many ways, that’s where every shipment, every visitor, and every workday truly begins. When someone says they work in a guard shack, people often picture someone raising and lowering a gate all day. They imagine a quiet job where you’re simply checking people in and out. Nothing could be further from the truth. A guard shack attendant wears several hats. They’re part security officer, part customer service representative, part traffic coordinator, part documentation specialist, and often the communication link between transportation, receiving, shipping, and operations. Every truck that enters the property starts with a conversation. Good morning. Company name? Load number please?” Appointment time?” Driver’s license, please.” “Bill of Lading?” “Trailer number?” “Seal number?” Those questions may sound routine, but every answer matters. One incorrect trailer number could send the wrong freight to the wrong dock. One incorrect seal number could indicate a security issue. One missed appointment could throw off an entire day’s receiving schedule. The guard isn’t just asking questions, they’re protecting the operation. One responsibility that has become incredibly important over the last twenty-five years is trailer seal verification. If you’ve never paid attention to that little plastic or steel seal hanging on the back of a trailer, you may not realize how important it really is. That seal represents accountability. When a trailer is loaded, a numbered seal is placed on the doors. That unique number is documented on the shipping paperwork. When the trailer arrives at the distribution center, the very first person to compare that number with the paperwork is often the guard shack attendant. If the numbers don’t match, everything stops. Not because anyone is trying to make life difficult for the driver, but because the integrity of that shipment has been compromised. Sometimes it’s nothing more than a paperwork mistake or the wrong trailer showed up, or maybe someone accidentally recorded the wrong seal number. But it could indicate unauthorized access to that trailer. Finding that discrepancy before the trailer ever enters the yard protects the customer, the carrier, and our facility. That’s a tremendous responsibility for someone sitting in a small building at the front gate. The guard shack is also the first impression your company makes. Think about the truck driver arriving after driving six or seven hundred miles. They’ve fought traffic, weather, road construction, and tight delivery schedules. Maybe they’ve been away from home for several days. The very first employee they meet is usually the guard. A smile. A professional greeting. Clear directions. Respect. Those few moments set the tone for the entire visit. And Drivers remember facilities that treat them well. They also remember facilities where they were ignored, treated rudely, or left wondering what to do next. The guard isn’t simply controlling traffic, they’re representing the company’s culture. I like to think of the guard shack as communication central or the command center! A busy distribution center might have fifty, seventy-five, or even a hundred trailers arriving throughout the day. The guard isn’t making those trucks disappear. They’re communicating constantly. They may be speaking with inbound dispatch. “Hey, the Driver for ABC Trucking has arrived. And the Inbound dispatcher or Receiving might respond, “Send him to Door 18.” The guard relays the information and the driver moves safely to the assigned dock. Simple enough, right? But now multiply that by one hundred trucks. And add in the yard jockeys moving those transfer and local trailers or our backhauls around. Maybe Fuel deliveries. Contractors. Visitors. Maintenance vendors. Employee deliveries. Food service vendors. Emergency responders. Suddenly that little guard shack becomes one of the busiest communication centers on the property. It’s almost like being an air traffic controller, except instead of airplanes, you’re directing trucks, trailers, and people safely around a busy warehouse yard. Remember 2001. For many people, September 11 changed air travel forever. For our industry, it changed supply chain security. Distribution centers across North America began strengthening gate procedures. Visitor logs became more detailed. Identification requirements increased. Trailer seals became more important. Photography restrictions became common place. Access to warehouse property became much more controlled. Many government programs encouraged companies to secure every step of the supply chain, beginning at the front gate. Almost overnight, the guard shack evolved from a simple check-in station into the first line of defense protecting products, customers, and employees. Today, millions of dollars in inventory pass through those gates every single day. The guard shack helps ensure those products arrive safely, leave correctly, and remain secure while they’re on the property. One thing I’ve always admired is how experienced guards develop some amazing long term relationships. They begin recognizing drivers by name. Remember how we mentioned their the first contact? Things like “Morning, Nelson. Back with another produce load?” or “Good to see you again, Cindy.” And “Hey John, Door 22 is ready for you.” Those conversations may only last thirty seconds, but they build trust. The driver knows they’re welcome. And the guard knows who belongs on the property. And when something doesn’t seem right, experienced guards notice it immediately. That’s professionalism developed through experience. If you’re looking for a career in warehousing or transportation, don’t overlook the guard shack. You’ll learn shipping paperwork. Transportation terminology. Appointment scheduling. Trailer identification and develop some great communication skills. And we'll learn a lot about customer service, problem solving, computer systems, and radio communication. You’ll work with dispatchers, warehouse supervisors, transportation managers, and security personnel every day. I know many transportation coordinators, dispatchers, and operations supervisors that began their careers in positions just like this. I've learned to never let the size of the building fool you. Some of the biggest careers begin in the smallest offices. As we wrap up today’s episode, I’d like you to think about something. Tomorrow morning, when you drive into work, take a second look at that guard shack. Think about every truck that will arrive today. Every visitor, contractor, and vendor that will sign in. And how many trailer seals that’ll be verified and the number of loads that’s documented and how many questions there are to be answered and how many potential problem that’s caught before they reach the dock. Smile at your guard as you drive through, maybe even bring him or her a donut and thank them for what they do. Our forklifts may move the freight. The warehouse may process the orders. The transportation department may deliver the products. But before any of that happens, someone in that little guard shack quietly makes sure the day starts the right way. It may be the smallest building on the property, but it protects one of the biggest operations. Until next time, remember that every position in warehousing, manufacturing, distribution, and transportation has value. Learn something new every day, respect every role you encounter, and never stop building your career one opportunity at a time. Y'all be safe out there, someone is waiting on, and depending on us after our shift.

Hi All, Marty here with Warehouse and Operations as a Career. I started off this week hearing a peer’s name I hadn’t heard in probably 12 to 15 years. A colleague was on his way to a meeting with a a prospective client and shared who he was meeting with. It was a gentlemen we'd both worked with in the past. I was reminded how many times this happens every year. It’s something we all, no matter the industry, need to keep in mind! You start at one warehouse in your teens and twenties. A few years later you move across town. Five years after that you accept another opportunity. Then one day you walk into a customer’s warehouse and there’s your old supervisor. Or how about the forklift driver unloading your trailer? You worked beside him fifteen years ago. Or the operations manager? She used to be a shift lead when you were loading trucks together. And this is always an interesting one, the recruiter interviewing you? You remember when she worked in receiving. And the truck driver making your delivery? He used to work maintenance at your last facility. It’s funny how that happens. But it does. Our industry feels huge. Millions of square feet. Thousands of warehouses. Hundreds of trucking companies and countless manufacturers. But once you’ve been around a while, well, it’s actually a very small neighborhood. People don’t disappear, they simply change addresses.  One of the greatest pieces of career advice I can give anyone entering warehousing, manufacturing, production, or transportation is to never burn a bridge. And not because it’s the “nice” thing to do. But because it’s one of the smartest career decisions you’ll ever make.  I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked in this industry for a long while. I’ve unloaded trucks, selected orders, operated every forklift and attachment, and worked all the utility positions. I’ve supervised some awesome crews and managed a few outstanding operations. I’ve worked beside some incredible people. And today I still run into people from every stage of my career. Former supervisors. Former employees. Customers. Drivers. Safety managers. HR managers. Recruiters. Forklift operators. Maintenance technicians. General managers and Vice presidents. Some I haven’t seen in twenty years. Yet somehow our paths cross again. And when they do they remember. They remember your attitude. They remember your work ethic. And they remember whether you helped people or hurt people. They remember whether you were dependable and whether you accepted responsibility. Most importantly, they remember how you left. And that’s the part I see many young professionals overlook. People remember endings.  We've all had or watched an employee having a bad day. They got frustrated. Started yelling. Cursed their supervisor. Threw down their badge and stormed out the door, maybe even slamming doors. Almost like they wanted to make sure everyone watched. In that moment they probably felt powerful. Maybe even justified. But what they didn’t realize is how that three minute emotional decision could follow them for years.  And here’s just a few reasons why I believe we should reconsider that pathway. Your supervisor may leave six months later. The HR manager might accept another position. The operations manager is promoted. The plant manager or GM moves across town. The recruiter joins another staffing company. Suddenly, the people who watched that exit are interviewing candidates somewhere else. Want to guess whose name they recognize? Here's a quick scenario.  Hey “We interviewed someone today.” “Oh really? What’s his name?” “Johnny so and so.” “I remember Johnny.” Sometimes that’s followed by, he's a “Great worker.” “Always dependable.” “He’d be an asset.” Other times. Woah, “be careful there.” He can have a bit of a “bad attitude.” “he walked off the job once.” “Couldn’t control his temper.” That one conversation. Just thirty seconds can influence your next opportunity.  Now of course, leaving a company is certainly okay. People leave their jobs every day. Sometimes it’s for better pay, better hours, more opportunity, family reasons, health, education, or maybe career growth. There is absolutely nothing wrong with moving on. But there is a huge difference between leaving professionally and leaving emotionally. Professional employees give notice when possible. They thank people and finish strong. Even train someone else if needed. Shake hands and wish everyone well. They leave the same way they hope to be remembered.  Here’s something many of us don't consider. Your reputation isn’t built only by your performance. It’s built by your character. Anyone can have a good week and can perform well when everything is going right. Character stands out when things aren’t. When you’re disappointed. Passed over for a promotion. Corrected by your supervisor. Upset over your schedule, and frustrated with overtime. That’s when people discover who you really are.  I’ve had employees come into my office completely upset. And sometimes they deserved to be upset and I've agreed with them. But after talking they left respectfully. And months later they received promotions. How you may ask.  Because they handled difficult conversations like professionals. On the other hand, I’ve also watched employees lose tremendous opportunities because they couldn’t manage one emotional moment. One outburst, social media post or text message or one argument. A bridge burned.  Wither right or wrong, today’s world makes all that even more dangerous. People stay connected. You have LinkedIn. Facebook. Instagram. Industry and management groups. People know people. Your reputation can travel across an entire city before you even submit your next application!  Oh, and I want to say this too. Every person deserves respect. Not because of their title but because you never know where life will take them. That warehouse clerk? Could be tomorrow’s operations manager. The young recruiter? My be a future regional vice president. Our friend the forklift trainer? Down the road we may find them as our future safety director. I'm just saying we should treat everyone with respect. Always.  One of my more recent favorite sayings is, today’s coworker may become tomorrow’s boss, or tomorrow’s customer. I’ve lived that more times than I can count. I’ve purchased services from former employees. I’ve hired my former supervisors, and I’ve partnered with people I once trained. I’ve worked for people who once worked beside me. That’s our industry ladies and gentlemen. Careers and opportunities intertwine.  So what do you do if you’re unhappy? Yep, here I go again with that word communication. Have the conversation. Ask questions. Seek solutions and be honest and be respectful. If it’s time to move on, move on with dignity and grace. Give your best effort until the very last shift. Thank those who invested in you. Leave the facility better than you found it. Return all your equipment. Shake hands and wish everyone success. Because someday you may walk back through those same doors, or someone from those doors may walk through yours.  Here's my thought, or yes, my opinion on the subject. Don’t just avoid burning bridges. Lets always be building them. Stay connected with mentors. Congratulate former coworkers on promotions. Celebrate their accomplishments. Send a quick message once in a while. Thank someone who helped your career. Give a shout out to or recommend good people when opportunities arise.  At the end of the day your résumé gets you noticed. Your skills get you hired and your attitude helps you succeed. But your reputation, well, your reputation follows you everywhere. In warehousing, manufacturing, transportation, distribution, and production, people remember.  So work hard and lets treat people well. Leave every job with them wanting you to stay. Because you never know when today’s goodbye will become tomorrow’s opportunity.  Ok, its time to say thank you for spending a few minutes with me today! If you’re just starting your journey, remember that this industry is much smaller than it appears. Protect your name and your reputation at all times. And never burn the bridge you may someday need to cross again. Until next time, keep learning, keep growing and above all, work safe at all times!

Welcome to another episode of Forklift Systems Football Saturday Coach is joined by college football insiders Jimmy Hyams and Dennis Dodd to break down the sport's rapidly shifting landscape, evaluating everything from conference power dynamics to the complexities of NIL and revenue sharing. Referencing an OpenDorse report, the panel unpacks how financial shifts are rewriting roster-building strategies alongside their predictions for the expanded playoffs. Hyams identifies Georgia as the clear SEC favorite and forecasts a four-loss regression for Alabama, while Dodd highlights Oregon’s elite defense, Notre Dame’s highly favorable schedule, and Utah’s potential to dominate the wide-open Big 12. Furthermore, Dodd praises Missouri’s overachieving program and their massive $250 million stadium renovation as a prime example of how mid-tier teams are investing heavily to keep pace with the elite. Shifting to off-field developments, the discussion examines the NCAA's recent implementation of "low-hanging fruit" policies aimed at stabilizing a chaotic system. These calculated steps include a one-time transfer portal window, a six-week coaching dead period, and a "five-for-five" eligibility rule that effectively eliminates traditional redshirting. While major structural challenges—like capping player pools and enforcing anti-tampering rules—remain unresolved, these changes signal that the NCAA is actively recognizing its systemic issues. The Ultimate Takeaway: Despite unprecedented changes to revenue sharing, playoff expansion, and massive infrastructural investments by rising programs, the path to a national championship still dictates that these teams must consistently defeat established blue-blood powerhouses on the field.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to another episode of Forklift Systems Football Saturday.
