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.”

In an attempt to save the world, a man recycles himself. And when you steal a forklift, you'd better have a good reason. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

No excuses.Here are a few tips to assist you with Forklift & Powered Industrial Truck (PIT) Safety:Start every shift with a real inspection. Check tires, forks, hydraulics, horn, brakes, and lights. Look for leaks or cracks. If something feels off, it probably is. Tag it and report it. Paperwork matters because it tracks patterns and prevents repeat issues.Understand the stability triangle. Picture a triangle under your truck. The center of gravity must stay inside it. Raise the load or turn too fast, and that center shifts. Tip-over risk spikes. Keep loads low. Move slowly on turns. Respect the physics.Watch your load position. Tilt back when carrying. Keep forks low when traveling. High loads block your view and raise your center of gravity. That's how trucks roll. Simple adjustments make a big difference.Seatbelt on. Every time. No exceptions. Tip-overs happen in seconds. The belt keeps you inside the protective zone. Jumping feels natural in panic.

Our guest on this week's episode is Jim Mozer, Senior Vice President at Crown Equipment Corporation. He is representing the Industrial Truck Association, the industry association for the lift truck industry. This coming Tuesday, the supply chain industry hosts National Forklift Safety Day. Now in its 13th year, this day is set aside annually to remind us of the importance of safe practices when working on and around forklifts. National Forklift Safety Day is sponsored by the Industrial Truck Association. Our guest and DC Velocity Group Editorial Director David Maloney discuss what will take place at Tuesday's National Forklift Safety Day event in Washington, D.C.The logistics sector has seen a tremendous impact in recent years from venture capital and other investment firms, through mergers and acquisitions, taking private companies public on the stock market, and other strategies. This week Senior News Editor Ben Ames wrote a story about more big money making changes in the industry, but it wasn't in a sexy area like robotics or drones, it was in good old fashioned warehouses.Earlier this week, German logistics giant DHL Group announced the launch of its DHL Academy of Humanitarian Logistics (DAHL). Senior Editor Victoria Kickham reports on this global training initiative designed to give humanitarian organizations and local responders practical logistics knowledge and skills—ultimately allowing them to better prepare for and respond to crises.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:Industrial Truck Association (ITA)BKM and Kayne Anderson acquire $1.81 billion of industrial real estateDHL Group launches DHL Academy of Humanitarian LogisticsVisit DC VelocityVisit Supply Chain XchangeSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comThis podcast episode is sponsored by: ID Label

On this episode of Forklift Systems Football Saturday , Coach dives deep into the major takeaways from the recent SEC and Big Ten Spring Meetings. Joined by "Mr. College Football" Tony Barnhart, the two unpack the ongoing debate between SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey and Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti regarding the potential expansion of the College Football Playoff from 12 to 24 teams, as well as the push for more conference self-governance. In the second hour, college football experts Dennis Dodd and Charles Davis jump in to analyze the sweeping implications of the bipartisan Cruz-Cantwell bill—also known as the Protect College Sports Act—which attempts to address NIL, antitrust exemptions, transfer rules, and the looming reality of athlete employment.

Our guest on this week's episode is Matt Lekstutis, director at Efficio, a supply chain and consulting firm. Two weeks ago, President Trump had an historic meeting with China's President Xi. It was a highly anticipated gathering, as there was a lot to talk about, including the war against Iran and the ongoing oil constraints. Our guest this week talks with DC Velocity Group Editorial Director David Maloney to unwrap what took place and to discuss international trade and world-wide threats to our supply chains. Senior Editor Victoria Kickham reports that buyers of forklifts and pallet-handling equipment are upbeat in 2026, with many expecting to increase capital expenditures on those items this year as compared to last year. This information is based on a recent Voice of Market report from London-based research firm Interact Analysis. The researchers surveyed decision-makers involved in the use, selection, and purchase of automation technologies for their facilities globally.We've been writing for years about autonomous vehicles, first with AGVs and AMRs in warehouses, there are self-driving forklifts, outdoor delivery robots on sidewalks, increasingly self-driving cars, a small but growing number of self-driving trucks, and some flying drones both indoors and out. But a story that caught the eye of Senior News Editor Ben Ames this week was about autonomous commercial ships.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:OfficioReport: Market sentiment for forklift and pallet handling tech improvesIMO launches safety code to regulate autonomous shipsVisit DC VelocityVisit Supply Chain XchangeSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comThis podcast episode is sponsored by: ID Label

Coach welcomes NFL game analyst Charles Davis to unpack the legal and collegiate fallout surrounding Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby and his recent gambling allegations. The duo juxtaposes the modern era of college sports—where universities and networks profit directly from gambling partnerships—against the strict bans historically placed on student-athletes. They map out Sorsby's expected legal defense strategy, which could heavily leverage the NCAA's own gambling revenue ties and a focus on mental health, while tackling the immense challenges this poses for administrators, potential court-ordered injunctions, and the way high-value NIL contracts are disrupting mid-contract transfers. The gridiron breakdown continues as college football writer Dennis Dodd joins the show to evaluate the bounce-back potential of former national championship programs. Coach and Dodd dive deep into the current trajectories of Lincoln Riley’s USC, Mike Norvell’s Florida State, and Dabo Swinney’s Clemson, weighing each program's unique recruiting triumphs and critical turn-around pressures. The conversation shifts into a rapid-fire analysis of the latest high-profile coaching carousel moves, assessing Matt Campbell’s transition to Penn State, James Franklin’s arrival at Virginia Tech, and Kyle Whittingham taking the reins at Michigan, alongside a snapshot of recent developments reshaping the Big 12. Dennis Dodd and Tony Barnhart team up with Coach on Football Saturday, opening with a reflection on Memorial Day weekend before shifting focus to the highly consequential SEC spring meetings in Destin. The panel breaks down whether these meetings will rival the historic 1991 expansion in long-term impact, especially if they chart a course toward a 24-team playoff system. Highlighting key insights on influential figures like Georgia President Jerry Morehead and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, they examine Morehead's comments on SEC self-governance and potential breakaway from the NCAA. The episode closes with a breakdown of Sankey's methodical data-driven approach to a nine-game conference schedule, a look at Coach Ed Orgeron’s rumored return to the LSU sidelines, and breaking news regarding an active NCAA tampering investigation into Ole Miss stemming from a complaint by Clemson's Dabo Swinney against Pete Golding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The show kicks off with a deep dive into contrasting transfer portal philosophies—pitting Oklahoma State’s massive 80-plus player roster overhaul against Georgia’s selective, high-school-first approach—before Dodd breaks down a pending bipartisan congressional bill that could introduce strict federal oversight and a hard spending cap on athletic rosters. Coach explores how unprecedented financial investments have turned modern athletic facilities into self-contained living spaces to maximize player retention, while also addressing the normalization of coaches using non-traditional media platforms and the urgent need for comprehensive gambling education amid recent player controversies. After lamenting the loss of historic intra-conference rivalries and analyzing how all 16 SEC programs are strategically utilizing the transfer portal, the discussion shifts to a fascinating wave of high-profile coaching resets. The guys analyze Matt Campbell taking the reins at Penn State to replace James Franklin, the unique mechanics behind Michigan landing Kyle Whittingham from Utah, Alex Golesh’s explosive offensive fit at Auburn, and John Sumrall’s high-ceiling jump from Tulane to Florida. Finally, the segment wraps up with a sharp critique of the newly expanded 76-team NCAA men's basketball tournament and a definitive ranking of three powerhouse programs looking to bounce back under current leadership, detailing USC’s physical improvements in the trenches, Dabo Swinney finally embracing NIL and the portal at Clemson, and lingering skepticism surrounding Mike Norvell's Florida State squad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to Warehouse and Operations as a Career. I'm Marty and I've received a couple of different questions about forklift attachments over the last couple of months, so I thought we'd find a few answers for them. So today let's talk about a few different tools we can see in warehousing, manufacturing, food distribution, and the paper, beverage, chemical, recycling, and even import/export operations. We are talking about the clamp, the barrel clamp, the roll clamp, and the slip sheet or push-pull attachment. I think it's important to state that a forklift by itself is already a powerful piece of equipment. Add an attachment to it, and we have changed the whole game. We have changed what that forklift can do, the way the load moves, and the operator's responsibilities. And we have changed the risks. Some facilities love attachments, while other facilities discourage their use or only allow a very small group of trained operators to use them. They can certainly, in the right environments, increase productivity, however, in the wrong environment you'll find it's easy to damage product, slow down the productivity, and even present safety concerns as well. Forklift attachments came about because freight does not always come to us on a perfect 48 by 40 pallet. Warehousing, Manufacturing and Shipping had to evolve. Companies wanted to move more product, reduce damage, save money, use less packaging, and handle odd-shaped freight more efficiently. Companies have been building forklift attachments for decades, tracing their beginnings back to the late 1940's as a way to let a conventional lift truck push, pull, clamp, lift, and rotate different types of loads for a host of reasons. They were created to solve problems. A clamp attachment allows us to handle loads without forks going under a pallet. You may see carton clamps in appliance warehouses, paper goods, electronics, wine, packaged food, chemicals, and plastics. Think about big boxes of paper towels, refrigerators, washers, dryers, or cartons that are stacked and shipped without pallets. The clamp applies pressure from both sides and allows the operator to lift and move the product. My first experience with a clamp was unloading, stacking and storing washers and dryers. A unique experience to say the least. A paper roll clamp is common in paper mills, printing operations, and packaging plants. These clamps are made to handle large rolls of paper without damaging them. That takes skill. Too much pressure can crush or deform the roll. Too little pressure and the roll can slip. That operator has to understand the equipment, the product, the weight, the diameter, and the clamp pressure. One of my accounts used these, although I've never picked up one of those big, heavy rolls, I enjoyed watching them. The skill and focus were mesmerizing to me! A barrel clamp or drum clamp is used where drums, barrels, or round containers are moved. You may see these in chemical operations, food ingredient facilities, beverage plants, oil and lubricant operations, recycling, waste handling, and manufacturing. The goal is simple, safely grab and move a round container that does not sit on our forks the same way a pallet does. This is an amazing tool. Then we have the slip sheet attachment, often called a push-pull attachment. This one is interesting. This is a pretty common tool in distribution and storage environments. A lot of times product will be shipped on slip sheats. Instead of using a wooden pallet, the product sits on a thin sheet, often cardboard, fiberboard or plastic. The attachment grips the lip of that sheet, pulls the load onto wide platens, and then pushes it off at the destination. Manufacturers describe slip sheet handling as a way to ship, receive, and warehouse on inexpensive slip sheets rather than pallets, especially for bagged products, canned products and bottled items. I've seen all kinds of product shipped on slip sheets. So, why would a company use the slip sheet or push pull? Money, space, weight, sanitation, less pallet cost, less room needed for pallet storage, and overall, less wood in the facility. In some operations, especially export, grocery, beverage, and manufacturing, slip sheets can make sense. But, and this is an important point. Just because an attachment can do something does not mean every operator should be using it. Our training makes it clear that attachments change the forklift. The capacity, its operation, and maintenance plates or decals must be changed when a forklift is equipped with an attachment, and an unloaded forklift with an attachment must be treated as partially loaded. And we need to remember that modifications or additions affecting capacity or safe operation require prior written approval from the forklift manufacturer. That is a big deal. When we hang a clamp, push-pull, rotator, or barrel clamp on the front of a forklift, we are adding weight. We are changing the load center. We are changing visibility. We may be changing the way the forklift turns, stops, tilts, and reacts. And we are definitely changing the responsibility of the operator. A standard forklift operator already needs to know their data plate, load capacity, load center, travel speed, dock safety programs, pedestrians, horn use, ramps, trailers, and stability triangle. Add an attachment, and now that operator also needs to know clamp pressure, product damage points, hydraulic functions, attachment inspections, load shape, grip points, and how that attachment affects the capacity. Ok, the question of pay comes up. Having these experiences may bring more pay to the table. Not always, but it can. In many operations, an operator who can run a sit-down forklift is valuable. An operator who can run a sit-down forklift with a clamp, a slip sheet attachment, a roll clamp, or a drum clamp may be even more valuable. Why? Because fewer people can do it well. It requires more training, more patience, and more judgment. But more pay should also mean more accountability. We cannot say, I want the extra wages, but then not accept the extra responsibility. Attachments are specialty tools. Specialty tools require specialty habits. Let's talk about some of the dangers. With a carton clamp, the big risks are product damage, dropped loads, crushing, poor visibility, and over-clamping. If the operator clamps too hard, they can crush the freight. If they do not clamp hard enough, the load can slide out. If the load is not square, stable, or properly positioned, it can shift during travel. With a paper roll clamp, the risks include roll damage, dropped rolls, unstable travel, and poor positioning. A paper roll can be heavy, round, and unforgiving. Once it starts moving, it can keep moving. That means the operator must think ahead. With a barrel or drum clamp, we add the risk of round containers, liquid movement, chemical exposure, spills, and environmental concerns. A dropped drum is not just damaged freight. It may be a hazmat situation. It may become a slip hazard. It may require evacuation, cleanup, reporting, and investigation. With a slip sheet attachment, the danger is often in the technique. Push-pull work is not the same as sliding forks under a pallet. The operator has to grab the lip of the sheet, pull the load correctly, keep the product stable, and push it off without tipping, tearing, or shifting the load. Industry sources note that push-pull attachments require specific training, as do all attachments, and can reduce forklift capacity because of the attachment weight, and add complexity compared with normal pallet handling.  And that is why some companies discourage their use. It may not be because the attachment is a bad thing. It may be because the facility does not have enough properly trained operators or maybe because the product damage is too high. It may be because the loads are just so inconsistent. To be honest, these tools, especially the slip sheet, just don't make sense in all situations. I know of a lot of produce houses that discourage their use because of so much product damage. They don't save a lot of unloading time if you spend any saved time picking up damaged product! And in our world, as we've learned speed can get us in trouble. A clamp operator cannot be rushed, a slip sheet operator cannot be careless, and a barrel clamp operator cannot assume every drum is stable. These jobs require focus. So where do we see these attachments? You may see clamps in receiving, shipping, production staging, appliance warehouses, paper product warehouses, grocery distribution, consumer goods, and retail distribution. I've seen roll clamps in paper mills, printing plants, packaging plants, and ports. You may see barrel clamps in chemical plants, food manufacturing, beverage, oil, recycling, and sanitation-related operations. And you may find slip sheet attachments in export loading, food and beverage distribution, manufacturing, agricultural products, electronics, cosmetics, and operations trying to reduce pallet cost. If you are an associate, forklift attachments can be an opportunity. They can make you more marketable and make you more useful to your facility. They can help you move from basic forklift operation into a specialty equipment role. But do not just jump on one. And we all know never to get on or even touch a machine or piece of powered industrial equipment that we have not been trained on and certified to operate right. Ask our managers for training. Ask to have the data plate explained to us. Ask how the attachment changes the machine's capacity. Ask what the inspection checklist looks like. Ask what products are approved to be handled. Ask what clamp pressure should be used. Ask what damage has happened before. Ask what near misses have occurred. Another words, communicate, ask questions, and learn. Be a professional. Be THAT employee. And if you are a lead, supervisor, or manager, do not assume a certified forklift operator is automatically qualified to use every attachment in the building. That operator needs equipment specific and workplace specific training. And the attachment needs to be part of the inspection program. The data plate needs to match the truck and attachment. The operator needs to know the limitations. OSHA's or your countries powered industrial truck guidance reminds us that the data plate gives the operator critical information such as forklift weight and capacity, and operators should read it to understand the truck's capabilities and limits. I think it's important to note here that a forklift attachment is not just an add-on. It is a new responsibility bolted to the front of the truck. Yes, it can help us move freight better and it can reduce pallet use, and it can protect product, and in certain environments It can improve efficiency, even open doors for operators who want to learn more and earn more. But it can also reduce capacity, block visibility, damage freight, create spills, drop loads, and hurt people when used incorrectly. So the message for today is simple. You don't need to fear forklift attachments, but we have to respect them, learn them, and inspect them, and understand what they change. And never forget that the more specialized the tool, the more professional that we, the operator needs to be. Well, I hope I answered a few of the questions on attachments.  Until next time, keep learning, keep asking questions, and keep building your career one safe move at a time. And please keep in mind that the safety of ourselves and our team is our first responsibility.
