Our Mission: When Typhoon Halong destroyed several coastal villages in western Alaska, the American Red Cross worked to evacuate families from the affected areas and relocate them to emergency shelters. Our time critical logistics team was tasked with delivering a shipment of cots and mattresses from California to the shelters in Anchorage.
Service: Trucking, next flight out
Route: Sacramento > Anchorage
Our Solution
We responded immediately to the time-critical request, working around the clock to coordinate an integrated next-day solution with ground and air logistics.
Our trucking team collected the shipment from Sacramento for the 450-mile overnight drive to the airport in San Bernardino. The two pallets were then expedited through cargo clearance and loaded onto the next outbound scheduled freight service.
Arriving in Anchorage later that day, the crucial supplies were handed over to relief workers, ready for distribution to families in the emergency shelters.
