IT still gets more service calls than the forklifts.

Out with the old. In with the new.

One truck has seen years of hard work.

The other is just getting started.

Same job. Different generation.
It's always fun seeing what a few decades of forklift evolution looks like side by side. 🚜⚡

He stood The Watch.

A couple of weeks ago, our teammate Jason Howton officially retired from the United States Marine Corps after more than two decades of service.

Matt and Kailey had the privilege of attending his retirement ceremony at Camp Pendleton, where family, fellow Marines, and years of service came together in a moment none of us will soon forget.

What stood out was how much of that service still shows up in the way Jason works today.

The uniform may have changed, but the mindset hasn't.

Even while learning everything there is to know about material handling equipment, Jason has already made an impact on our team. He just led a sales meeting on cold calling, handling rejection, and pushing through adversity.

The meeting turned into a group session of cold calling, smiling and dialing, where we put his lessons into practice.

Attention to detail. Accountability. Showing up when things get uncomfortable.

Those qualities served him well in the Marines, and they're already making a difference here at Big Joe California.

Jason, thank you for your service to this country and for everything you bring to our team.

Semper Fi. 🇺🇸

Welcome to the team, Alexander Eulen!

Alex joins Big Joe California as our new Service Manager, bringing years of experience in installation, inventory control, warehouse operations, scheduling, project coordination, and customer service. He comes from the material handling world and understands the moving pieces behind keeping equipment, parts, technicians, and customers all moving in the same direction.

He's built his career around solving problems, staying organized, and navigating the details that most people never see.

If you've spent any time with Alex, you've probably noticed something else too: conversations rarely stay strictly business for very long. Whether it's a story, a joke, or an observation from years in the industry, he has a way of making even stressful days a little more enjoyable.

That's a valuable skill in a business where no two days are ever exactly the same.

Off the clock?

Alex enjoys spending time with family and friends, and he's always up for a good laugh.

We're excited to have Alex on board and looking forward to the experience, perspective, and energy he brings to the team.

Welcome to Big Joe California, Alex. 👏

A funny thing happens when you've spent enough years around material handling...

You can retire, step away, and enjoy the slower pace of life.

But put a shiny new forklift in front of you and suddenly you're right back on the warehouse floor checking it out like it's Christmas morning.

Big Joe California Big Boss stopped by to take a look at some of the newest additions to the fleet, swap stories, and remind us that some things never really leave your system.

Turns out forklifts are a lot like boats, classic cars, and golf clubs.

You don't stop looking at them just because you're retired.

Some passions just stick around. 💛

Some gave years.
Some gave youth.
Some gave futures they never got to live.

Memorial Day isn’t just about remembering service.
It’s about remembering the people behind the uniforms — the families, the sacrifices, and the empty seats that never really stopped being felt.

In material handling, warehousing, logistics, and operations, many of the businesses and people we support every day are built by veterans, military families, and generations connected to service.

You’ll find them running warehouses, managing fleets, leading operations, fixing equipment, driving trucks, and quietly keeping industries moving long after the uniform comes off.

For many, today is quiet. Reflective. Heavy in ways that are hard to explain unless you’ve lived close to it.

So today, we remember.
And we honor.

If you’re looking for a way to honor them today, support the families they left behind.

📌 Folds of Honor — Scholarships for spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members. https://foldsofhonor.org/

📌 Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) — Support and grief resources for families who lost loved ones in military service. https://www.taps.org/

📌 Snowball Express by the Gary Sinise Foundation — Programs dedicated to children and surviving spouses of fallen military heroes. https://lnkd.in/g7cbCzjj

📌 Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation — College scholarships and educational support for children of fallen service members. https://lnkd.in/gXEHzNWY

Today is a reminder that freedom was never free.

Looks like our trusty van decided to clock out early to enjoy the Memorial Day long weekend.

Honestly, after all the miles, deliveries, service calls, and warehouse runs… we figured it earned it.

Curious how’s everybody else spending their weekend?

Hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and well-deserved Memorial Day weekend 🇺🇸

Everybody in SoCal knows Big Joe California for pallet jacks, stackers, and lithium forklifts...

But yeah — we do Class II equipment too.

Reach trucks. Narrow aisle equipment. Warehouse Tetris machines.

The kind of equipment built for operations where every inch matters and "we need more space" usually means "guess we're going vertical now."

And honestly, whenever new Class Il equipment shows up, it immediately turns into a warehouse gathering.

Suddenly there's a whole gaggle of ops guys, techs, and salespeople standing around it like:

"Okay but look how tight this turning radius is."

A lot of warehouse conversations today are about maximizing footprint without expanding the building.

That's where Class II equipment shines.
Smaller footprint. Higher racking. Smarter space utilization.

Watching these SP Series units get prepped this week was a good reminder that material handling today isn't just about moving pallets anymore — it's about optimizing the entire operation around the space you already have.

Nothing to see here.

Just the boss Kailey Kelley out here wondering why everyone else in the company gets to use Claude for their jobs while hers still somehow involves climbing over forklifts and squeezing through tightly-parked inventory.

This "quick inventory check" last week somehow turned into warehouse parkour and an unexpected size-check real quick. Turns out squeezing between tightly parked forklifts will make you suddenly very aware of spatial awareness...and life choices.

At one point this stopped looking like operations and started looking like someone training for an obstacle course.

Forklift Ninja Warrior: Warehouse Edition, perhaps?

Just another day at Big Joe California.
