Last night a small group of us celebrated the upcoming retirement of our longest tenured staff member, Suzy Sonnier. She has been part of our team for 18 years, and in the intermodal container industry in general for decades. Anyone that knows Suzy knows what a gem she is. We are going to miss her terribly, but couldn’t be happier for her to enjoy this next chapter in life.

This past Friday we had our annual employee appreciation luncheon. About 80% of our team was able to attend. So great to see everyone from Charleston, Chicago, New Jersey, and West Texas all visit our offices in Houston for the event. Merry Christmas everybody!

It's always great to see old friends and new. Best wishes for a happy retirement to Mr. Leon Nell of Stolt, and Mr. Michael Wimmer of Leschaco. What great careers they've had in this industry! Proud to say that we've known both of these guys for decades.

This organization based in Micronesia has been buying tanks from us for many years. The tanks are used for bulk storage of jet fuel at the various islands they serve. Their latest purchase just arrived, and they sent us this picture once they installed it on new concrete stands. Pretty awesome, huh?

Likewise their mission is pretty awesome, and you can learn more about it on their page: https://www.facebook.com/Pacific-Mission-Aviation-121606411537/

Unfortunately, the world remains a dangerous place and the original purpose of the Jones Act is still relevant.

Yesterday we said goodbye to our longtime coworker and friend, Joe Tijerina. He lost his battle with Covid-19 on March 13, 2021. Our hearts go out to his family during this extraordinarily difficult time.

We need everyone’s help!!

This sweet dog was dumped at our office a few weeks ago. We have been feeding her and caring for her, but she really needs a home to call her own. Even though we love her company, we aren’t here on the weekends and since we’re by an intersection with fast traffic, she has had a few close calls.

She has been given her shots. The vet believes she is about 9-10 months old and a Blackmouth Cur.

Anyone interested in adopting a new best friend? Chassis (as we call her) would love to be a part of your family 💗 🐾
