Preparing for Hurricane Dorian

Hurricane Dorian’s unknown path toward land somewhere along Florida’s east coast poses a lot of issues for truck drivers who have specific delivery dates; especially with the holiday weekend coming. Retailers are also working overtime (behind the scenes) to make sure they are ready for shoppers' hurricane needs.

There are strong winds and flooding expected - that can make travel and transportation risky, but sometimes it's even more critical that products make it to retailers' shelves. We are working closely with retailers, warehouses, and transportation companies to prepare. Think about how important it is that items like bottled water and batteries are on shelves during these times.
