You have to put in the reps to see the results. Anyone in my network like to golf? Anyone in my network have a love/hate relationship with golf? Me too. Golf is a game of repetition. You cannot pick up the sticks and play a few times a year and expect to see improvement from last if you did not put in hours at the range, the putting greens, and playing practice rounds. As with most things in life, we improve by doing. Our operations team will successfully move over 700 loads of produce per month this summer during our peak seasons. Produce is some of the most high touch, difficult to handle freight there is. As difficult as perfecting a fairway bunker shot, perfectly executing on produce lanes does not happen overnight. Our quality has been built through hundreds and thousands of repetitions. Put in the reps to get the results, and just like in golf, know there is always room for continuous improvement.
