Shipment Preparation and Receiving

by Rett Rasmussen, VP

We take great care in preparing shipments. We unitize the cartons by stacking them in an alternating fashion from one tier to another, to avoid cartons from splitting apart from the pallet. We double plastic wrap the pallets, and use extra plastic around the base to unitize the bottom tier of cartons to the pallet. We top the pallets with plastic wrap (to keep moisture out), then place our logo-branded "Do Not Break Shrink Wrap" tape so that it is visible on all sides and evidence of an issue beyond Rasmussen's location if the plastic wrap or tape is broken.

by Carol Tice

Besides the $30 billion loan fund, the recently passed small-businesses law includes an increase in Small Business Administration loan limits, funding for state investment programs and tax breaks. Most of the changes will help medium-size businesses rather than small companies, wrote Carol Tice, but the bill does include some provisions for smaller firms, including a deduction of health-insurance costs for the self-employed.
