When the America Supports You program received a donation of
$3.4 million dollars of products from bookselling giant Barnes and
Noble, the Department of Defense organization was overcome with
excitement. A donation of over 300,000 items earmarked for use by
military families was cause for celebration. As soon as the
excitement of the moment wore off, ASY realized they were headed
for a logistics nightmare. How could they possibly remove the
product from a warehouse in Memphis, TN within a matter of 3-4 days
as required? ASY with help from Y3K Grafix Trailer Wrap program
went to work assembling a team of outstanding companies to handle
the logistics of the operation.
Under the direction of former Marine and Y3KGrafix Vice President
Tony Rosenbum, the ASY Trailer Wrap Corporate Partner Network moved
22 trailer loads of product away from the Barnes and Noble
warehouse. Barr-Nunn Transportation, a Granger,
Iowa based company was instrumental in the entire operation. Along
with other ASY Trailer Wrap corporate partners, the donation was a
success from start to finish. A press conference was held recently
at Andrews Air Force Base to recognize Barnes and Noble for their
donation and to thank all the partners in the program. Barr-Nunn
Transportation supplied the press conference with an ASY trailer
wrap display for the event.
Barr-Nunn's President Rene Beacom was honored to be a part of the
event. "We are very honored to be able to participate in the
"America Supports You" program. Members of our Armed Forces, their
families and loved ones all have the support and respect of a
grateful nation and we are proud to be able to help show that
support." Barr-Nunn Transportation driver, Jim Pardoe
participated in the event. "I was honored to be selected to be a
part of this operation. I really enjoyed participating in the press
conference at Andrews Air Force Base." Without the help of
Barr-Nunn Transportation and other ASY Trailer Wrap partners, the
gift to the men and women of the military may not have been
possible.
