What does it take to grow a logistics company from a single box truck into a thriving omnichannel 3PL—and rebuild it after everything burns to the ground? In this episode of *Supply Chain Decoded*…
yeah what drove the decision you just mentioned that you're in was it 138 000 square foot
Uh, but yeah, but prior to that, uh, I mean like in Southern California, more Los Angeles area, we had, uh, you know, it was a 10, 12,000 square feet.

Um, cause you were growing and need to get more space and then get more space, but then you're locked into leases, you know? So, uh, you know, Fortunately, the last six years, seven years, actually, almost now, consolidated to one larger facility, True DC.
