Genchi Genbutsu Part Deux

Today we visited the Harrisburg, PA Service Center.  This site is a primary location for Intermodal.  But, it is also a strategic crossroads for DCS and Truckload.
The banner on the exterior fence is promoting local driving jobs for Intermodal, proof positive that it is difficult in every arena to find great drivers.
The Harrisburg Terminal is a state of the art facility.  The design is like none we have ever duplicated at J.B. Hunt.
We practice multiple enviromentally friendly techniques in construction/maintenance of this service center.  The use of skylights, a white metal roof, concrete floors and recycled materials all add up to a friendly facility for our enviroment.
 Here is the orientation room.  It is a design that I have not witnessed at any other facility.  Truckload has 2 professional drivers in this weeks class.
The shop locker room is a real source of pride.  The diamond plated bench looks solid. 
 
Kimberly Lindsey is our key contact for Truckload at the Harrisburg, PA Service Center.  She has a terrific attitude and is a Safety Coordinator.  We witnessed her helping future IC's and helping make the orientation a true success.

The Harrisburg facility is a wonderful example of J.B. Hunt at its finest.  The spirit and helpfulness of the staff was evident the minute we walked onto the property.
