The Government Team Lands Big Opportunity

Trailer Bridge’s Government team moved 418 pieces of cargo- including vehicles, equipment, and containers- from Hawaii to the Philippines for a U.S. Marine Corps training exercise.

This shipment was awarded to Trailer Bridge through the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command’s USC contract, which coordinates the movement of U.S. military equipment and supplies through transportation industry partners.

Chad Yarbrough, Trailer Bridge’s Manager of Government Logistics, traveled to Hawaii to supervise the move at the port of Pearl Harbor. The cargo was loaded onto a heavy load carrier vessel, the UHL Force, and took over 52 hours from start to finish. Each piece had to be individually lifted by crane, positioned inside the vessel, and safely secured for transport.

Congratulations to the team on accomplishing this huge feat!
