DFH Transportation moves goods from around the country to somewhere near you and this week To Go host, Brian Murnahan had the opportunity to talk with Saul David about what the Coronavirus has meant to his firm. They plan, book, and truck goods from location to location across the lower 48 United States. Saul jokes when asked how he got into the business, that not too many kids dream about growing up to be a logistics coordinator, but that with his natural skills it just worked out.

Routine work hauling mattresses to retailers was greatly reduced as retail outlets shut down, then gas prices dropped impacting billing and a reduction in drivers who were willing to work with the many unknowns in place across the country.

The bottom line for DFH is that they have the logistical skills, drivers, and support staff in place to deliver the products for their clients.
