Our Biggest Barrier Wall Movement to Date!
Last night, our team successfully delivered the final truckload of a 507-truck precast barrier wall movement! With TXDOT f-shape barriers weighing in right under 14,000 pounds per piece, we moved exactly 45,540LF in 25 working days over a 12-week time frame.
Our team encountered a myriad of challenges while navigating this movement including lane closures, live night loading with daytime delivery, multiple pickup and delivery locations, and much more.
Behind the scenes, Eiffel Trading account managers Caleigh Cooper & Lexie Dwiggins kept things rolling with hundreds of shipping tickets, multiple spreadsheets, and near-constant communication with all involved parties!
Caleigh Cooper said that “working along side my team on this project has been a great experience. Our dedication, attention to detail, and ability to stay calm under pressure made all the difference as we navigated the many challenges. I truly appreciate Lexie’s partnership and the way we’ve been able to support each other throughout this sale.”
This accomplishment would not be possible without the help of carrier representative Judith Juarez from our freight partner, Inca Freight (https://incafreight.com/) ! Judith took on the night shifts (literally!) to provide critical support to the drivers and give important updates to the customers.
“I am grateful to be a part of the team tackling our largest barrier wall movement to date. I loved being able to grow professionally through learning how to tackle challenges related to moving barrier from one job site to another during live night time lane closure load outs! I couldn't have made it through this journey without the support of Caleigh and all of our late night problem solving sessions. It was a pleasure being able to work with Pilar and Judith on this run. Here’s to teamwork, resilience, and pushing through together!” said Lexie Dwiggins of Eiffel Trading.
Thank you to our customers for entrusting us with this undertaking. We are excited and ready to take on the next big challenge, so bring it on!
