Distribution Technologies Inc (DistTech), Newbury OH, has opened a new 9,300-square-foot terminal in Ironton OH that replaces a smaller terminal in the area.
In addition to a three-bay shop, the building includes a drivers’ room complete with showers and an exercise space. “As part of our commitment to our drivers, we now have a more comfortable space with a number of amenities for them to enjoy,” Ray Elliott, Ironton terminal logistics manager, said. “It’s just one small way that we can reward our driving team for their dedication to our customers day in and day out.”
In addition the Ironton terminal team has earned the Sunoco Inc Transportation Group Carrier of the Facility Award for the manufacturer’s Haverhill OH plant. This marks the fifth consecutive year that Sunoco has honored DistTech with a service award, based on safety and service performance to Sunoco’s customers throughout the year. The criteria includes outstanding on-time delivery, on-time loading and load acceptance.
