FRAGILE: Handle with Care

FRAGILE: Handle with Care

At the Portland International Airport (PDX) in 2019, our Quantem team received a call asking us to showcase our capabilities to a potential new customer. The customer had highly sensitive cargo that needed to be handled with extreme care. In an effort to expand their market, they asked us to run a test flight to assess how we perform.

At 3:00 a.m., with a crew of ramp agents, leads, and supervisors, our Quantem PDX team went to work. The cargo was so delicate that even the slightest shock (3 Gs) would render it damaged – it was an extraordinarily delicate process. With the utmost care, the crew padded their dollies, and drove the cargo at no more than a slow walking pace to the warehouse where it was loaded onto specialty air trailers. The customer representatives were extremely pleased with our care of their cargo – sharing that we exceeded their expectations in every way! We are proud to say this relationship is still going strong.

No matter the challenge, Quantem takes great pride in delivering exceptional service and value to every customer, every time.
