Hydrogen is about to change the game. Are you ready?
It is happening! The first wave of investments from the DOE into the green hydrogen economy will create more innovative solutions for the molecule and allow it to become a more cost-effective renewable energy. The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2) hub has secured its first phase of funding from the DOE and this initial $27.5 million is a great step forward in creating the highway for green hydrogen. This follows last week’s news with the ARCHES hub securing their first $30 million installment. This ever-changing industry is seeing some real traction in the right direction and we at Shaker Logistics take pride in the progress we have seen with our #H2 partners. It is an exciting time to see these forward-thinking companies move us to a more renewable and cleaner future!
Pacific Northwest hydrogen hub officially launched with first DOE grant

Our team’s creativity in finding logistics solutions is what sets us apart!
Creativity is something that can easily become lost in the day to day grind. Working in the ever evolving logistics industry requires flexibility, adaptability, and an innovative mindset. Adjusting to customer needs, market conditions, natural disasters, so on and so forth fosters a need for logistics companies to think outside the box constantly. I found this article by Forbes provided a good construct to reflect on just how important creativity is in the workplace. One of the main reasons I love working for Shaker Logistics is the dedication to creative problem solving, whether it be for a customer, employee, vendor, etc. What are some ways that you think outside of the box at your job? https://lnkd.in/gNM6ZVYD

What makes our operations team so successful? It starts with listening.
I remember my first day in the world of logistics, starting as a Driver Manager for May Trucking with zero experience. The extent of my knowledge was that an 18-wheeler had 18 wheels, and that was it! That day I got some simple advice from a senior Driver Manager who told me, “Keep your head down and listen.” And for the next six months, I did just that – stayed quiet as a mouse, listened, learned and tried not to run any drivers out of fuel. I’ve since dropped the “keep your head down” part, but I’ve never stopped listening. 13 years later there is rarely a day that goes by that I don’t learn something new from a customer, carrier or one of my teammates at Shaker Logistics. Most anyone in logistics will tell you there is no manual. Many of the lessons are learned the hard way, in the moment, with an upset customer or driver on the other end of the line; but just as many are learned by keeping your ears open out on the floor or trading war stories with your peers at another company. As intermediaries, we’re not doing our job if we aren’t up to date on the trends, developments and pressures that affect our customers’ shipments. Often, the first step towards knowing (nearly) everything there is to know about the current market and how to service it is pushing back from the desk, getting quiet and listening.
