The Trinity Foundation continues to support the local community by presenting Lisa Coldiron, Head of School for Sussex Montessori School, a $50,000 contribution that will benefit capital efforts to open in Seaford, Delaware.
“One of Trinity Foundation’s core focus areas is Youth Leadership Development. We are excited to partner with the new Sussex Montessori School that is coming to Seaford and help develop the next generation of leaders,” said Chris Parker, Trinity Foundation Director.
The Montessori Method, based on the scientific research of Dr. Maria Montessori in Rome at the turn of the 20th Century, is rooted in the belief that children are innate learners, driven by curiosity, and thrive in physical and social settings prepared specifically for them.
The Montessori Curriculum is based on the social and academic equally. Both are rigorous, individualized, and highly structured.
As a result of this focus on each child’s individuality and development, Montessori children are confident, intrinsically motivated, responsible, creative, cooperative, and respectful. They emerge more than ready for whatever is next in their lives: college, the workforce, or community service.
The Trinity Foundation is proud to support the school and its direct benefit to the Sussex County community and looks forward to future opportunities to volunteer.
The word “chemical” may sound a little scary. But it covers many different items, including some items in your kitchen or bathroom cabinets. When people talk about the challenges of chemical shipping, they’re often talking about materials that need special care. These might include materials that could explode, ignite, emit toxic gases, or cause serious harm if not handled in a safe manner.
There are many safety rules to keep hazardous chemicals from spilling or leaking. Anyone who transports or stores hazardous chemicals must understand how to handle those types of products. If a company or person violates certain rules, they may come face to face with civil and criminal penalties and thousands of dollars’ worth of fines. This chemical safety stuff is no joke! So, what could happen if chemicals aren’t stored and shipped properly?
What Could Happen
If rules and regulations for chemical storage and shipment aren’t upheld, a dangerous situation could occur. In February 2014, a facility near Carlsbad, New Mexico experienced an impactful issue.
An issue occurred at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant facility that was responsible for storing waste from the making of plutonium bombs. This operation was a result of a clean-up effort of old nuclear weapon manufacturing sites. A storage drum containing plutonium waste broke open because of improper packaging. This resulted in waste being sprayed into the air and 22 employees were exposed to small amounts of radiation.
The incident ended with the closure of the New Mexico repository. Investigation of the Los Alamos National Laboratory also occurred. This was where the plutonium waste was being packaged in a way that led to the occurrence.
Storing Chemicals
There are a lot of rules and regulations when it comes to storing chemical materials. One wrong thing and you could literally have an explosion on your hands. To protect the environment and people that work where hazardous materials are being stored and used, containment is important. This is to prevent contamination.
Regulations are created at the state and federal levels to help prevent incidents from happening while chemicals are being stored and moved across the country. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and other agencies all have specific requirements for handling chemicals.
Douglas Brown, of Brown Chemical Company in Oakland, NJ states that his company must interface with nine different agencies just to open the doors every day. Along with OSHA, DOT, and EPA, those agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA), and the FBI.
There are also safety steps companies enforce to prevent spills, leaks, and injuries. Some safety rules include forklift speed limits, passageway traffic rules, and safety training. Other safety measures could be:
- Implementing storage rules – Larger volumes of chemicals tend to be stored in drums, barrels or Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC), on racks or in large chemical storage units. Using signage to show the maximum volume a pallet or rack can hold will prevent collapsed areas and spills.
- A specialized storage system – It’s common for large warehouses to store products by alphabetizing, order of most used, or reference numbers. But these methods don’t work well when it comes to chemicals. That’s because there are several sets of chemicals that should never be near each other and could cause explosive reactions. If conflicting materials were to come into contact, fire, explosion, violent reactions or toxic gases could result.
- Inspections and emergency response plans – Companies should schedule regular, thorough visual inspections of storage areas to make sure no spills or leaks go unnoticed. This can lessen the possibility of employee health issues, damage to the building and other products, or worse. An emergency response plan should be in place in case a leak or spill happens.
Other typical storage considerations may include temperature, ignition control, ventilation, segregation, and identification. There are even special types of equipment that should be used in these environments. For example, EE-rated non-spark equipment prevent any spark from igniting a vapor or gas. In addition, special padding and static guard helps to ensure electrical equipment doesn’t set off accidents. All proper storage information is on Safety Data Sheets (SDS). An SDS must be on hand for every hazardous chemical in your workplace.
Shipping Chemicals
There are extra requirements that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and DOT track to make sure shippers are compliant when transporting chemical materials. In order for a carrier to haul a chemical load that contains hazardous materials, both the driver assigned to the truck must have a hazmat certificate on their CDL and the carrier must have a hazmat certificate registered with DOT. Before shipping chemicals, a best practice would be to vet common carriers to be sure they have the above requirements. Using a third-party logistics company like Trinity will give you peace of mind when trying to get this information.
Our Carrier Compliance Team monitors carrier certificates and ensures trucking companies and drivers adhere to these requirements before arranging a chemical load. This provides the best possible safety and lessens the risk for shippers.
Responsible Care® partnership is also something to consider when shipping chemical products. This is the chemical manufacturing industry’s environmental, health, safety, and security performance initiatives. Trinity is a proud Responsible Care® partner and is committed to following the program through endorsing their guiding principles; measuring and publicly reporting our performance on an annual basis; implementing the Responsible Care Product Safety Code, Process Safety Code and Security Code; implementing the Responsible Care Management System ® to achieve and verify results; and obtaining independent certification that a management system is in place and functions according to professional specifications.
Another thing to consider with chemical shipping is capacity. Capacity is already an issue because of the driver shortage. But in the chemical industry, shipments often involve regional trips. These long-distance hauls can be unattractive to drivers. Finding tanker trucks for bulk chemical shipments proves especially tough.
Using a third-party broker like Trinity Logistics, will help take the guess work out of shipping your chemical materials.

Of all industries, the food industry needs data and visibility in the supply chain readily available when it comes to their shipping. Many food products are perishable and need to deliver in a specific timeframe to be able to be used. Recalls and claims can cost a lot to a manufacturer, causing them to lose revenue. The technology to keep data easily accessible can also cost quite a bit. Yet, food manufacturers outsourcing to a 3PL can gain benefits outside of just having their shipments arranged.
Quality Food Products Delivered
No matter the type of food – raw, cold, frozen, canned, produce – it all has a sell-by date and a proper way to be handled. Your customers want the best-looking product with the longest shelf life available when delivered. Having visibility into your shipping offers you insight into your product’s quality and helps you keep your customers happy.
Shipping temperature-sensitive items? Check out our Temperature Shipping Guide.
FSMA & Recalls
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and the rise of recalls add in extra pressure for the food industry to have visibility. If food is not handled safely, you can face criminal penalties. Additionally, no one wants to be faced with the adverse publicity and expense of a recall. According to a study by the Food Manufacturing Institute and Grocery Manufacturers Association, a company faced with a recall can expect an average of $10 million in direct costs, in addition to the damage to their brand and lost sales.
Visibility Is Important In The Food Industry
Visibility in the food supply chain is becoming something that is moving from the Wish List to the Required List. A shipment’s whereabouts are critical in determining actions that may be needed to provide the best customer service and make sure products are delivering intact and on time. Sophisticated brands are ditching their manual and time-consuming processes and replacing them with technology to operate more efficiently while gaining more visibility into their operations than before. With food safety always in mind for this industry, there is a big advantage for those with end-to-end visibility into their operations. But technology comes at a price.
Shippers need to work with strategic vendors who can provide them the technology tools needed for full visibility. They need to choose vendors who can put into place those tools and manage control when necessary to keep operations moving and to stay competitive in the market. To reduce costs and gain a helping hand, food manufacturers can choose to outsource to a 3PL for both their transportation needs and technology.
Technology 3PLs Offer
We all know that outsourcing to a 3PL reduces the stress and workload of finding a carrier to move your freight. 3PLs such as Trinity Logistics, take over the responsibilities of vetting the carriers they work with, making sure they have the proper credentials, insurance, and experience for your freight. But they also offer you access to their technology for all sorts of needs. Technology to track your shipment from pick up to delivery, automate workflows, engage in collaboration with supply chain partners, and more.
Transportation Management Systems
One such piece of technology offered is Transportation Management Systems or a TMS. A TMS can help your business gain visibility into your supply chain, create new efficiencies, and automate your manual workload, so you can focus on keeping your customers happy and the orders coming. When using a 3PL, such as Trinity Logistics, you often have options to choose in how you want to integrate your TMS. With Trinity, we offer you a choice of:
- Software as a Service (Saas)
- Managed Services
- Integrated TMS
You get to choose how integrated you want the technology to be with your data and get a specialist to work with you every step of the way. No matter what option you choose, you gain the visibility you are looking for in your supply chain.
What Are You Waiting For?
As a food manufacturer, you need to track your supply chain to stay efficient and safe. Gaining supply chain visibility with technology is needed to stay competitive in your industry and outsourcing to a 3PL can reduce expenses for that investment. Taking advantage of their technology offerings, such as a TMS, can provide you insight and improvements.
Trinity Logistics is well-versed in the food industry and understands your need for visibility. Our team of experts is here to help you manage your operations, offer you the data you want, and give you the choice of how you want to integrate that technology and receive that data.
Are you ready to see what visibility you are missing in your supply chain?

September 11, 2020 Update:
Trinity Logistics, Inc., is pleased to announce that until further notice, we will continue to keep our reduced Quick Pay fee of 1.5%, regularly at 2%. Trinity looks forward to continue to bring savings to our valued motor carriers during these unprecedented times.
May 11, 2020 Update:
Trinity Logistics, Inc., is pleased to announce that until September 1, 2020, we will be reducing our Quick Pay fee from 2% (just announced) to 1.5%. Trinity wishes to put more of your hard-earned money back into your pockets. We believe this rate without any additional fees (as normally charged by a factor company) is significantly less than your presently factored invoices (if your factored). You can work directly with the great folks at Triumph Pay to determine how you can remove your Trinity’s invoices from the current factored arrangement. Trinity is looking forward to bringing these savings to our valued motor carriers.
In the midst of this unprecedented time, we recognize the struggles that our dedicated carriers are faced with, which is why beginning May 26, 2020, Trinity Logistics will be permanently reducing our QuickPay fees and making the move to the TriumphPay platform. TriumphPay is a leading provider of carrier and vendor payment solutions. This will drive efficiencies for Trinity and offer a better payment experience to our carriers.
Trinity has been working alongside Triumph and their factoring division for years, as carriers have utilized their payment services.
“Jordan Graft has been our long-term contact at Triumph”, says Doug Potvin, CFO of Trinity Logistics. “One of our largest problems was tackling the amount of time spent on phone calls with our factors. I had recently seen Jordan at a FreightWaves conference and his presentation on TriumphPay. I called him up and asked him, how can we reduce our phone calls from Triumph Business Capital? Jordan, on a Friday, offered to come up the very next Monday and presented TriumphPay’s benefit to Trinity and our carriers. It was an easy decision to move forward with TriumphPay, especially with our existing relationship with Jordan.”
TriumphPay will be a benefit to Trinity by advancing our back-office support and driving efficiencies. By reducing our amount of calls from factors, it opens up our time to offer more customer service with each phone call. Our customer service team will have more time to call to follow up with our dedicated carriers to retrieve missing documentation in order to quickly resolve any billing issues to get the carriers paid on time.
Trinity Logistics, Inc., in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the pressure it puts on to the supply chain, has made a conscious decision to improve and decrease the cost of our QuickPay Program. Trinity is reducing our QuickPay fee from 3 percent in 3 days and 2 percent in 10 days to 2 percent (1.5 percent until September 1, 2020) in 2 days once processed through TriumphPay. Trinity’s QuickPay program reduction will continue long after the supply chain returns to a degree normalcy. Since the TriumphPay platform is utilized by numerous brokers, this means carriers will have opportunity to not only manage payments from Trinity but from others. The TriumphPay portal is easy to use and offers carriers the option of uploading paperwork and updating their QuickPay terms with each broker at any time.
“We believe this partnership will be a major catalyst in digitizing and streamlining carrier payments,” said Jordan Graft, president of TriumphPay.

Shipping produce can be a bit tricky. Produce is time-sensitive to make sure consumers at its freshest. Certain produce can be sensitive to pressure, like peaches, that bruise easily. Other produce requires certain temperatures to keep it at its freshest. It’s a juggling act to make sure your produce is at its highest quality when delivered to your customer.
When shipping produce, you need to consider temperature, shelf life, and transit times. Here are three tips to making the process as easy as possible.
Tip #1:
Give as much lead time as you can for orders.
Normally more time means better shipping capacity. Not every truck can haul fresh produce. Refrigerated trucks or reefers are ideal to transport produce because they can adjust and keep temperatures where they need to be for your product. Especially during produce season, the more lead time, the better chance of finding an available reefer at a decent shipping rate.
Tip #2:
Make sure the carrier or transportation partner you select is FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) compliant.
Passed in 2011 and implemented in 2017, this regulation focuses on maintaining food safety during transportation. Its goal is to prevent illnesses from contaminated food. If found in violation of FSMA, you can be subjected to large fines and even imprisonment.
Tip #3:
Have detention rules clearly laid out.
Communication is key in your part of shipping produce. In the case of a delay at the farm or pick-up location, drivers can be notified ahead of time, keeping everyone on the same page. This also helps build up your reputation as a shipper of choice, so more quality carriers and transportation partners want to work with you.
Shipping produce is one of Trinity’s specialties. With Burris Logistics as our parent company, we have the warehousing, handling, tracking, and shipping solutions to accommodate you. Shipping produce can be complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. We can help you simplify it.

Food manufacturers have to stay on top of changes, so they don’t fall behind or lose loyal customers. Consumer trends and interests often change, or other market disruptions come out of nowhere. Consumers today care more about health, fast shipping, and the environment. Food safety regulations and unexpected disruptions like the coronavirus have changed the market. Food manufacturers benefit when they choose an experienced 3PL provider who stays informed and can adapt to any changes quickly. This makes for less stress and reduced or no losses in business.
Health Conscious Consumers
Consumers are becoming more health-conscious with their food. They want fewer additives and more natural, organic products. Consumers are buying vegan or plant-based alternatives; food that fits their diet such as Keto, carnivore, or macro-counting. Fewer additives and healthier food mean fresher food with shorter shelf lives. This means quick shipping to keep food fresh and your consumers happy.
Faster Shipping
Due to the Amazon Effect, consumers expect even quicker shipping on everything. Shopping at brick and mortar shops is declining and consumers want to order everything online. According to studies by both Neilson and the Food Market Institute, fifty percent of Americans now buy all of their grocery products online. They want subscription boxes, such as ButcherBox, or meal subscriptions, like HelloFresh, delivered to their doorsteps. Direct to Consumer (D2C) is growing across all industries, especially the food industry.
Environmentally Mindful
With climate change being a hot topic, consumers are more aware of their carbon footprint now more than ever. They want less packaging used for the products they order. They want to know how the brands they shop from stay green and reduce their environmental impact; starting with how the product is made, to the packaging, the shipping, and more. Consumers worry more about how their impact on the environment and that falls back on the manufacturer as well.
Federal Regulations
On top of consumers’ changing demands, there are regulations to keep on top of as well. In recent years, food safety in transportation became a concern, so the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was created. FSMA is still a newer regulation that was put in place April 2017. Food safety in transportation is important, so there could still be changes to the regulation in the future.
Unexpected Disruptions
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) rapidly made an impact on food manufacturers in 2020. Uncertainty from the virus caused consumers to buy out grocery stores, creating a high demand for those products. Restaurants shut down or switched to take-out only, causing a reduction in sales. Food manufacturers and the transportation providers they work with had to adapt fast. Hopefully, a crisis like COVID-19 does not happen again, but it is good to be ready for anything and be able to make changes quickly when needed.
Choosing a 3PL provider who stays on top of consumer trends, regulations, and other changes in the food manufacturing industry is important. Having someone who understands your challenges makes working to meet your customer’s demands an easier task.
Trinity Logistics stays informed about what goes on in the food manufacturing industry to better serve you. Concerning the changes mentioned above, Trinity Logistics;
• Makes use of many modes to arrange timely shipping for your natural and organic products.
• Through our parent company, Burris Logistics, we are able to offer you D2C services for faster shipping.

These values were instilled in the company 40 years ago by the founders Ed and Deanna Banning, and continue to drive the company forward today.
The one foundation and most valuable asset that continues to drive Trinity Logistics forward are the Team Members. Trinity’s Team Members and Authorized Agents live the Guiding Values every day and put the needs of others first. Developing customized solutions, delivering excellent service, and constantly striving to be their best is what will drive Trinity Logistics through any challenging time.

Foodborne diseases are preventable and the reason why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) put the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) in place.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) each year foodborne illnesses cause;
- 48 million or 1 in 6, people in the U.S. get sick,
- 128,000 to get hospitalized,
- and 3,000 deaths.
The above statistics made the FDA realize how big of a deal foodborne illness has become and that something needed to change. Thus, came the addition of FSMA to regulations.
What is FSMA?
FSMA was finalized in April 2017 and built upon the 2005 Sanitary Food Transportation Act (SFTA). There were concerns about the regulations for the transportation of food in a safe manner. Foodborne illnesses could be prevented during transportation by reducing common safety risks such as;
- the failure to keep temperature-controlled food refrigerated,
- inadequate cleaning of vehicles between loads,
- and protecting food from contamination.
How Does FSMA Apply to…..
…Transportation and Logistics?
Food manufacturers and transportation companies that they work with must operate compliant and clean equipment, have operational processes in place, training to prevent food contamination, and keep records of anything on food safety measures.
…Shippers?
Under FSMA, shippers are the ones who arrange the transportation of the food product(s). This includes food manufacturers and the freight brokers they may work with. Shippers must understand the regulation, partner with a transportation company that is compliant, and communicate any food safety requirements with the companies they work with. They are responsible to ensure vehicles and equipment are in sanitary conditions deemed acceptable by the FDA. They must specify temperature and pre-cooling requirements in writing to the carrier and ensure that their cargo doesn’t make food unsafe for bulk shipments.
…Carriers?
Motor carriers must determine that their vehicles and equipment are sanitary. Carriers are responsible for making sure the equipment meets the shipper’s requirements and is able to maintain the temperatures needed to keep food safe. Refrigerated cold storage has to work and be pre-cooled to the correct temperature as instructed before loading. They need to maintain temperature records and proof of equipment cleaning for all cargo that has been on their equipment.
…To Receivers?
Receivers must provide washing facilities to motor carriers if they are handling, loading, or unloading any foods that are not enclosed. Additionally, they must request proof of proper temperature-control records before accepting.
Having Well-Trained Staff
Training on FSMA regulations and processes should make staff aware of the role they play in food safety. FSMA compliance needs to be part of the company’s culture and day-to-day operations.
Record Everything
The FDA requires that accurate records are kept. This includes processes in place to stay compliant and prevent contamination, training, agreements including FSMA, or temperature-control records.
Violations Are a Serious Matter
Companies can face criminal penalties if food is not handled safely and are not compliant with the FDA’s regulations. Criminal violations can include fines of up to $250,000 for an individual or double that for organizations, as well as one year of imprisonment. It is critical to stay FSMA compliant to keep recalls at a minimum.

Choose Like-Minded Transportation Partners
Food safety issues still occur on a regular basis, so it is important to stay FSMA compliant. Part of that is in choosing a transportation partner that stays on top of regulations and focused on food safety.
Trinity Logistics understands the requirements that are necessary to be FMSA compliant and we verify that our vetted and selected carriers meet those standards as well. We strive to remain ahead of the curve and stay up-to-date when it comes to food safety in transportation. If you are looking for a 3PL provider you can trust when it comes to food safety regulations, such as FSMA, connect with us.
