Move 30 tons of
pistachio oil via air freight from Sacramento to Stuttgart, Germany? No problem
for Pilot Freight Services’ Sacramento team. The shipment, which totaled 23,770
kilos and encompassed 30 drums, was for a customer of Pilot’s German partner. The
real challenge came when the TSA put a hold on a portion of the large load at
the airport. “We had to return one drum to the shipper, coordinate recovery of
the 29 drums left and then tender them to a new airline,” explains Pilot Sacramento's district manager. She credits the joint effort among
her fellow Pilot teammates, the supplier and Pilot’s German partner for
bringing the project to a positive completion!
