Loading and packaging facilities located at Argus, Trona and Westend select the appropriate lots for shipment. The orders vary from large bulk orders loaded into railcars to small mixed product orders of packaged goods picked up by customer trucks or delivered by Searles Valley Minerals.
“Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning."
– WINSTON CHURCHILL
Ready to start
Worrying solves nothing, of course, but we take the words of Churchill in terms of recognizing potential kinks in the supply chain before they occur. As a logistics professional it’s important to run “what if” scenarios and dig into any areas that give you pause for thought. That’s where you’ll find those advance worries turn into advance planning!
