Wholesalers move mountains of goods every day to keep the economy moving — the medical, dental and hospital equipment vital to the health of every citizen; plumbing and heating equipment needed in every development under construction; and the books, clothing, electronics, furniture and nursery products that enhance our lives.

But what happens when weather takes the roof off the warehouse or a trailer-load of goods goes off the road? Or when employees are sidelined by injury or illness? That flow of products, if disrupted, can impact the bottom line.
