With Hurricane Ian rapidly approaching Florida shores, logistics and shipping companies are preparing for the storm.

We have drivers all over the country, so we monitor throughout all 48 states to proactively communicate to our driving fleet potential issues, potential challenges, things they might want to avoid," said AGX COO Ike Sherlock."We're brokering freight all over the country as well.
For both companies, a main line of thought is keeping the business moving without too many road blocks due to the storm.
