Due to excellent planning and disaster preparedness, Sun Logistics NY was up and running the day after the eye of Hurricane Sandy passed through NY City. Because the terminal had power through its back-up generation and diesel fuel for its trucks Sun was able to carry out operations in all areas that were passable by truck. Sun's customers continued to ship to Sun and in-fact, added business that its competitors could not service. Working 24/7 through Thanksgiving, Sun Logistics delivered over 900 shipments per day, a 35% increase in normal business levels on "normal" business days.
A new terminal record of 982 shipments delivered on 11/12/12 was the pinnacle of the operations' effort. During the monthly management meeting, the operations management and staff were duly complimented and thanked for its herculean efforts by the owner at the last Sun management meeting.
