For over 90 years, the pallet has been the backbone of the material handling industry.  Regional Sales Manager Chris Kuny discusses how all distribution systems are being impacted by the “Amazon Effect” for smaller, individualized order fulfillment and the changes to palletized logistics.

Don Baker was the Fleet Lead at Pepsi Cola’s Newport News, VA distribution facility when he first encountered the Big Joe EZ30 electric pallet truck.  “After about three weeks, I have to say that I fell in love with them. The trucks would perform beyond expectations,” he said.  Little did he know that this love would lead him to uprooting his family and moving to the Chicago suburbs to join Big Joe as the Assistant Service Manager.

The Doctor is … OUT!

Former paratrooper and lift truck lifer John “Dr. Z” Zamora takes aim at retirement.

After conducting more than a thousand of training sessions during a career spanning 49 years and covering nearly every corner of the globe, John “Dr. Z” Zamora has one final mission:  tell us his story. 

After spending nearly a quarter of a century finding creative ways to get customer’s equipment, some of it dating back to Big Joe’s early days, up and running again, Big Joe’s original “Den Mother” Mary Jo “MJ” Tuohy is retiring.  She took time out from problem solving to spin a few yarns, impart some wisdom and take a fond look back at the trail she has blazed in an all-boys industry. 

Rapid growth at Big Joe and the Material Handling Industry in general has created an on-going need for salesforce training at dealerships across the Country.  Regional Sales Manager John Hicks draws on over thirty years of experience in the industry to keep sales reps engaged while building product knowledge and brand awareness.
