A fresh glass of juice, anyone? 🍹
At JAXPORT’s Talleyrand Terminal, our team worked with terminal operator @EnstructureLLC and trucking provider @LandstarSystem to move more than 9,000 tons of pear and apple juice.
The juice arrived in bins from Argentina aboard the el Ice Glacier before being transported to a nearby refrigerated warehouse.
Jacksonville offers more than 143 million cubic feet of refrigerated warehouse space, helping keep store shelves stocked and glasses full. #jaXportpartners
