What a fantastic day at the 2026 Manufacturing First Expo & Conference at the Resch Expo in Green Bay!

The FTS team had an incredible time connecting with industry professionals, exploring other exhibitors' booths, catching up with old friends, and making plenty of new connections along the way!

Our Plinko board (as always) was a hit and brought lots of fun and friendly competition to Booth 707!

We also had an awesome Power Hour raffle basket, and we'd like to give a special congratulations to Melinda P. from McCormick Industries on being our lucky winner! 🎉

Events like these remind us how valuable face-to-face connections are and how fortunate we are to be part of such a hardworking, innovative manufacturing and logistics community.

A big thank-you to everyone who stopped by our booth and to the organizers for putting together such a great event. We're already looking forward to next year!

Doing Logistics Right. 🧡🖤

And of course, we couldn’t let the day go by without showing a little WI pride….HOW ‘BOUT THEM BREWERS!!!! 💙💛⚾️

What a wonderful afternoon celebrating women who lead, inspire, and make an impact! 🩷

Yesterday, Ginger and Michelle had the pleasure of attending the Heart of the Valley Chamber of Commerce's 12th Annual Women You Should Know luncheon!

From an uplifting keynote speaker and inspiring panelists to meaningful conversations and incredible stories, it was a great reminder of the amazing women making a difference right here in our community.

We also had the pleasure of sharing our table with CJ & Associates, Inc. and Amundsen Davis. Such a fun group of people, and we truly enjoyed the conversations and connections!

And can we talk about those raffle baskets?! So many creative baskets showcasing local women-owned businesses. We loved having the opportunity to be part of an event that celebrates and supports them!

A big thank you to the Heart of the Valley Chamber and all of the sponsors involved in putting together such a fantastic event.

Here's to supporting, encouraging, and celebrating one another today and every day! 🩷

What a great couple of days at PACK EXPO in Chicago!

We kicked things off by taking the Amtrak from Milwaukee to Chicago, and honestly, we highly recommend it! Such a relaxing and convenient way to travel.

The show itself did not disappoint! We met so many incredible people, had some fantastic conversations, and even had the opportunity to catch up with three of our customers and take care of a little business while we were there.

A few highlights from our trip:

🎶 Third Eye Blind at the House of Blues! A huge thank you to the awesome group from Pack IQ for inviting us to join them. What a fun night with great people!

☕ PPWLN Networking Breakfast. We had the opportunity to hear Nicole Malachowski speak, and WOW! What a phenomenal experience. Such an inspiring way to start the day!

🤝 Connections, connections, connections! Between reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting so many new ones, we're heading home with some great conversations and opportunities to follow up on.

And after logging about 20,000 steps yesterday, we'd say we made the most of our time on the show floor! 👟

Thank you to everyone who took the time to connect with us and helped make this such a great experience. Until next time, PACK EXPO!

🎉💚💛 Happy Birthday to one of the incredible women behind FTS - Annette! 💛💚🎉

If you know Annette, you know a few things are guaranteed:

- She may just be the biggest Green Bay Packers fan on the planet. 🏈
- She loves her family and her dogs FIERCELY. 🐾
- Gift giving is 100% her love language and she is quite possibly the most generous person we know. 🎁
- She can make just about anyone laugh (and there is rarely a dull moment when she’s around 😂).

But what we’re especially lucky to know is the kind of person she is to the people who work beside her every day.

Annette takes incredibly good care of her team. She celebrates us, supports us, spoils us, makes us laugh, and is a huge part of what makes FTS a place where people genuinely enjoy coming to work. She has a huge heart, and it shows in the way she treats her family, her friends, her customers, her community, and all of us at FTS.

So today, we get to celebrate HER. 🥳

Happy Birthday, Annette! We hope your day includes lots of laughs, some relaxation, time with the people and pups you love most, and maybe a little Green & Gold. 💚💛 We appreciate you more than you know!

Help us wish our funny, generous, Packers-loving leader a VERY Happy Birthday! 🎂🎉

Some things are just part of doing business in Wisconsin - and Packers football is definitely one of them. 💚💛🏈

The FTS team is ready for another season of cheering on the Green & Gold (even if it means letting 53 men we barely even know determine our Monday morning mood) 😂 We’re ready for the yelling at the TV, the questionable officiating opinions, and, of course, believing THIS is our year!

Here’s to the start of another season, a little friendly NFC North rivalry, and hopefully a Packers WIN today! 💚💛

GO PACK GO! 🏈💚💛

When you sponsor a golf hole, weather forecasting and conditions are also part of the job description. Thanks for the report Keli 🤣☀️

What a day on the course! ⛳️

We had an absolute blast yesterday at the HOTV Chamber of Commerce Annual Golf Outing at Royal St. Patrick’s Golf Links!

We were set up at Hole #7 with our always popular Plinko game, plenty of laughs, and LOTS of energy. And while we can’t officially confirm the rumors that we were the most fun hole on the course….we’re certainly not going to argue with them 😉😆

One of the best parts of the day was getting to meet so many people, catch up with old colleagues and friends, and enjoy a beautiful day with such a great group from our local business community.

Thank you to the HOTV Chamber for putting together another fantastic event and to everyone who stopped at Hole #7 to play Plinko, hang out, and have some fun with us!

Today we're celebrating Michelle's 2-year anniversary with Focused Transport Solutions! 🎉 🎉

For the past two years, Michelle has brought dedication, industry expertise, and an unwavering commitment to taking care of our customers. Whether she's finding creative transportation solutions, building strong carrier relationships, or going the extra mile to ensure every shipment is handled with care, she consistently represents what Focused Transport Solutions is all about.

Outside of the day-to-day, Michelle is always the first to volunteer for a team adventure, organize a little fun, or make sure everyone squeezes into the latest group selfie. Her positive attitude and team-first spirit make our workplace just as enjoyable as it is productive.

We're grateful to have Michelle as our Director of Truckload Operations and appreciate everything she does for our customers, carrier partners, and our team every day.

Please join us in congratulating Michelle on two amazing years with FTS! Here's to many more miles, memories, and selfies together! 🖤🧡
