Shop Series: Transportation and Logistics

In this edition of our Shop Series, we’re excited to spotlight the dedicated EDA shop drivers and logistics team who keep our operations moving from shop to site.

Before most of the city wakes up, EDA’s shop drivers are already in motion. They are prepping trucks, loading gear, and hitting the road to ensure job sites run smoothly. While their work happens largely behind the scenes, it is a vital part of what keeps our projects on schedule and our field teams fully supported.

At the core of this operation is a tightly coordinated team. Field requests are routed through our shop email and reviewed by a collaborative trio: Ryan, Mike, and Wesley. They work together to communicate and organize daily assignments. Alongside the rest of the crew, they make sure materials are delivered safely, efficiently, and on time.

Meet the Team Behind the Wheel

With seven dedicated shop drivers and an intern supporting our three shop locations and an in-house mechanic keeping our fleet in top shape, EDA’s logistics crew operates with precision and reliability. This team is forklift certified, highly organized, and trained to manage tools, gear, and materials with care. Their attention to detail and deep knowledge of field needs help maintain the level of quality and consistency EDA is known for.

A Day in the Life

The day begins at 5 a.m. with pre-trip checks, loading, and coordination. From there, the drivers head out to project sites across the region, delivering materials and retrieving any unused gear. They remain on standby for urgent or last-minute requests, ensuring that even unexpected needs are handled quickly.

Their responsibilities also extend to prefab logistics, transporting custom-fabricated assemblies from our shop using 12 to 22 foot stake body trucks. Larger deliveries may require outside flatbeds, but the majority of our transport is handled in-house. This allows for better communication and greater control over the process.

The Value of In-House Logistics

Having a dedicated in-house driving team is more than just a logistical advantage. It is a strategic asset that supports quality control, minimizes errors, and ensures that every delivery reflects the standards EDA is built on. With familiar team members managing materials from shop to site, our clients can trust that every order is handled with care and precision.
