OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Warehouse space in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky is scarce, expensive, and locked into multi-year leases — so how do the region's biggest operations keep freight moving? Dr. Mark Mann talks with Kelly McCane, GM at FITS Trailer Rentals, about the "warehouse on wheels" model that's quietly powering one of North America's most critical freight hubs.
Home to CVG (the 6th-largest cargo airport on the continent), the $1.5B Amazon Air Hub, and the DHL Global Super Hub, the Ohio Valley runs on tight margins and even tighter space. Kelly breaks down how mobile storage trailers help companies avoid demurrage and detention fees, dodge expensive warehouse leases, and flex instantly when 152 rail containers show up early.
In this episode:
- The "where, when, and how long" of warehouse space problems
- Scaling from 20 to 95 trailers in 7 days
- Cutting $160K/year in port demurrage charges
- Warehouse lease vs. mobile storage: the real cost-per-square-foot math
- Keeping warehouse crews safe in peak season — and the strangest things ever stored in a trailer
A must-listen for supply chain pros, warehouse managers, logistics leaders, and anyone curious how global commerce moves on the ground in the Tri-State.
