Message from the Claims Desk 2.21.17

Good Morning Stewart Family,

This past Monday our country celebrated its 138th Presidents Day. This holiday was created following George Washington’s death in 1799 and initially celebrated on his birthday February 22. Although Washington’s Birthday was an unofficial observance for most of the 1800s, it was not until 1879 that it became a federal holiday. In the late 1960s Congress proposed a measure know as the Uniform Monday Holiday Act which shifted the celebration of several Federal Holidays to land on Mondays. The intention was to create more three day weekends for workers and bolster retail sales. So as we remember the presidents that created the policies that shaped our country, let’s remember our policies that shape our warehouses.

This week, with our continuation of DTR month, we review the military’s requirements for shipments in SIT.

So let’s all focus on protecting our customer’s property while in our warehouse, as well as making sure that we are following the regulations put in place by the military.

Cheers,

Robert Wright
