Thank you to Kyle, Joe, Mike and Jeff at Quantix for talking about what they do and giving us a tour. Quantix is a warehouse, and plastic is shipped all over the world from their Porter Avenue facility, including along the railroad. We had an opportunity to see plastic as pellets, before it is used to make products. We heard about the different jobs that go into operating the warehouse, including fork lift drivers and dispatchers, as well as the truck drivers who transport the products. We were told about how sanitary conditions must remain, so it doesn't damage or contaminate the plastic.
