A Vietnam War veteran (honorable discharge), Chip’s career in the tradeshow transportation business started back in the late 70s. He quickly realized that the common carriers were damaging tradeshow shipments in their handling to and from the shows; refurbishing costs were off the charts. To address this issue, he introduced specialized air ride carrier shipping (Van Lines), reducing a lot of the damage caused by bumps and shock. Although the shipping cost was higher when using air ride technology, transportation damage was all but eliminated. He convinced major corporations and exhibit houses to see the value of combining air ride transportation, logistics, and creativity together; and this process is still used successfully today.
Chip started C&R Logistics to ensure that tradeshow clients received the specialized services they needed at cost-effective prices. Having been in the business for so long, he understands the unique challenges involved with shipping tradeshow exhibits and high value products. He uses his experience to ensure that timelines are met, shipments arrive on time, and that customers are happy with the process.
One of his claims to fame: 30 years ago, Chip receive a call for help from the Jewish Historical Society to move an exhibit on the life story of Jackie Robinson, the 1st black baseball player to make it to the big leagues. The exhibit consisted of a full tractor trailer and needed to get to the Statute of Liberty. The island itself had a lift capable of lifting both the tractor and trailer, but the challenge was how to get them to the island. After a lot of thought, Chip decided to call a barge company in New York that could lift the tractor and trailer onto a barge, float the barge over to the Statue, and reverse the process to retrieve it at the end. They were able to pull it off and the exhibit arrived on time. Later, he returned to pack the exhibit up and removed it off the island, once again on time.
