PACKAGING
" I just saw so much dishonesty, whether it
was from a carrier telling where they were
and issues that they were having or even
people that were talking to customers and
telling them situations. Nothing was ever
really transparent. "
- NICOLE GLENN, CANDOR EXPEDITE FOUNDER AND CEO
packaging, picks up the boxes, cleans and conditions them,
and puts them back into circulation.
" No one's ever going to throw raw lettuce in there. It's
always going to be boxed, " Glenn said. " That way our boxes
can keep their integrity and we're not concerned, after we
clean them, that there could be any contamination. "
ENTERPRISING FUTURE
Candor, which also has offices in Joliet, Illinois and
Kansas City, Kansas, currently operates a ship-and-return
facility in Dallas, with plans to add locations in Orlando,
Miami, Seattle and Chicago, Glenn said.
" Before the end of 2024, we're going to have seven
different locations across the country, " Glenn said.
" We'll just keep building out to all the major metros,
allowing us to have the flexibility and reducing those
legs of transportation. "
Candor has drawn interest from some large companies,
Glenn said, with one of the packaging manufacturers
signing on as an investor.
" If we have a strong business base and some great
customers under our belt, that funding will come even
easier, " she said. " Over time, it will become more and more
cost-effective and more and more sustainable. We just have
to keep building out that network of customers. "
If that sounds ambitious, that's just fine with Glenn: " I
have some pretty big, audacious goals, " she said.
She talks about those goals and other subjects on the
Ladies Leadership Coalition podcast she's hosted for three
years with five other women who own logistics businesses
and regularly serves as a conference keynote speaker.
" I get emails from women that say, 'Hey I just wanted to
let you know that I asked for that promotion (after) your
speaking engagement,' " Glenn said. " If I can do that - if I
can get one person to make an impact on their life - then
hell yeah. It's so cool. "
