    Is it true that Dana Transport is taking over the dry-bulk account for Poland Spring Water in Maine?

    What does a water company use that is a dry bulk commodity? Dana has a lot of dry bulk in terms of plastics and stuff but I wasn’t aware they were doing food grade dry bulk . Does Poland manufacture their own bottles ?

    Yes, they make their own bottles in some of the plants.

    Did you go by their largest plant in Hollis, or one of the other smaller ones?

    We flew into Portland , rented a car and spent three days driving up the coast looking at lighthouses and then took backroads , ( really backroads , some were dirt )over to New Hampshire and looked at covered bridges for three days .

    Would love to go back again .

    This is a pretty decent part of the country, but we're dealing with the aftermath of a small snow storm here today.
    Safe travels to you.

    If Ronnie Dana’s operation has its claws into the operation it’s curtains for anyone else. I’ve seen him run rates to the ground to drive other competitors out then jack the rates on the customers once he’s killed the competition. He has deep pockets and a laser focus on lanes/business he wants. That’s why he brought Suttles Truck Leasing, to get at their permits for hazardous waste
