​The marketing team at Nelson Company has two remarkable reasons to celebrate as we wind down 2022.

Earlier this month, the staff at Pallet Enterprise and WoodView Media Company named Nelson Company as one of their top 5 picks for best US pallet company websites for 2022. This year also marked the 20-year anniversary of our partnership with the talented web group that helps to keep us ahead of the pack.

If you read my last post, The strangest things buzz along on pallets, you learned that honey bees can come and go as they please from the hive boxes loaded on the truck. The exceptions are:
  1. Bees will stay in boxes if they are moving

​Do you ever find yourself driving on the highway looking at all the different trucks stuffed with pallets. Do you wonder what they are carrying and where are they going? No? Just me? Try it sometime. It's fun.

In fact, try it right now. Take a look at this photo I snapped in traffic and take your best guess:
