He succeeds James Staley, president and CEO of YRC Regional Transportation. ATRI is a non-profit research organization for the trucking industry.
  • Intelligrated has received a patent for technology incorporated into its IntelliSort sliding shoe sorter. The shoe design on the sorter accommodates either 20- or 30-degree angles. Diverting at a 30-degree angle saves on floor space, as the sorter occupies a smaller footprint. The contacting surface of the shoes also features a unique shape and contours that improve reliability and reduce jams.
