Cumberland Container expanded its shipping fleet with the addition of two new Freightliner Cascadia tractors.  This increase brings its total shipping capabilities to 8 tractors outfitted with electronic logging and GPS, one box truck for smaller deliveries, more than 50 trailers and a team of expert drivers who all have over 20 years of driving experience.  The new Cascadia trucks are the first in Cumberland’s fleet to have automatic transmission and were purchased with the full array of the most advance safety technology. The new trucks complete the almost total replacement and upgrade of Cumberland’s fleet in less than 4 years.

“Getting our customers their packaging safely and on-time is very important to us,” said Phillip Key, shipping manager.  “Our management continues investing in our shipping capacity because on-time delivery is an investment in our customers’ success. Cumberland enjoys a 96%+ on time shipping record."

To help reboot the state’s economy, The Tennessee Pledge: Reopening Tennessee Responsibly was developed by Governor Bill Lee, the Unified Command Group (UCG) and Tennessee’s Economic Recovery Group (ERG) with input from health experts, state and local partners and business and industry leaders, and includes specific recommendations which enable most businesses to reopen responsibly without the burden of heavy mandates. 

Cumberland Container has remained open as an essential business during the pandemic and has always been committed to a safe working environment for its valued employees.  In a commitment to The Tennessee Pledge, Cumberland has taken steps to reduce the impact the COVID-19 virus could have on its operations by installing a state-of-the-art Power Breezer.  The Power Breezer uses evaporative technology and provides a dispersal mechanism to homogeneously vaporize recommended CDC water-soluble disinfectants, allowing Cumberland to sanitize its entire facility on a daily basis.
