Description


  1. Tell us about your background and how RK Logistics was started. What is the company's focus today and what primary industries do you serve? What do you see as the key attributes that differentiate RK from other 3PLs?

  2. Describe a Foreign Trade Zone and what the benefits are for a customer. Are more companies taking advantage of FTZs as an alternative to ordinary warehousing?

  3. What kinds of systems and technology are at work in RK warehouses now? Does this technology improve efficiency?

  4. What are some of your biggest challenges (employee retention, availability of space, other changes in Silicon Valley??)

  5. Do you have plans for expansion or other changes in the near future?

  6. With the federal government's CHIPS act and the Infrastructure Investment Act, those landmark legislative initiatives are providing major funds for US semiconductor manufacturing and the electrification of the US economy. What does that mean for 3PLs and how do they need to prepare, particularly with respect to supporting EV manufacturing?
