Samson is by far the largest member of our team. At just over 9 tons, he carries the weight of the pantry on his shoulders...or at the very least on his wheel base. His impressive full figure 20’ box with liftgate attachment has the ability to move 8 pallets or up to 16,000 lbs. in one load.

Monday, March 16, was a mad scramble to convert Resurrection Life Food Pantry, one of WNY’s largest food pantries from a “client choice” pantry to a pre-packed drive-thru, and we had less than 24 hours to accomplish this.In the middle of the scramble I received a call that my 83-year-old father would not make it much longer.
