One of the many unique characteristics of our amazing team is that in a male-dominated industry, we have so many women on Team CTE. Even more impressive? Many of these hard-working women are also mothers. They come into CTE every day, often after hours of already working on getting their children fed and off to…

Our industry is experiencing a time like no other. Shipping delays have been the topic in the news for the last several months due to a variety of reasons.
