Cargo the Dog, Gets a Blog

Not to state the obvious, but the world has gone crazy. Now don't worry, I am not about to start ranting about my views on gluten free organic vegetables or ten dollar pumpkin spiced lattes. But I do think we can all agree that something has to give. Now let me back up and start from the beginning. I am a dog-yes a dog. My name is Cargo and I am an American Pitbull Terrier. And about six months ago, I quit my mind numbing 9 to 5. The very next day I see an ad for a job opening. The ad reads "Looking for an honest, loyal mascot to be the face of Pitbull Containers." Long story short, I got the job. But the reason I took the job is the real story. These people at Pitbull Containers want to make a change. The small office runs on hard work and integrity. Yes, we sell shipping containers-but it is so much more than that. We build affordable housing for people who could only dream of home ownership. We want to show the world that getting back to basics is the only lifeline. We want to scale the idea and pave the road to end homelessness one container at a time. We don't stop at homes, we build offices, sheds, and storage. We have so many exciting things happening that I wanted to start a blog. From our hilarious employees, our awesome customers, and our brand new dog house, I've got plenty to share. Watch out for my next post and I'll show you some pictures of our new dog house!

Pitbull Containers..... All About Shipping Containers

I grew up in Mobile Alabama. Mobile sits on the Gulf of Mexico and the Mobile Bay. As a youth I used to watch cargo ships come into the port of Mobile, loaded with thousands of containers on board. Now I'm in the business of selling cargo containers. Who would have thought? There are basically two types of containers. Steel and Aluminum. Steel containers are for sea going shipments, and aluminum is used for domestic shipments. But did you you realize that shipping containers have a wide variety of uses. That's what this blog is really all about. I want to introduce you to the variety of uses for the seabox. Keep in mind that containers are some of the best engineered designs known to mankind. Just look around in the room you are sitting and realize that at some point,most of the items in the room where once shipped in a cargo container. So if its strong enough to ship cars from Japan to the US. Its strong enough to store construction materials on job site.
