Gobble Gobble!

Well, we’ve all survived the ghosts, ghouls, and goblins. But can we survive … the food?!!! Yes, it’s Thanksgiving this month, or as we like to call it, “Gut-Busting Season,” as we, and everyone around us, scarfs down enough calories to feed an army. We have a solution though: Cranksgiving! At this annual event, folks can ride their bicycles while buying food for the needy, enabling us to burn off enough calories to justify the oncoming tryptophan stupor. Just don’t ask us to move the next day.

ComicCon Gone

It wasn’t even Halloween, but we were recently treated to the most amazing costume display short of a Hollywood historical epic. ComicCon was at the Javits center, and the streets around our office were full of people dressed in the most creative, goofy, outlandish garb possible. Thanks ComicCon! It was fun while it lasted, but it’s good be to back to basic, drab, sartorial black.

Fleet on the Street

Our customers know we have long had trucking services and logistic services. But, did you know that we also outsource fleet services? For when you need more than one vehicle to do the job, we can work with you with to coordinate multiple deliveries in the Metropolitan area or even between states. Contact our fleet/trucking services to see how fleet outsourcing can best serve your logistic needs.

Smoking a Havana

Breakaway Office Pundit AY recently went on vacation. That’s not unusual, but the destination was; he went to Cuba. He had an awesome time, except now he’s filling the office with cigar smoke. Hard to see the dispatch screen through the haze! 

Holiday Deliveries

Once the calorie-fest is complete, we turn our attention to another traditional holiday activity: shopping!  Consume, consume, consume! Get out there and buy! It’s good for the economy! You’ll grow three more inches! Happiness will be yours! And Breakaway will be there to help deliver all your purchases. Large or small, remember to call us when you have to ship the happiness item after it has been consumed…er…purchased.

 Happy Days 

We all know that November brings Thanksgiving, Veteran’s Day and Election Day.  But did you know that November 2nd is Fill our Staplers Day?  The 14th brings National Pickle Day, and more deliciousness arrives on the 20th with National Peanut Butter Fudge Day.  World Kindness Day on the 13th may be overshadowed on the 19th with Have a Bad Day Day, but we can close out the month with a smile by celebrating Stay Home Because You’re Well Day on the 30th.

Stump the Band

Last month we asked when and where the city’s first bicycle lane opened. Answer: The first dedicated bicycle lane in the U.S. was built back in 1894 on Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn.

 T-Shirt Question 

What are the Cuban government’s vehicles legally required to do while on the open road? The first one to call Gil Ortiz with the correct answer will win a coveted Breakaway T-shirt.
