CHARLOTTE, NC (March 19, 2026) – Carolina Handling, the exclusive Raymond Solutions and Support Center for North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida’s central time zone, has launched a new podcast that explores the leadership decisions and operational strategies that shape resilient supply chains.

Hosted by Carolina Handling President & CEO Brent Hillabrand and Chief Operating Officer Joe Perkins, Handled It: The Supply Chain Podcast goes beyond pallets and boxes to examine leadership, culture, data, automation, and operational strategy through conversations grounded in real experience. Associates from various departments at Carolina Handling join the conversation.

“Over the last few years, I have had this belief that our thought leadership extends beyond just our industry. We have an opportunity to share how we have handled a variety of topics with a broader audience. I am excited about how Handled It will speak to almost anyone who is looking for answers in their business or wanting to learn more about leadership and the supply chain,” said Carolina Handling Chief Operating Officer, Joe Perkins.

The episodes will review questions that are top of mind for business leaders, including: 

• How do I know if I’m buying real solutions or the latest trend?
• Are we automating too much, not enough, or in the wrong places?
• How do I build a resilient operation?
• Is poor space utilization causing congestion and lost performance?
• What should I be preparing for in the next few years that no one is talking about?

Each episode is designed to deliver practical insights that listeners can apply in their own organizations. The first episode reflects on six decades of change in material handling and intralogistics as Carolina Handling celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2026.

Listeners can subscribe to Handled It to receive every new episode.
