B&E Storage’s site at Point Breeze offers 350,000 square feet of space and provides seamless routes to the Port of Baltimore. The building also affords the company important rail access.
and tracking software universal so everyone can track shipments no matter their language or location.
Out in the warehouse, B&E keeps moving with 30 pieces of warehouse equipment and two full-time mechanics keeping them tuned. Between the B&E trucking fleet and partnering carriers, the warehouse handles about 150 loads on a typical day. The warehouse’s location adjacent to the Seagirt
and Dundalk Marine Terminals and the team’s agility allows them to pivot quickly and handle last-minute requests from customers, according to Beth Plews, who runs the accounting department.
“We can take a call from a customer with a container on the terminal that needs to be removed at the last minute,” Plews said. “We can grab it
for them and keep it in our facility until they can arrange their next move.”
Plews and her sister Robin Spence have been with B&E since the 1990s. They have seen the company grow
from a small family business to a 45-employee enterprise.
“I am proud to be part of this,” said Spence. “I feel like we have all grown together.” 􏰀
