Shipping Giant Steel Crates Puzzle Freight Chief
Jake Hoover, general freight manager for a steel company, solves colossal transport challenges across rail, road, water, and air.

He rethinks routes to clear curves, shifts loads onto middle cars, or launches gates into rivers to survive hurricanes and keep critical projects on track. Hoover continues seeking the next impossible shipment to master.
