It became so successful so quickly. Incorporated in 1995, the company operates chiefly out of 200,000 square feet of warehouse space and 80 acres off DeMott Street in the village of Lacona. Stacked high in the main warehouse are bundles of mostly forest-related product, such as photography paper and pulp. Laser Transit's customers store product there, and sometimes ask for it to be shipped to another location. Other times, the customer will send its own truck to pick up the product.
Product is moved, or transported, via tractor-trailer trucks, or by rail.
Part of the main warehouse is heated, enabling Joyce to store temperature-sensitive items, such as photography paper. He's turned the building's mezzanine into storage space also. Laser Transit Inc. stores, moves, and tracks inventory like the paper products for companies throughout the United States and Canada. Among the company's 50 or so employees are truck drivers, accountants, sales people, warehouse workers, and those who coordinate a myriad of services for distribution companies. As society becomes more mobile and technologically advanced, so has the transportation industry.
