Businesses are always on the lookout for ways to operate more efficiently. Any business offering physical products to its customers runs into a dilemma. How and where does one store them after they’re manufactured? Depending on the product, the amount of space required can be daunting, so the warehouse management system was born. Warehousing allows […]
Spring has sprung, flowers are growing and so are we! When BYX was founded in 1978, the company was run out of the back of a single pickup truck. By the time we took on Hewlett Packard as a client in the 80s, we had outgrown pickups and added tractors and bobtails to our fleet. […]
If you’ve tried to arrange a large shipment, you’ve probably run into ads for freight brokers. A freight broker is a person or company that acts as the middleman between shippers and carriers. They find the carrier, arrange the shipment and track the load hauled. But is all that really necessary? The answer is a […]
When Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson rolled out the first COVID-19 vaccines in December, most of us breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that vaccines would be offered in stages, and we expected senior citizens, high-risk individuals, and essential workers to be given first priority. (As they should!)

Equality in the workplace has been an issue for as long as equality has been an issue. In other words, forever. The years since Martin Luther King gave his famous speech and Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus have trickled by, but race is just as important a topic today […]

Trucking produces a substantial quantity of […]
Being a truck driver is awesome. No joke. Truck drivers are essential workers. They help keep this country running in every way. They deliver products that other businesses wouldn’t be able to function without. Truck drivers are a little like screws; most of the time, we don’t notice they’re there. But if they weren’t, everything […]
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again; at BYX, we’re a family. Over 40 years ago, our freight company was built on family values. Dedication to serving our community is part of our DNA. This December, we were thrilled to be featured by Shoutout LA. In an exclusive interview, BYX owner Jay Newjahr […]
Driving is a part of daily life for most adults, but it’s also one of the most dangerous. In the US, three million people are injured in car accidents each year, with around six million accidents in total. Of those accidents, a frightening 33% are caused by road rage.

At BYX, having our entire staff in one place doesn’t happen every day. In addition to managing multiple departments, our drivers spend most of their workday out of the office and on the road. Because of this, we’ve been taking deliberate steps to develop a sense of team unity since day one. It’s just part […]
