Interstate Hosts Flint Hill Elementary School Field Trip

(Springfield, VA) As a part of Interstate's continuing school-business partnership with Flint Hill Elementary School in Vienna, Virginia, Interstate hosted a field trip for 96 second graders.

The children arrived at the facility in the morning, eager to learn. COO, Bud Morrissette and Marketing Manager, Maureen Cameron guided the students through the company's headquarters. They toured the warehouse and the "Talking Training House," and explored a tractor-trailer, making sure to honk the horn on their way out! The field trip concluded with a pizza lunch and souvenirs of their visit.

Established in 1943 and headquartered in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, the Interstate family of companies today comprises a worldwide group of relocation management, transportation and logistic entities. Interstate actively supports the Fairfax County Public Schools by serving as a school-business partner with numerous local schools, as well as serving as the FCPS's sponsor of Smart campaign. Interstate, the second largest carrier for the U.S. Military, servicing over 12,000 moves for the service members annually, is a three-time winner of the U.S. Department of Defense's Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Quality Award. Interstate maintains the distinction of being the only carrier to ever win this prestigious honor, and becomes the only organization to win the award three times. Interstate's experience and attention to details contributed to Interstate receiving ISO 9001:2000 certification for all entities and all facilities.
