From innovative shipping solutions to charitable initiatives, we take pride in using our transportation connections to help those in need. That\u2019s why, when Texas Health Action and <a href=\"https:\/\/kindclinic.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kind Clinic<\/a> reached out for assistance with a special shipment, we didn\u2019t hesitate to get involved.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Answering the Call for Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In early February, Juan Benitez, Chief Advancement Officer at Texas Health Action, contacted us with a special request. Kind Clinic, a leader in providing sexual health services to LGBTQIA+ communities and individuals impacted by HIV, was expanding its reach to Dallas with a new mobile testing van.<\/p>\n<p>The van, generously donated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomihealth.com\/gives-back\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nomi Charitable Foundation<\/a>, would allow Kind Clinic to bring critical services like HIV testing, PrEP and PEP access, and STI treatment to more people in need. First, though, they needed a way to get it from Austin to Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing our history of supporting Kind Clinic, Juan reached out to see if we could help.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;uShip has been a dedicated supporter of Kind Clinic for multiple years, with both its leadership and uShip staff members recognizing the direct impact Kind Clinic has in providing care to LGBTQIA+ communities and people impacted by HIV in Austin. As we continue to grow our Kind Business Partners program and engage companies that understand the importance of investing in local communities and expanding access to care, we\u2019re thrilled to have uShip as a key supporter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For us, the answer was an easy yes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Making It Happen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We called in the expertise of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ushiplogistics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">uShip Logistics<\/a> to find the right transporter for the job. That is where Richard from Primelight Transport stepped in. As a trusted carrier in our network, he was more than happy to take on the mission.<\/p>\n<p>On moving day, Richard picked up the 2021 Freightliner Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van in Austin. By that evening, it had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kindclinic\/reel\/DGim-IOuiz9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safely arrived in Dallas<\/a>, ready to hit the road and start serving the community. Thanks to the smooth transport process, Kind Clinic was able to put the van to work immediately, helping more people access life-saving healthcare without delay.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DGim-IOuiz9\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DGim-IOuiz9\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Kind Clinic (@kindclinic)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;When it came time to expand our mobile testing program to Dallas with a newly renovated van, we knew we could count on uShip to help us transport it from Austin safely and efficiently,&#8221; said Juan Benitez. &#8220;Not only did they step up to ensure the van arrived securely so we could immediately put it to work in the community, but the process was also seamless and stress-free.
