Description
You've heard the euro box tangents for 300 episodes. Now hear the full story behind Poppleberry Logistics of Storrs, Connecticut — the real family business that somehow ended up doing apartment moves in Jerusalem. From a single flatbed truck in 1952 to a 47-truck regional powerhouse, from a nearly-fatal used truck scam to a 72-hour library move of 1.2 million books. Herman Poppleberry finally tells the saga his listeners have been demanding: the founding generation, the questionable decisions, the glory years, and the Haifa connection that turned into something nobody expected.
