From a chance meeting to a huge opportunity, this is the story of Hope White and H.D. White Logistics in Metter, Georgia.

Some of the world’s most successful businesses start with a question. "Why doesn’t it work” was a question that propelled Steve Jobs and Apple to create great smartphones. In Georgia, Hope White asked, “Where in the heck are all of these containers coming from?”. That question started her down the path of building H.D. White Logistics in Metter, Georgia.

Hope drew on her experience working with a Fortune 500 and began researching the transportation and logistics industry opportunities. She attended industry events and began to connect with the right people in her local community and across the state.

This interview from Georgia Power’s Community & Economic Development’s “2 Minute Win” series offers a quick look into Hope White’s journey to success.
