The six bays of the Salem stockroom

What the stockroom supplies

DRT Workwear LLC keeps six working bays under one roof. Each one covers a job trade crews bring to us week after week, from a single coverall to a full crew launch.

Supplying trade crews, bay by bay

The stockroom is not arranged like a shop. It is arranged like the floor of a working supply house, where each bay holds the cloth, the bench and the habits for a specific job. A foreman can arrive with a crew list and a logo file and leave knowing exactly which bay will handle each part of the order.

Every service below is delivered from the Salem stockroom at 1358 S 500 E, Salem - 84653-5300, United States (US). Call +16319083631 and the person who answers can tell you what is on the shelf today rather than what a distant warehouse hopes to ship next week.

Coveralls and Overalls

The coverall bay is the first thing a visitor sees. Full-body coveralls and bib overalls hang here by size, sorted so a crew lead can pull a full set without climbing a ladder or opening ten boxes. We stock reinforced knees, taped seams and bib pockets deep enough for a pencil, a small notebook and a pair of gloves. The garments are chosen for the way trade work actually destroys cloth: kneeling on rough concrete, dragging across a truck bed, catching on rebar.

We keep both lighter summer weights and heavier lined versions, because a single crew often needs both across the year. When a worker asks for a size that sits between two stock sizes, we tell them honestly and offer the closest reliable fit rather than a guess. Every coverall leaves the stockroom inspected at the stress points, and the bay is restocked after each delivery so the shelf never thins out quietly.

Hi-Vis Safety Layers

Hi-vis vests, jackets, shirt layers and seasonal outer layers are folded on the uniform shelf by class and colour. The tape is stitched flat rather than spot-attached, so the reflective band stays put through washing, folding and the friction of a long shift. Crews who work night shifts, loading docks, roadway jobs or busy yards depend on this bay, and we treat the tape as a safety component rather than a decorative stripe.

We stock the common colour pairs and the sizes that go missing most often, and we keep a short reserve so a torn vest does not leave a worker without a layer until the next delivery. If a crew needs a specific layer for a site rule, we record it on the roster and hold the correct item with the crew name attached. Visibility should never depend on whether a shelf was restocked in time.

Custom Logo Stitching

The stitch bay holds the hoops and the thread, and it is where a plain jacket becomes a crew jacket. Logos are stitched at the chest, sleeve or back panel, matching the artwork and thread colour you supply. We check every mark against the file before the garment is bagged, and we look at it again once it is on a body, because a logo that looks straight on a hanger can sit crooked on a shoulder.

Name badges, crew initials and small side marks are handled at the same bench. For larger runs we plan the stitching in batches so the order moves evenly and no single garment is rushed. If an artwork file needs a small adjustment to stitch cleanly at a given size, we say so before the run begins rather than after the first dozen are sewn. Nothing leaves the room until the mark sits straight.

Crew Uniform Programs

A crew uniform program is the long form of every other service. We record the roster, hold the agreed stock, stitch the logos and refill the gaps as new hires arrive or a garment wears out. Instead of ordering from scratch whenever the team grows, you call once and we check the record against the shelf. The program keeps sizes consistent across the year and stops a crew from drifting into mismatched layers as people join and leave.

The program starts with a walk through the stockroom and an honest conversation about what has failed in the past. From there we set a standing order, a refill rhythm and a single contact who knows the crew by name. Larger teams get a written schedule, smaller teams get a reliable phone number. Either way the aim is the same: every worker in the right size, in the right colour, without a scramble before a site start.

Seasonal Layer Exchanges

As the year turns, heavy layers come back to the shelf and lighter ones go out to the crews. The seasonal exchange is planned ahead of the weather so no shift waits on a season change, and it is scheduled around the crew calendar rather than when a box happens to arrive. Returned garments are checked, cleaned and counted before they rejoin the stock, and anything beyond repair is retired and replaced from the shelf.

We keep a simple record of what each crew holds in each season, which makes the next exchange faster and more accurate. A team that added three workers in spring does not discover in autumn that the winter jackets were ordered for last year head count. The exchange is a small piece of logistics that quietly keeps a working crew comfortable and visible through every change in the year.

Bulk Trade Orders

Larger contractors hire in waves and need a full crew outfitted quickly, often across more than one site. Bulk trade orders move through the same bays as smaller ones, just on a longer bench and a tighter schedule. Sizes are sorted by site so the van is loaded once and delivered ready to hand out, rather than arriving as a single pile that has to be sorted at the gate after a long day.

We confirm quantities against the crew list before the run begins, stitch the logos in planned batches and check each parcel against a site name. If one site starts earlier than another, the delivery is split so the first crew is not held up waiting for the second. Bulk work is still hand-checked, because the point of a larger order is not speed at any cost but a whole crew that is actually ready on the first morning.

How an order moves through the bays

The process is deliberately plain. A crew brings a list, a logo and a start date, and the stockroom turns those into a bagged, sorted delivery. The four steps below apply whether the order is ten garments or a full site launch.

Step one

Walk and record

We meet at the stockroom, walk the bays and record the roster, the trades and the sizes that keep being missed.

Step two

Pull and stitch

Garments are pulled from the right bay, then logos and badges are stitched and inspected at the bench.

Step three

Fold and sort

Finished kits are creased on the fold table, counted against the roster and bagged by crew member.

Step four

Deliver and refill

The van is loaded by site, delivered ready to hand out, and the standing refill keeps the shelf honest.
