Meet our friendly mascot, J.J. Baloo
What our tagline "From Grizzly to Panda, We Track it All" means
Picture this: You're sending out mail and parcels left, right, and center. Some are big, like a grizzly bear lumbering through the forest, while others are small and nimble, like a panda munching on bamboo. Well, guess what? With BearTracks, we've got you covered, no matter the size, shape, or location of your package!
How did I get my name — J.J. Baloo
Well, my face resembles one of our dear colleagues, J.J. 😉 Of course, the name J.J. is gender-neutral as well. As for Baloo, it comes from the Jungle Book, a Hindi word for 'bear.'
So, here I am, J.J. Baloo, embodying our diversity, inclusivity, and minority-owned business status. I represent the unbeatable spirit of the 'BearTracks bears' — a culture of innovation and enthusiasm for top-of-the-line, premium products and services.
Welcome to our den!
