Why Lebanon is the right room for this

A growth town with a distribution spine and a residential build-out that's running flat out.

Lebanon is one of the fastest-changing towns in central Indiana. I-65 access, the LEAP innovation district build-out on the west side, and Boone County's residential growth on the east side have stacked three different working economies on top of each other: distribution and warehousing, construction, and residential trade-service.

The LEAP corridor alone has driven a wave of distribution-center development that did not exist five years ago. Each of those facilities employs a roster of warehouse workers, equipment operators, fleet mechanics, and maintenance staff whose bodies are on concrete floors for 10 hours a day. The injury profile is predictable: lower-back strain from repetitive lifting, shoulder issues from overhead reaching, lower-extremity fatigue from concrete, knee and hip problems that accumulate over years.

Layer on top of that the construction crews building out the residential side of Boone County, the HVAC and plumbing contractors serving that new housing stock, and the fleet-maintenance shops supporting the distribution layer, and Lebanon's working economy looks a lot like what our model was designed for. Our HQ is roughly 40 minutes east in Noblesville. We already make the drive west on SR-32 and the surrounding corridors for operators we know personally in this part of the region.

Who we work with in Lebanon

The industries where our model pays for itself fastest.

Distribution centers and warehouse operations

This is the natural fit. The LEAP corridor and the I-65 / SR-39 interchange commercial belt have driven a buildout of distribution and third-party-logistics facilities that did not exist five years ago. The workforce on those floors is doing exactly the work our model was built for: repetitive lifting, overhead reaching, long hours on concrete, equipment operation that grinds at the lower back and shoulders. A monthly on-site visit catches what would otherwise become a comp claim or a quit.

Residential construction crews

Boone County is growing fast on the eastern side, and the framing, roofing, concrete, and finish carpentry crews building out that housing stock are running flat-out. The bodies on those crews are doing 10-hour days on uneven ground, often lifting weight that comes in unpredictable sizes. Soft-tissue and lower-back injuries are the dominant cost driver.

HVAC and plumbing serving the residential boom

Every new house in Boone County is on somebody's service plan within 12 months of move-in. The HVAC and plumbing crews running those calls spend their days crawling under decks, climbing into attics, and bending over water heaters in basements. Lumbar strain and rotator cuff fatigue are the dominant injury patterns. A monthly visit at the shop catches the pattern early.

Fleet maintenance for distribution operations

The distribution operations along I-65 need fleets that run. The mechanics keeping those fleets on the road develop a specific cluster of shoulder, neck, and lower-back issues from working under vehicles all day. Short, frequent corporate visits at the shop, fitted around the maintenance schedule, address the pattern without fighting the workflow.

The Lebanon fit

What an engagement looks like for a Lebanon-headquartered company.

If your shop, facility, or office sits anywhere in Lebanon proper (downtown, the SR-32 corridor, the I-65 / SR-39 interchange commercial belt, the LEAP corridor on the west side), Dr. McCarley arrives roughly 40 minutes after leaving HQ in Noblesville. Lebanon is on the western perimeter of our service area, but we do not bill travel time for engagements inside the standard boundary. The first on-site visit is typically scheduled within two weeks of signing the one-page proposal.

Lebanon engagements settle into a recurring cadence in the same window each cycle. We coordinate with your operations lead around shift schedules, lunch breaks, or natural lulls in the day. For distribution centers with early-morning starts, we'll talk about how the visit window can match that operating reality (more on that in the FAQ below).

Cadence options

Cadence is custom to the team: weekly, biweekly, or monthly.

If your roster runs over 40 employees, or your work is unusually demanding (heavy warehouse loading, overnight shifts, high-volume fleet maintenance), biweekly cadence often pencils better. We run that math on the fit call. The decision lives in your hands.

What we will not do: push you into a higher cadence than the work justifies. If a monthly visit covers the team's needs, that is the price we quote. Dr. McCarley runs his own P&L and is not going to upsell yours.

Local context

We come out of the same rooms most Lebanon owners do.

Dr. McCarley is an active member of several Indiana operator communities that span Hamilton County and into Boone County: Bowls & Business, the Hamilton County Fish & Game Association, and the Experimental Aircraft Association (Chapter 67). He is also a member of Radiant Christian Life Church in Westfield. Lebanon and Boone County operators show up in those rooms more often than the geography would suggest.

If you operate a business in Lebanon and you have not crossed paths with one of those groups yet, the path to a fit call is the same. We meet you where you are.

Lebanon-specific FAQ

The questions Lebanon owners ask first.

We're a Lebanon distribution center. Can the visit accommodate 80+ employees?

Yes, with structural choices. Eighty employees on a single monthly visit is on the higher end of what a two-hour window can absorb. We'd likely propose either a longer visit window, a biweekly cadence so each two-week block covers part of the roster, or a structure where the visit aligns with shift handover so two shifts share access. We'll run that math on the fit call.

Most of our workforce is on concrete floors 10 hours a day. Is that exactly your fit?

Yes. That injury profile (lower-extremity fatigue, plantar issues, knee and hip strain, lumbar compression from extended standing) is precisely what a frequent, short on-site visit addresses well. The fix isn't dramatic and it isn't slow: it's a steady cadence of adjustment work that keeps the cumulative damage from compounding into a comp claim or a quit. Distribution and warehouse rosters are among the cleanest fits we see for the model.

Lebanon's on the far western edge of your service area. Travel surcharge?

No surcharge for engagements inside our standard service area, and Lebanon is inside that boundary (US-421 / Michigan Road is the western line). What we will tell you honestly: Lebanon is among the longer drives we make, so we want to be sure the fit is real before we sign a standing engagement. We're not going to drive 80 minutes round-trip every month for a roster the model doesn't fit.

We're a small Lebanon construction outfit. Same fit as a bigger warehouse client?

Same model, different math. Ten employees is the floor for the engagement to pencil. Above that, construction and warehouse rosters get equivalent attention because the injury patterns are similar in shape, even if the work looks different. The structure of the visit (one host site, a single visit window, recurring cadence) is the same. The cadence flex we offer above 40 employees applies equally to either lane.

Are you familiar with the safety expectations of working in a third-party-logistics facility?

We're not your safety officer and we don't run your safety committee. What we know is the injury pattern those facilities produce and how to work inside the building rules: PPE where required, escort and badge protocols, dock-area boundaries, MHE traffic awareness. We come in, set up in a quiet room off the floor, run the visit window, and leave. We coordinate with your safety lead on access and any specific protocol your facility requires.

Our crews start at 5 a.m. Can you accommodate an early-morning visit window?

Yes, we've done early-morning visit windows for operators whose workday starts before the sun is up. Dr. McCarley can be on-site at 6 a.m. or earlier when the engagement requires it. We'd want to coordinate that on the fit call so the drive in from Noblesville is realistic on the days the visit happens. Early-morning windows are particularly clean for distribution operations because the crew is fresh and the floor is at its quietest.
