Every year since 1963, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, recognizing the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.
As part of National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others from all 50 states and U.S. territories. Every day, they’re working to grow small businesses, create 21st century jobs, drive innovation, and increase America’s global competitiveness.
Logistics Plus was founded by a small business entrepreneur in 1996 and has been growing ever since. Today we are one of the fastest-growing privately-owned transportation and logistics companies in the country. Our founder, Jim Berlin, was recognized as a regional entrepreneur of the year in 2004 and is a lifetime member of the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® Hall of Fame. Not only did we start off as an entrepreneurial small business ourselves, we also proudly serve hundreds of small businesses by helping them manage their freight shipping and transportation.
Please join us in acknowledging entrepreneurs and small business owners across the country this week and for being truly a backbone to our economy. This year’s SBA theme is “Dream Big, Start Small.” Logistics Plus is truly an example of a company that started small and dreamed big. You can too.
