It is with great relief and happiness that I am writing this letter where Logistics Plus team members helped our company complete the shipment clearance and delivery to various Distribution Line sites in Uganda since January 2018. The contribution and dedication of their team has been worthy of special praise. The importation into Africa can be complicated. This is especially when oversea vendor paperwork is late with errors, shipment arrived without PVOC, or duty exemption being delayed from authority, along with many other types of unexpected challenges. However, the Logistics Plus team constantly stands by our side and worked out solutions to ensure minimum impact to our project date line. We will not hesitate to recommend their services to those who need a reliable and honest logistics services provider.
Farah William International Operations Specialist It was this last piece of the puzzle that we feared would bring down the castle walls. Like everything else we knew nothing about importing or shipping. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to have been referred to Logistics Plus Inc. and by name to Farah William, International Operations Specialist. Farah understood our lack of experience and immediately set about making sure everything was in order. She not only explained the process, but turned it into a great learning experience! This could have been a total disaster had it not been for Farah, but instead it went flawlessly. So, if you ever need products shipped anywhere in the world contact Logistics Plus Inc., and specifically Farah William.
The Logistics Plus Project Cargo team has successfully shipped a 4,000 freight ton shiplift and transfer system from Iskenderun, Turkey to Shuaiba, Kuwait. The shipment was broken down into three platform sections, each weighing more than 100 metric tons each.
With the help of the Erie County Department of Health and the Northwest Pennsylvania Tobacco Control Program, Logistics Plus has successfully implemented a smoking cessation program for employees. Over the past several months, members from the Department of Health have conducted weekly meetings and lunch discussions to offer tips and suggestions to stop smoking. Employees who participated were provided with charts, questionnaires, and brochures that helped with setting goals and tracking progress as people began their smoke-free journey.
The Erie County Department of Health provided constant support and a point of contact for any questions or concerns our employees had during this process. As a result, Logistics Plus is happy to announce that multiple employees in the program are now two and three months smoke-free! As a fast-growing, global company, Logistics Plus understands the importance of our employees health and lifestyles. Congratulations to all of our employees who are making progress in their journey towards a smoke-free lifestyle!
