Logistics Plus Attends U.S. Department of Defense Annual Forum

Logistics Plus Attends U.S. Department of Defense Annual Forum

Blaine Kurtz, director of aerospace and defense for Logistics Plus, attended the NDTA U.S. Department of Defense Annual Transportation & Logistics Forum last week to further introduce Logistics Plus to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) community, and to deepen our involvement within the aerospace and defense industry.  The annual forum provides an opportunity for USDOD service providers to meet with high level and grassroots transportation and logistics government personnel. The USDOD presents their “state of the union” on defense topics, their needs for near and future requirements, and provides a setting for service providers to offer and discuss their solutions. The event was attended by approximately 600 service providers and 600 USDOD participants. Shown below is a photograph of the forum exhibit hall and the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff for the USDOD.

Reference Letter for Logistics Plus

To Whom It May Concern,

Hello, I am writing to provide a reference for Logistics Plus (LP).

I am a licensed Customs Broker who has worked in the field of Trade Compliance and Logistics for over 30 years.  During that time, I have worked for Customs Brokerage and Freight Forwarding firms, third party logistics (3PL) firms, and finally for the last 17 years for a Fortune 500 company.

I have worked with LP in multiple capacities since 2001.  I have personally witnessed expertly handled global logistics services in complicated, high-stress environments and set up of teams around the world to manage complex and demanding business needs which include logistics management, warehousing, export services, and all aspects of Customs related activity.

I have known Jim Berlin, the founder, President, and CEO of Logistics Plus for almost 20 years.  His passion for his people, excellence in execution, and hard work are reflected in every aspect of the business.

LP is an “out of the box” full-service provider with a dedicated leadership team and operational staff. Putting the customer first along with the can-do attitude and fearless management of all types of transactions has brought the company success.  This is evidenced by LP’s continued growth and extensive footprint.

I would highly recommend LP as a provider for all logistics and trade-related needs.
