I just wanted to get back to you to let you know about my recent experience with Logistics Plus.  As you know, I was expecting a critical delivery of 4 pallets this past Tuesday when I reached out to you for a tracking number.  I was contacted by Logistics Plus the next day and they accepted full responsibility for messing things up on their end and they said they would do everything in their power to help me out.  I was surprised to receive a message from them that I will be receiving the shipment the next day (Wednesday) and I was even more surprised when it actually showed up at 9am.  WOW! Needless to say, the 4 pallets were the only thing on the truck!   All companies make mistakes and do not always deliver to their standards.  But very few companies these days put the customer’s needs first they way Logistic Plus did.  In the big pitcher, they likely took a loss on this one delivery, but they so impressed me, I want them to work for us.  I am expanding our business model to distribute turnkey solar kits across the country. Needless to say, Logistics Plus is now my first choice for a shipping partner. Please communicate my satisfaction with Logistics Plus to your shipping/logistics manager. Thank you.

An Erie SeaWolves Tiger Tales Experience

An Erie SeaWolves Tiger Tales Experience

TigerTales-PicsOn August 29, the Erie SeaWolves hosted an interactive experience called “Tiger Tales” with two of the greatest players in Detroit Tigers history – Lance Parrish and Alan Trammell.  Lance and Alan led the Tigers to a World Championship in 1984 and combined to earn 14 career All-Star Game selections, seven Rawlings Gold Gloves, and nine Silver Slugger Awards. The Erie SeaWolves, meanwhile, are a Minor League Baseball team based in Erie, Pennsylvania. They play in the Eastern League as the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers and were recently purchased by Fernando Aguirre.

Logistics Plus (LP), a local sponsor for the Erie SeaWolves, was able to include the son of LP employee Kristen Rzodkiewicz in the Tiger Tales experience. Kristen’s son Jacob is a huge baseball fan and player. He plays for the local Harborcreek Little League and also a Harborcreek travel team. As part of the Tiger Tales experience, Jacob enjoyed the following activities (as shown in the slideshow to the right):

  • A behind-the-scenes visit to the SeaWolves clubhouse hosted by Lance and Alan.
  • Listened as Alan and Lance shared rarely told stories of life in the Major Leagues and answered questions from moderator and SeaWolves owner Fernando Aguirre.
  • Was able to ask Alan and Lance his own questions about baseball lore and their careers.
  • Took live batting practice swings on the field at Jerry Uht Park.
  • Snapped photos and received autographs with Alan and Lance.
  • Participated  in (and won!) a raffle to throw a ceremonial first pitch at the game.

What an awesome way to spend the day for a baseball fan of any age. Thank you Mr. Aguirre, Lance and Alan for allowing “one of our own” to experience such a special day!
