As a bookend to yesterday’s MFG Day 2015 event at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, PA, all of us here at Logistics Plus would like to convey our appreciation as both a sponsor and exhibitor. In the morning we had the pleasure of educating hundreds of area students on what we do and how transportation and logistics plays an important role in supporting manufacturers across the country. We also enjoyed our more “adult-oriented” conversations with manufacturers and exhibitors throughout the day. Congratulations to Jason at Reddog Industries for being the randomly chosen lucky winner of our “Taste of Union Station” gift basket. To everyone else that stopped by, thank you for your interest and conversation. Also, a special thank you to the Manufacturer & Business Association (MBA) staff for hosting and managing a great event, and to our fellow sponsors as well.
The video below contains a few final “sights & sounds”‘ from the event.

We are excited to announce that the Logistics Plus® eShipPlus™ transportation management system (TMS) is receiving a makeover. You will see the new design when you log in to eShipPlus on Tuesday, October 6, 2015. While change is never easy, the new design provides a more contemporary and user-friendly experience that we’re confident you’ll come to appreciate.
Here are a few of the notable changes:
New, contemporary look-and-feel
Text-based menus to help you find things faster
Fewer tabs, condensed screens, and faster load times
Links between pages that work together taking you where you need to be
Cursor position and tabbing allow you to move through fields in a more logical manner
New forms open in input-ready (edit) mode, ready for information to be entered
Expanded resolution allows more information to be viewed on screen – more real estate, wider screens, bigger popups
Greater use of icons and arrows for a more intuitive experience
More graphics, including carrier logos in the LTL rate selection windows (and, coming soon, guaranteed delivery options prominently displayed when available)
That’s pretty much it! All of the same tools and functionality still exist without too much deviation from how you used them before. That includes:
Dashboard for quick access to any tool on the website
Rate Estimate for quick LTL rate quotes for dozens of top carriers
Address Book for storing frequently used shipping addresses
Customer Load Dashboard to view all of your LTL and truckload shipments
Library Item for storing all of the products that you ship
Truckload Quote for full or partial truckload moves
Expedited Quote for expedited and time-sensitive shipments (links to form)
International Quote for international freight forwarding services (links to form)
Customer Invoice Dashboard to view, print or pay your invoices
Report Run to run various reports on your shipping activity
Help to reach our customer support team and view a user guide
Developer Access Request to request our integration services

Logistics Plus is proud to be a sponsor for MFG DAY 2015 in Erie, PA. In addition to being mentioned in the October 2015 issue of Business Magazine, we’ll also be exhibiting at the Bayfront Convention Center this coming Thursday, October 1, 2015. John Ratzenberger and Paul Teutul, Jr. will be keynote speakers, so it should be a great event. If you plan on attending the show, please be sure to stop by the Logistics Plus table to say hello. Otherwise, you can read more about the event in the online version of Business Magazine by clicking the image below.
This most recent time-lapse video showcases the latest move of LPG tanks from China to Brazil. This time the tanks were slightly smaller and didn’t have to be installed directly into the hull. But moving four of them on the same ship and discharging to the floating dock on arrival was still a very tight operation.
This second video shows that when modern equipment is not available, and the budget does not allow to bring it in, Logistics Plus still masters the skill of the old ways and gets the job done safely.
