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.

Congratulations to Quest for Quality Carriers

Congratulations to Quest for Quality Carriers

Quest for Quality Carriers IssueEarlier this month, Logistics Management magazine unveiled the results of its 32nd Annual Quest for Quality Awards recognizing some of the highest-quality carriers in the industry. This year, its survey results yielded 125 providers of transportation and logistics services. To determine who wins the vote, Logistics Management readers evaluate companies in all modes and service disciplines, choosing the top performers in categories including motor carriersrailroad and intermodal servicesocean carriersairlines, freight forwardersports,  third-party/contract logistics services.

Logistics Plus, being a smaller-sized third-party logistics company, was not included on the survey ballot (but we’ll see if we can change that in the coming years). However, many of our core LTL freight carriers were on the ballot and many also won awards. So we’d like to congratulate the following Logistics Plus LTL freight carriers for winning Quest for Quality Awards this year:

  • FedEx Freight (National and Multiregional LTL categories)
  • Con-way Freight (National LTL category)
  • Holland (Midwest/North Central LTL, South/South Central LTL and Expedited categories)
  • Pitt Ohio (Northeast/Mid-Atlanta LTL category)
  • New Penn (Northeast/Mid-Atlanta LTL and Expedited categories)
  • A. Due Pyle (Northeast/Mid-Atlanta LTL and Expedited categories)
  • Southeastern Freight Lines (South/South Central LTL category)
  • Reddaway (Western LTL category)

Additionally, there were a number of truckload, expedited, ocean and air freight carriers that Logistics Plus has worked with in the past year that won Quest for Quality awards, including Miller Transporters, Ruan Transport, Prime, Landstar, and J.B. Hunt (truckload carriers); Panther Premium Logistics and FedEx Custom Critical (expedited motor carriers); Maersk Line, Hapag-Lloyd, Evergreen Line, OOCL, and COSCO (ocean carriers); and Cathay Pacific, British Airways, Delta Air Lines, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Emirates SkyCargo, and FedEx Express (airfreight carriers).
