Logistics Plus has a long-standing 4PL relationship with HERO BX, the largest producer of biodiesel fuels in the Northeast. We recently paid a visit to “on-site” Logistics Plus employees Chris Kuehl and Justin Corritore to see what they’re up to and to learn more about this successful 4PL solution that Logistics Plus put into place nearly ten years ago. The HERO BX story is truly fascinating, and the information we learned has been distilled into a short case study summary, PDF download, and videos which you can view here. Additionally, shown below is a short photo gallery with some pictures taken during the visit showing Justin and Chris, a tour of the facility, and examples of rail cars and trucks being filled for delivery. Overall, a nice example of how Logistics Plus employees work with customers to help them be successful in all aspects of transportation and logistics!

Continuing a long-standing tradition, this weekend a group of Logistics Plus employees (i.e., the “LP Erie Team” pictured below) helped raise over $1,600 for the March of Dimes “March for Babies” event in Erie, PA. Funds raised in March for Babies support research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And they will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.

Have you viewed the new Logistics Plus website on your mobile device yet? Because www.logisticsplus.com is now “responsive” it will automatically adapt to the size of your web browser to ensure optimal readability – whether on a PC, tablet or mobile phone. Despite having a mobile-friendly website, we’re still often asked when we will be releasing our own “mobile app” for the Apple iOS and/or Google Android mobile operating systems. While a true mobile app could be in our future, in the meantime, did you know that you can save our home page to the desktop of your mobile device and it will create a cool “app-looking” icon using our famous “air/ocean/road/rail” circle emblem? After it’s created, all you have to do is click the icon and your mobile device browser will automatically open to the Logistics Plus home page. So, if you’d like to create your own “Logistics Plus app,” just follow the simple instructions below (for Apple iOS devices).
