Last week, several Logistics Plus employees participated in a wing eating contest at Quaker Steak & Lube in Erie, Pennsylvania. The contest consisted of four teams, each made up of four brave employees who took on the challenge of eating six “Triple Atomic” flavored chicken wings. Aside from the competitors, there were a handful of other LP employees who each tried one of the blazing-hot “Triple Atomic” wings.

Last night, Logistics Plus joined Erie Times-News, and many others, to celebrate and honor the accomplishments of the 2017-2018 All-Area high school student athletes at the annual Best of Varsity Cup Awards at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, PA. The awards banquet is a way of saying thank you to the thousands of outstanding high school athletes, coaches and fans who allow Erie Times-News (GoErie.com) to share their stories, performances and passions. As a presenting sponsor for the event, Logistics Plus had a number of employees present, as well as our special guests from the Barber National Institute. We had the additional honor of presenting Fairview’s Liam Finnecy with the Comeback Player of the Year Award in recognition of his amazing story. The evening included a nice dinner, awards ceremony, and presentation by Pittsburgh Steelers great, Hines Ward. The following video message from Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus, was shown at the beginning of the ceremony.
