Slide Show of New Logistics Plus Branded Trailer Photographs

Jim-Trailer-CircleCheck out this slide show with new photographs, taken by Rob Frank Photography, showcasing our newly branded Logistics Plus (LP) trailer (some with our founder and CEO, Jim Berlin). Although Logistics Plus is mostly a non-asset 3PL (no trucks), it does own an asset-based trucking division called National Truckload (NTL). As shown here, our new LP marketing trailer is being pulled by a new NTL Kenworth tractor. You know you’re in logistics when you get excited about a picture of a truck! 🙂

Best Ways to Boost Warehouse Productivity

Best Ways to Boost Warehouse Productivity

Wonolo-Blog-WhseThank you to the folks at Wonolo (stands for Work. Now. Locally.) for including Logistics Plus in their “Best Ways to Boost Warehouse Productivity” blog post. The most productive warehouses have systems and processes that enable their operations to run like well-oiled machines. But with so many moving parts, fluctuations in demand, increased customer expectations, and other shifting dynamics, boosting productivity in the warehouse setting is often easier said than done. To gain some insight into the productivity-boosting tactics and strategies today’s warehouse operators find most effective, the folks at Wonolo reached out to a panel of warehouse professionals, including LP’s own Patrick Randolph, to ask the question: “What’s the single best way for warehouses to improve productivity?” You can read Patrick’s reply below; or read the full online article here: https://www.wonolo.com/blog/improve-warehouse-productivity/

Sundreysh Sarup: Running Helps Me Stay Positive via LiveMint

(Check out this online article from LiveMint featuring Sundreysh Sarup, Managing Director for Logistics Plus India)

Like most people, Sundreysh Sarup started running to get fitter and lose weight. He began walking and slow jogging in 2012, and gave himself a year to train for his first half marathon in Delhi in 2013. Since then, he has run about 10 half marathons, as well as a few 10K, runs. Last year, in the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon (ADHM), he achieved his personal best time of 2 hours, 16 minutes for a 21.1km run. The managing director of Logistics Plus Pvt. Ltd is often joined in his runs by his 11-year-old son; they both look on it as father-son bonding time.
