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).

The past three days, representatives from Logistics Plus have been attending the Twig Talk conference in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Logistics Plus is an active member of the Twig Logistics Network which has created a new network concept in the logistics field. It is a network formed by the best and most select global freight forwarding companies, where only companies referred by existing members are allowed to become members and enjoy the various benefits created to generate more business and greater communication between member freight forwarders.
One interesting component of the Twig network is its “Badges program.” Through the Badges program, Twig members can identify which profile most closely identified with their needs. Badges were created and designed specifically for freight forwarder members to extol the strengths of their business. Shown below on the left is a list of badges initially created, where the achievement of each requires proof of worthiness to the Twig review team. There are posters at the Twig Talk conference that show the top members earning these various badges of merit. Shown below on the right you will see a picture of a poster at the conference showing that Logistics Plus is currently the top badge earner among all freight forwarders with 13 individual badges!
As illustrated by our Twig network badges, if you’re looking for a top-notch freight forwarder, Logistics Plus has proven experience and recognized excellence – so why not give us a try?
