Logistics Plus is your global headquarters for freight forwarding and project cargo expertise! Other companies may claim to have expertise handling project cargo, but we’ll put our 20 years of project cargo experience up against anyone. Project cargo, also called project forwarding or project logistics is a specialized field of transportation and logistics that requires specific expertise, knowledge, and resources. Project cargo can often be large, unique, oversize, heavy-lift, or breakbulk shipments. Project cargo can also be managing a large volume of freight shipments within a specified time frame or by specific delivery date.
Logistics Plus has extensive project cargo expertise in handling, lifting, and transporting the most difficult of cargo across many industries. We’ve managed projects involving locomotives, windmills, satellites, solar panels, gas pipes, boilers, generators, LNG tanks, pumps, helicopters, machinery, tractors, ship blocks, aviation components, and more. And we’ve done so in countries all around the world, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Belgium, Germany, Finland, China, India, Indonesia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Libya, to name just a few. The following photo gallery provides some great examples of the many cargo projects our team has handled over the past couple of years.

Freight management solutions are a core competency for Logistics Plus. In fact, the company was founded nearly 20 years ago to provide inbound domestic freight management services to GE Transportation, a division of General Electric (GE) – one of the largest companies in the world. The success we demonstrated in those early years opened up doors to a variety of other solutions, such as warehousing, international freight forwarding, and global trade compliance. Despite our global footprint and expanded solutions portfolio, freight management remains a central part of our core service offerings. Today we help thousands of companies manage their freight – and we even provide on-site managed transportation solutions to a number of large clients.
If your company ships less-than-truckload (LTL), truckload, and expedited freight shipments on a regular basis, we invite you to try our four-step approach to better rates and service.
The secrets to our freight management and managed transportation success are as follows:
Talented, experienced and caring logistics professionals
Honesty and transparency with our customers and our carriers
Great rates, super carriers, and outstanding service
Shipment visibility and responsiveness to potential problems
Customized, user-friendly technology and freight management tools

As we celebrate our 20th year of business, we continue our walk down memory lane by sharing the following Erie Times-News newspaper clipping from October 31, 2003. The article is a nice complement to the Great American Stations case study we shared on Wednesday because it covers the announcement of when Logistics Plus purchased an old, vacant train station in downtown Erie, PA in anticipation of making it our global headquarters. Thanks to significant renovations and development, that old train station is nothing like it was back in 2003. Some of you might enjoy this old article since it details an important turning point in the history of Logistics Plus, the Erie Union Station, and downtown Erie, Pennsylvania.
As a bookend to yesterday’s MFG Day 2015 event at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, PA, all of us here at Logistics Plus would like to convey our appreciation as both a sponsor and exhibitor. In the morning we had the pleasure of educating hundreds of area students on what we do and how transportation and logistics plays an important role in supporting manufacturers across the country. We also enjoyed our more “adult-oriented” conversations with manufacturers and exhibitors throughout the day. Congratulations to Jason at Reddog Industries for being the randomly chosen lucky winner of our “Taste of Union Station” gift basket. To everyone else that stopped by, thank you for your interest and conversation. Also, a special thank you to the Manufacturer & Business Association (MBA) staff for hosting and managing a great event, and to our fellow sponsors as well.
The video below contains a few final “sights & sounds”‘ from the event.
