Hand Carry from Jamestown, NY to Puebla, Mexico in 16 Hours!

We got a call from a customer of ours on Friday around 11 am for a shipment from NY that had to be delivered RIGHT AWAY.  Emily Grein took off to go get the freight while Abi booked her a flight from Buffalo. We also called the customer to make sure that the freight was ready for Emily when she got there (since the plane was leaving in a couple of hours).
Emily made it to the gate in Buffalo JUST IN TIME to make the flight to Atlanta and then connect to a flight to Mexico City where Liz, FT, Pepe, and the Logistics Plus Mexico team did a bang-up job getting a driver to meet her at the airport, clear customs and deliver the freight AT 2:53 IN THE MORNING.
16 hours from the time we were notified until we delivered to Puebla, Mexico. How cool is that?

Port Congestion Notice

Please note that port congestion along the US west coast is continuing, and US east coast ports are becoming congested as well. Norfolk, in particular, is experiencing congestion due to record-setting container volumes. New York/Newark has been experiencing congestion due to the unusually harsh winter weather.

Canada is not immune to the delays being experienced at US ports.  Non- union truckers began protests last week at the Port of Vancouver, and this weekend the unionized truckers  (UTA) voted unanimously to go on strike Wednesday, March 5th, and the strike is continuing as of this posting.  Please see this link for more information: Vancouver Port Shutdown.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Logistics Plus operations specialist.
