The Logistics Plus Chicago warehouse team completed a last-minute charter project over the weekend for one of our freight forwarding clients. On Thursday, September 23rd, our team received a call to see if we could accommodate and receive an inbound charter of 38 airline pallets. The pallets were floor-loaded PMC’s and the client needed us to sort and segregate, palletize, shrink wrap, and have them ready for pickup by Monday morning. Like always, the Chicago team delivered and completed the project on time.
Logistics Plus Midwest Manager Christian Marz said, “We got the call, rolled up our sleeves, and got it done over the weekend. There wasn’t much else to say when we were on the phone other than ‘absolutely we can help.’ That’s the LP way.”
Pictures from this warehousing project can be seen below.
