Logistics Plus founder & CEO Jim Berlin was interviewed by Erie News Now to talk about his lifelong support and excitement for the Buffalo Bills. Jim’s support of the Bills dates back to 1969 when he attended college at the University of Buffalo. Just two weeks ago, Jim was one of the lucky fans who got to attend the first Bills home playoff game since 1996 versus the Colts. This week, Jim’s even more excited as he secured his tickets for the AFC Championship game versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
“If you watch the game, on the 25-yard line, there will be four of us in blue,” Jim told Erie News Now. When asked about the favorite teams of his employees, Jim adds, “When you walk through Union Station there’s all sorts of Steelers and Browns paraphernalia. There’s only like four or five Bills fans but we’re walking the halls proud this year.”
If the Bills move on to the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay, you better believe Jim will be searching for his next set of tickets.
Logistics Plus Senior VP of International Gretchen Seth was interviewed by Erie News Now to discuss the Covid-19 vaccine distribution and how private sector companies like Logistics Plus could help. The current Covid-19 vaccine distribution has been widely criticized as the supply is limited and distribution remains delayed.
When asked if she thinks private sector companies could help with the distribution of the vaccine, Gretchen said, “Absolutely. Companies that are in supply chain do this for a living.” Gretchen added, “We (Logistics Plus) feel like we would have a lot to add to the effort if we would be invited to do so.”
Logistics Plus has already helped fight the battle against Covid-19 by securing and distributing PPE when the pandemic first began. By leveraging our connections in China, Logistics Plus has sourced, warehoused, and delivered over 12 million pieces of FDA-approved PPE to businesses, organizations, and individuals all around the world.
Project cargo requires precise engineering and planning for the safe transportation of over-sized and over-dimensional cargo. This was especially the case over the last month as the Logistics Plus Turkey team completed deliveries of 14 transformers to the Middle East, two locomotives to Finland, and a full charter to Egypt. Bahadir Erdil, Global Projects Director for Logistics Plus, said, “Our project cargo team continues to impress and find unique solutions that meet our client’s needs. We can’t wait to see what challenges come our way in 2021.”
These recent projects didn’t come without obstacles, however. The LP Turkey team completed mandatory assessments to verify the cargo’s weight and dimensions, completed surveys of local roads while mapping out alternate routes, and experienced sudden weather changes while transporting the cargo. “We treat each project differently,” added Bahadir. “There is never a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to these massive projects.”
Photos of these projects can be seen below.
