The Logistics Plus Chino, CA and Chicago, IL warehouses have been managing a massive rollout project. In January of this year, a top supplier in the medical device industry contacted Logistics Plus and asked if it could assist with importing, sorting, and distributing large freight shipments of Covid test kits. Within days of the request (and with some of the freight already in the air), Logistics Plus jumped on the project with the following scope of work:
Arrange some of the air charters coming into the U.S.
Send TSA drivers on-site to pick up the freight upon arrival
Deliver the cargo to the Logistics Plus warehouses
So far, Logistics Plus has successfully transported over 100 million Covid test kits to dozens of retail and government clients across the United States. Another 150 million test kits remain at Logistics Plus warehouses in preparation for outbound distribution. You can view some of the Chino and Chicago warehouses footage on the Logistics Plus YouTube Channel or below.
Logistics Plus (LP) is pleased to announce that the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (Florida DBPR) has granted a license to its Miami, Florida warehouse for the public storage of alcoholic beverages and spirits.
Within the past year, a new company division, called LP Spirits™, has focused on growing the company’s alcohol and spirits warehousing and logistics needs. The Miami warehouse joins the Logistics Plus Chino, CA, Chicago, IL, and Erie, PA warehouses as locations that can legally store and distribute alcohol. The Logistics Plus Dayton, NJ warehouse is currently pending its license.
Logistics Plus Miami Branch Manager Oscar Cabrales is very excited about the opportunity this brings. “Alcohol and spirit warehousing and distribution can be quite tricky. I’m excited that we can join other Logistics Plus warehouses across the country by being able to offer this service. On top of warehousing the alcohol, we can provide valuable importation, compliance, and distribution solutions.”

The Logistics Plus Chino, CA warehouse recently received a new racking system thanks to Ziglift Material Handling. The 566,000 square foot warehouse had an Interlake Selective Racking System installed, capable of storing up to 12,000 pallet positions. The customized system can store extra-long pallets by utilizing a third “middle” row in each aisle rack to accommodate the unique depth of the pallets. Although the design was challenging, the Ziglift team successfully minimized the loss of pallet positions and the system’s overall footprint.
Logistics Plus Regional Director of Warehousing Tom Kelly said, “Working with the Ziglift team couldn’t have been easier. Their team executed our racking project to our exact needs and opened up much-needed pallet positions. I’d recommend anyone in need of warehouse racking to look no further. They are tremendous partners and friends to Logistics Plus.”
About Ziglift Material Handling Since its founding in 2001, Ziglift has provided fully integrated warehouse storage solutions to its customers across the nation. Through high-volume purchasing and procured distribution channels, its extensive catalog of equipment and material handling solutions continues to grow. As one of the leading buyers of new & used racking, its large inventory allows it to offer exceptionally lower lead times, and its volume pricing makes it even more affordable to get the storage system that is right for its customers.

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.”
