Hey, I know I send a lot (too many? 😉) emails. But if you get a chance this weekend, please—PLEASE—take the time to listen to this podcast.
It’s not about me. It’s not even about LP. It’s about Aaron Taylor and talking about the Joe Moore Award, for which we’re now the exclusive logistics provider/sponsor.
It’s worth your time—I promise. Aaron’s passion for this award is truly inspirational.
Jim Berlin, Founder and CEO of Logistics Plus (LP), and Aaron Taylor, Co-Founder of the Joe Moore Award and Current CBS College Football Analyst, were featured on the 8/15/25 episode of the Business Spotlight program, produced in partnership with WPSE Money Radio. Business Spotlight is a monthly 30-minute program that airs regionally and streams globally.
In this special Business Spotlight segment, Jim and Aaron discuss Logistics Plus being named the Exclusive Logistics Provider of the Joe Moore Award, Joe Moore’s influence on Aaron’s life, the logistical challenges of transporting and storing the massive 800-pound, seven-foot-tall trophy, the parallels between the mission of the award and Logistics Plus, and much more.
The Joe Moore Award is named after Joe Moore, widely regarded as one of the best offensive line coaches in college football history, most notably for his work at Notre Dame and the University of Pittsburgh. Coach Moore sent 52 players on to the NFL, including Bill Fralic, Mark May, Russ Grimm, Jimbo Covert, Andy Heck and others. The Joe Moore Award trophy, crafted by legendary sports sculptor Jerry McKenna, is the largest trophy in college football, standing at a height of seven feet and weighing in at more than 800 pounds. The perpetual trophy is made available for display by the winning university until the conclusion of the following college football season.

A lot of what we do at LP reminds me of the role of the “hogs” up front on a football team. They do the hard, dirty work—protecting the quarterback, clearing the path for the running back—and they rarely get the spotlight. But they don’t do it for the credit. They do it for the team. They do it to win.
That’s LP. We clear the way for our customers’ success. We get things where they need to go—on time, intact, and without excuses. That’s been our style from Day 1.
Whenever I speak to students, I always open by telling them I’m a proud graduate of the Thomas School of Business. They nod politely. Then I tell them, “You don’t know what the Thomas School of Business is! It’s Thurman Thomas—getting down low behind the big guys, finding the hole, and then HITTING it.”
That’s the LP way.
So what a perfect coincidence—and a true honor—for us to now be a key part of this very fitting award.
