We are excited to announce that the Logistics Plus® eShipPlus™ transportation management system (TMS) is receiving a makeover. You will see the new design when you log in to eShipPlus on Tuesday, October 6, 2015. While change is never easy, the new design provides a more contemporary and user-friendly experience that we’re confident you’ll come to appreciate.
Here are a few of the notable changes:
New, contemporary look-and-feel
Text-based menus to help you find things faster
Fewer tabs, condensed screens, and faster load times
Links between pages that work together taking you where you need to be
Cursor position and tabbing allow you to move through fields in a more logical manner
New forms open in input-ready (edit) mode, ready for information to be entered
Expanded resolution allows more information to be viewed on screen – more real estate, wider screens, bigger popups
Greater use of icons and arrows for a more intuitive experience
More graphics, including carrier logos in the LTL rate selection windows (and, coming soon, guaranteed delivery options prominently displayed when available)
That’s pretty much it! All of the same tools and functionality still exist without too much deviation from how you used them before. That includes:
Dashboard for quick access to any tool on the website
Rate Estimate for quick LTL rate quotes for dozens of top carriers
Address Book for storing frequently used shipping addresses
Customer Load Dashboard to view all of your LTL and truckload shipments
Library Item for storing all of the products that you ship
Truckload Quote for full or partial truckload moves
Expedited Quote for expedited and time-sensitive shipments (links to form)
International Quote for international freight forwarding services (links to form)
Customer Invoice Dashboard to view, print or pay your invoices

Logistics Plus is proud to be a sponsor for MFG DAY 2015 in Erie, PA. In addition to being mentioned in the October 2015 issue of Business Magazine, we’ll also be exhibiting at the Bayfront Convention Center this coming Thursday, October 1, 2015. John Ratzenberger and Paul Teutul, Jr. will be keynote speakers, so it should be a great event. If you plan on attending the show, please be sure to stop by the Logistics Plus table to say hello. Otherwise, you can read more about the event in the online version of Business Magazine by clicking the image below.
This most recent time-lapse video showcases the latest move of LPG tanks from China to Brazil. This time the tanks were slightly smaller and didn’t have to be installed directly into the hull. But moving four of them on the same ship and discharging to the floating dock on arrival was still a very tight operation.
This second video shows that when modern equipment is not available, and the budget does not allow to bring it in, Logistics Plus still masters the skill of the old ways and gets the job done safely.

Logistics Plus continues its community service with an exciting new project opportunity. The Big Picture, a collaborative effort of the Erie Art Museum, the YMCA of Erie, and Erie Arts & Culture with support from Tungsten Creative Group, is requesting proposals from regional artists for a design, installation plan and budget for a large-scale mural to be located on the east wall of the Logistics Plus Skinner Warehouse (formerly the Skinner Engine Building) located at 337 West 12th Street, Erie, Pennsylvania. The goal of the mural is to build pride and a greater understanding of Erie’s manufacturing history while beautifying Erie’s most heavily traveled street. It is estimated that an average of between 10,000 and 20,000 vehicles travel along the 12th Street corridor daily. Funding for the project is provided in part by a grant from Erie Insurance Group. Work must be completed by April 2016.
