Logistics Plus website and logistics comments
The more we grow the more we see non-U.S. shipments
People don’t think about it, but everything moves
This is our field of expertise – we know how to do this
More and more companies want to outsource functions
Strong enough to swim with the sharks

EMTA to use Logistics Plus Sassafras parking lot in exchange for new lighting, lot maintenance.
ERIE, PA (March 22, 2017) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, recently agreed to a temporary parking lot arrangement with the Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority (EMTA). EMTA will use the far end of the Logistics Plus lot just off of Sassafras Street and 14th Street (behind the Rapid Transit Building, west of Union Station) for parking for the next two years while it renovates its own parking garage. In return, EMTA will provide updated lighting and pavement, and will arrange for plowing services for all Union Station lots during the winter months.
“EMTA will have about 75 cars there (in the Sassafras parking lot) daily. In return for us letting them use that previously unused space, they will light the yard better, pave it, and plow it,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO for Logistics Plus. “It’s a fair deal and a win-win for both parties. Plus, I like the idea of having more ‘life’ here around the Union Station area.”
“I appreciate Jim working with us on this arrangement – it’s a good exchange,” said Michael Tann, executive director for EMTA. “The Sassafras lot is located in the heart of Erie and is only a few blocks from the EMTA offices. It’s great when local businesses and agencies work together to support projects that will ultimately improve the greater Erie community.”
