Logistics Plus Customs Brokerage Manager Gretchen Blough made another appearance on Marketplace to discuss international trade and China tariffs that are still in place from the Trump era.
Gretchen commented on how the tariffs have made U.S. manufacturers more competitive. “These additional tariffs on everything, the additional duties on everything, gives the U.S. manufacturers a more level playing field,” said Blough, who works at Logistics Plus in Erie, Pennsylvania. Gretchen added, “The landed cost goes up on these imported goods, and therefore the U.S. manufacturer is able to better compete with them.”

Working with contacts in combat positions in Ukraine, Logistics Plus funded, procured, and outfitted two custom-equipped vans set up as mobile trauma units, and last week we delivered them to Bakhmut. These vans were outfitted with the gear and equipment specifically requested by the Ukrainian field medics who will operate them. Field medics provide front-line mobile trauma care to address injuries that often prove fatal when not treated until the wounded reach a field hospital but can be non-fatal if treatment is provided more swiftly.
We are proud of this contribution and hope it helps make a real impact. Learn more about Logistics Plus activities in Ukraine at www.logisticsplus.com/rebuilding-ukraine.

A new group of Logistics Plus employees graduated from the Dale Carnegie Skills for Success class at our global headquarters in Erie, PA. For the fifth time, Logistics Plus provided this foundational leadership program to nearly 20 employees who volunteered to strengthen their people, communication, management, and leadership skills, build confidence, and manage stress more effectively.
The course took place for three and a half hours every Wednesday for eight weeks. The program will continue to be made available to additional Logistics Plus employees in the future.
The Dale Carnegie Skills for Success course has five main objectives:
- Build greater self-confidence
- Strengthen people skills
- Enhance communication skills
- Develop leadership skills
- Reduce stress and improve our attitude
The Dale Carnegie program is used worldwide to help companies improve leadership skills and invest in their employees. Jim Berlin, Founder and CEO of Logistics Plus, has taken the course twice and wanted to allow his employees to experience it. Jim said, “In my mind, this course gives you the ‘tricks of the trade’ on becoming a better human being, getting along with others, and getting things done. I’d highly recommend it to everyone.”
Upon completion of the class, Chris Klingensmith won the ‘Highest Achiever’ award for his commitment and hard work in the class. Congratulations!
