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.

Logistics Plus Once Again is Named to the Inc. 5000 Annual List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies
Logistics Plus appears on the list for the seventh time in the past eight years and is now a 10x Honoree.
ERIE, PA (August 13, 2025) – Logistics Plus, Inc. (LP), a global leader in transportation, logistics, and unique supply chain solutions, is proud to announce it has been included on Inc. magazine’s 2025 Inc. 5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Logistics Plus has made the list for the seventh time in the past eight years and the tenth time overall since 2007. Logistics Plus is one of only two companies based in Erie, Pennsylvania, and one of only 139 logistics and transportation companies to make the 2025 list.
This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
“This month, as we start our thirtieth year of business, we’ve been profitable every year and grown every year but one,” said Jim Berlin, Founder and CEO of Logistics Plus. “At the core, our mission stays simple: Solve problems, create opportunities, and have fun doing it. We’re proud of awards like the Inc. 5000 — but prouder of what they stand for: a team that never forgot its roots, no matter how far we’ve come.”
Companies on the 2025 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2021 to 2024. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2021. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2024. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2021 is $100,000; the minimum for 2024 is $2 million. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
