Teamwork. Sacrifice. Grit. These are the values that define great offensive lines on the football field — and they’re the same values that define great logistics partners off it. That’s why Logistics Plus is proud to be named the Exclusive Logistics Provider of the Joe Moore Award — college football’s most unique honor, celebrating the only position group that truly embodies the spirit of “five guys, one heartbeat.”
Each year, our team will take on the challenge of delivering the seven-foot-tall, 800-pound Joe Moore Award trophy to the nation’s best offensive line. It’s a task that requires precision, planning, and trust — the same qualities that fuel every global supply chain we manage. For us, moving the world’s biggest trophy isn’t just a delivery. It’s a symbol of what we do best: solving the toughest challenges with teamwork and determination.
For nearly three decades, Logistics Plus has been saying yes to the impossible. From moving wind turbines across oceans, to managing time-critical aerospace parts, to delivering last-mile solutions in the world’s hardest-to-reach places — we thrive where others hesitate. With operations in more than 50 countries worldwide, our people bring passion and creativity to every shipment, warehouse, and project we touch.
Like an offensive line, our success is never about one person. It’s about the collective — our employees, our partners, and our customers — working together to move what matters. Whether it’s freight forwarding, project cargo, warehousing, transportation, or supply chain technology, we tackle challenges head-on, with the same commitment to excellence and teamwork that the Joe Moore Award represents.

Starting August 29, 2025, the long‑standing U.S. “de minimis” customs exemption—which allowed imports valued at $800 or less to enter duty‑free—is officially ending, following a July 30 executive order by President Trump.
Immediate Effects:
Postal operators in at least 25 countries have already begun suspending parcel shipments to the U.S., including services in Europe, Australia, India, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, and others. These suspensions stem from uncertainty over how duties will be assessed, collected, and what additional customs data will be required.
Why It Matters:
- Consumers and businesses are bracing for higher costs and delays. Products that were once affordable may now carry duties of 10% to 50%, or flat fees between $80 and $200, dramatically increasing checkout totals.
- Global logistics networks are under strain as carriers and customs brokers face a surge in duty processing and compliance demands. The “free-flowing traffic” of international parcels is now bottlenecked with compliance hurdles.
Long-Term Outlook:
- Experts predict a significant drop in small-parcel shipping volumes—from over 1.3 billion shipments in 2024 to possibly 200–300 million annually—as companies retool their logistics strategies.
- Companies are increasingly turning toward regional or domestic fulfillment models to avoid new tariffs, potentially reshaping global supply chains.
