As the Exclusive Logistics Provider of the Joe Moore Award, Logistics Plus managed its inaugural move of the 7-foot, 800-pound trophy from the Army Military Academy campus at West Point, NY, to Erie, PA. The trophy will reside at the Logistics Plus Global Headquarters in Union Station (in The BrewErie on the first floor) for the next few weeks to celebrate the legacy of Joe Moore and the Joe Moore Award.
Joe Moore began his coaching career at McDowell High School in Erie before coaching at Pittsburgh, Temple, and Notre Dame. A number of his family members were on hand in Erie for the arrival of the trophy, as were members of the McDowell and Erie High School football squads. Also on hand were several of the players whom Joe Moore coached during his time at McDowell from 1963 to 1971.
Erie News Now has been providing complete coverage of the move. Some of those links can be found at the bottom of the logisticsplus.com/joemooreaward web page or on the erienewsnow.com website. The Joe Moore Award media team captured a full accounting of the move, with many interviews, and will be sharing that content soon on the Trench Life channel on YouTube. Logistics Plus will also share that footage when it becomes available. In the meantime, here is a sneak peek at the historical logistical move that took place over the past two days.
