Sourcing truckload capacity can be a real nightmare for shippers. It takes a lot of time making multiple phone calls to carriers, searching for the right equipment and drivers in the right place at the right time, and ensuring your selected trucker has the proper operating authority and safety rating – not to mention finding a fair, affordable price. Well, the good news is you have an experienced Logistics Plus team that is ready to help – from planning to delivery, and everything in between.
Logistics Plus has truckload specialists located in offices across North America; but most of our load coordination comes from the truckload brokerage staff located at our Global Headquarters in Erie, PA. It wasn’t easy, but we recently pried most of them away from their computers and telephones for a quick photograph so that we could introduce them to you.
