FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Logistics Plus to Celebrate 2nd Annual NATIONAL LOGISTICS DAY on June 28th
The 2020 campaign is also being supported by the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA).
ERIE, PA (June 2, 2020) – Logistics Plus Inc. (LP), a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, is announcing its intentions to support and celebrate the second annual NATIONAL LOGISTICS DAY (NLD) on June 28, 2020 – an annual day to recognize and appreciate the importance of the logistics industry.
Last year, LP formally registered NATIONAL LOGISTICS DAY on June 28th as an official holiday with the Registrar at National Day Calendar. LP also obtained government endorsements from the Mayor of Erie; the County Executive of Erie County; the Governor of Pennsylvania; the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania (H.R. 395); the States of Ohio and South Carolina; and from members of Pennsylvania’s Congressional delegation (by Congressional Record). An additional proclamation for this year is being reviewed by the White House.
“I am proud of our team and our industry,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus, a former truck driver and 45-year logistics industry veteran. “While we might have started the NLD movement last year, this really is an industry-wide appreciation event. This year more than ever, logistics companies across the nation and around the world, including drivers, dock workers, dispatchers, staffers and all the rest, have really demonstrated their essential importance to the economy by pulling out all the stops to keep supply chains moving, and to get much-needed PPE and medical supplies to our front-line heroes.”
The Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) has joined this year’s NLD celebration by designating June as TIA Member Appreciation Month, a time to recognize the significant and often under-appreciated role of the logistics industry within the greater transportation ecosystem. TIA’s month-long campaign highlighting the logistics industry will culminate in the celebration of NLD on June 28th. Logistics Plus has been a member of TIA since 2011.
“To say it has been a trying last few months for our members and the industry would be a vast understatement,” said Robert A. Voltmann, President & CEO of TIA. “From the massive disruptions and economic impact on the nation as a result of COVID-19 to the recent attacks on brokers by owner-operators over rate transparency, I know it may feel like it’s just been one hit after another. It is important to remember, however, the symbolic role your business and the 3PL industry plays in the national and global economies.”

We are happy to announce that our first shipment of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) supplies will be arriving in Erie, PA this weekend, where they will be warehoused and distributed as needed. Thanks to the MANY Logistics Plus employees all over the world who helped make this happen (too many to mention).
Logistics Plus, as usual, is taking the initiative of finding, procuring, shipping, and providing needed equipment to our front line heroes in the hospitals, care centers, nursing homes, fire departments, police departments and schools throughout PA (and elsewhere). Proud of our entire team!
ANYONE ANYWHERE can order these critical supplies from us. Since these items are getting very difficult to procure, please share or forward this website to your contacts as well so they know, and so that we might help in their cities too.
Thanks, all. Stay safe. Stay strong.
Onward (even though the road is tough),
JB

Dear Logistics Plus Linguistic Solutions (LPLS) Clients,
Due to the current climate surrounding the COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Logistics Plus Linguistic Solutions has taken the following measures to ensure both public health and community wellness.
- All LPLS staff are undergoing COVID19 training with the Erie County Health Department. This will allow all staff members to be properly educated on early symptom detection and reporting.
- LPLS has extended usage of VRI (Video Remote Interpreting) and OPI (Over the Phone Interpretation) for all clients. While it is still our preference for in-person services, in the event this is no longer plausible LPLS has multiple options available to avoid any disruption in service.
- LPLS has simplified our translation costs to allow clients to provide up-to-date information to their consumers. Please send me an email directly to update relevant service agreements to reflect these changes.
- LPLS can provide linguistic support in the event your company decides to establish a questionnaire phone number for consumers. Please email me directly to set up the technological guidelines.
- LPLS is currently recording Public Service Announcements, in both audio and video to provide up-to-date information to consumers. Please send me an email directly to update relevant service agreements to reflect these changes.
