Each year, in its July issue, Inbound Logistics magazine publishes its annual resource on third-party logistics and the outsourced logistics market. Prior to the issue, the publisher asks its readers which third-party logistics companies provide excellent service as part of its “Top 10 3PL Excellence Awards” contest. The results are then presented in the July 3PL issue.
As a mid-sized 3PL, we greatly appreciate our customers’ support to achieve this accolade. At Logistics Plus, we don’t pull any punches – we pride ourselves on providing top-notch service and being second to none! So if you’ve enjoyed working with us, and if you’re so inclined, please vote for Logistics Plus as your top logistics partner and let the world know that there’s a great 3PL out there working hard to help shippers with their transportation and logistics. According to its website, you don’t need to be an Inbound Logistics subscriber to vote. You’ll also be entered into a drawing for one of 10 free 18-carat gold Parker pens.
As always, we thank you for your business, loyalty, and support!
As a reminder, we are also very appreciative of your testimonials!

Earlier this month, Logistics Management magazine unveiled the results of its 32nd Annual Quest for Quality Awards recognizing some of the highest-quality carriers in the industry. This year, its survey results yielded 125 providers of transportation and logistics services. To determine who wins the vote, Logistics Management readers evaluate companies in all modes and service disciplines, choosing the top performers in categories including motor carriers, railroad and intermodal services, ocean carriers, airlines, freight forwarders, ports, third-party/contract logistics services.
Logistics Plus, being a smaller-sized third-party logistics company, was not included on the survey ballot (but we’ll see if we can change that in the coming years). However, many of our core LTL freight carriers were on the ballot and many also won awards. So we’d like to congratulate the following Logistics Plus LTL freight carriers for winning Quest for Quality Awards this year:
- FedEx Freight (National and Multiregional LTL categories)
- Con-way Freight (National LTL category)
- Holland (Midwest/North Central LTL, South/South Central LTL and Expedited categories)
- Pitt Ohio (Northeast/Mid-Atlanta LTL category)
- New Penn (Northeast/Mid-Atlanta LTL and Expedited categories)
- A. Due Pyle (Northeast/Mid-Atlanta LTL and Expedited categories)
- Southeastern Freight Lines (South/South Central LTL category)
- Reddaway (Western LTL category)
Additionally, there were a number of truckload, expedited, ocean and air freight carriers that Logistics Plus has worked with in the past year that won Quest for Quality awards, including Miller Transporters, Ruan Transport, Prime, Landstar, and J.B. Hunt (truckload carriers); Panther Premium Logistics and FedEx Custom Critical (expedited motor carriers); Maersk Line, Hapag-Lloyd, Evergreen Line, OOCL, and COSCO (ocean carriers); and Cathay Pacific, British Airways, Delta Air Lines, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Emirates SkyCargo, and FedEx Express (airfreight carriers).
