Transloading, Crossdocking, Air Transfers, and Fulfillment from Chicago

Transloading, Crossdocking, Air Transfers, and Fulfillment from Chicago

Chicago, Illinois, is a major logistics hub in the United States, and it offers a variety of services for businesses that need to transload, crossdock, or ship products by air.

Transloading is the process of moving goods from one mode of transportation to another. For example, a company might transload goods from a train to a truck in Chicago in order to continue their journey to a different destination. Transloading can save businesses time and money by avoiding the need to unload and reload goods at multiple locations.

Crossdocking is a type of logistics operation in which goods are unloaded from one vehicle and loaded onto another without being stored in a warehouse. This can help businesses to reduce their inventory costs and improve their shipping times. Crossdocking is often used in conjunction with transloading, as it can be more efficient to transload goods directly onto a truck that is headed to its final destination.

Air transfers are a fast and reliable way to ship goods long distances. Chicago is home to several major airports, including O’Hare International Airport, which is one of the busiest airports in the world. Air transfers can be a good option for businesses that need to ship time-sensitive goods, or that need to reach customers in a hurry.

Fulfillment is the process of picking, packing, and shipping orders to customers. Businesses that sell products online often use fulfillment services to handle the logistics of shipping their products to customers. There are a number of fulfillment companies that operate in Chicago, and they can offer a variety of services to businesses, including picking, packing, shipping, and returns management.

The combination of transloading, crossdocking, air transfers, and fulfillment services makes Chicago a great location for businesses that need to move goods quickly and efficiently. Businesses that are looking for a logistics solution in Chicago should consider Logistics Plus for these services to help them improve their shipping times, reduce their costs, and meet the needs of their customers.

Here are some specific examples of how businesses can use transloading, crossdocking, air transfers, and fulfillment from Chicago:

  • A furniture retailer might transload goods from a train to a truck in Chicago in order to distribute them to stores in the Midwest.
  • A food distributor might crossdock goods from a full truckload shipment to smaller LTL shipments in order to ship them to customers within the Chicagoland area.
  • A retailer might use air transfers to ship time-sensitive goods from Chicago to its stores in other countries.
  • An online retailer might use a fulfillment company in Chicago to pick, pack, and ship orders to its customers located in the Central/Midwest United States.

Chicago is a great location for businesses that need to move goods quickly and efficiently. Logistics Plus offers a variety of logistics services from its Chicago-based operations, including transloading, crossdocking, air transfers, and fulfillment. These services can help businesses to reduce their costs, improve their shipping times, and meet the needs of their customers.

Logistics Plus now has 18 fully managed commercial warehouses in the U.S., comprising 5 million square feet of storage space. The company also manages many additional virtual and commercial warehouses worldwide.

The new “LP PHX 2” warehouse is in a growing industrial development region northwest of Phoenix. The facility features quick freeway access, 395 trailer stalls, and 40-foot ceilings and is only a six-hour drive from the Los Angeles/Long Beach ports. Tom Kelly, Regional Director of Sales and Operations for Logistics Plus, will oversee the move-in and ongoing management of the operation, in addition to the company’s other Phoenix and four southern California warehouses.

“As other logistics companies slow down or reduce their warehousing footprints, we are doubling down to meet the current and future needs of our customers,” said Yuriy Ostapyak, COO for Logistics Plus. “We still see strong demand for our commercial warehousing solutions in key verticals, and we expect that growth to continue. Our new, second Phoenix warehouse will allow us to keep pace with that growth.”

Logistics Plus is Named a 2023 Top 3PL by Multichannel Merchant

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Logistics Plus Named a 2023 Top 3PL by Multichannel Merchant

It’s the sixth consecutive year Logistics Plus has been named to the list.

2023 Top 3PL by Multichannel MerchantERIE, PA (December 13, 2022) – Logistics Plus, Inc. (LP), a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce it has been named to the Multichannel Merchant (MCM) 2023 Top 3PL Directory. For a sixth straight year, Logistics Plus will be joining dozens of other leading third-party logistics providers selected by Multichannel Merchant in its eighth annual directory.

After researching candidates across the industry and reviewing submissions from providers, Multichannel Merchant identified top companies, both generalists and specialists, offering a range of valuable services and deep expertise. 3PL providers have reported increased interest and adoption from retailers of all kinds, many of whom are quickly realizing that their internal resources are not up to the task of handling order fulfillment and logistics at scale.

“Choosing the right 3PL for your business can lead to lower cost per order, rapid scaling, a larger footprint and coverage, faster time to customer, and so much more,” said Mike O’Brien, Senior Content Manager of Multichannel Merchant. “Each company in our directory has been selected based on its industry experience, services offered, performance, and range of capabilities.”

The company profiles in the MCM Top 3PL directory include vital information to help you in the selection process, including key services offered, average annual client order volume, top three merchandise categories handled, facility locations, and more. It also breaks out the percentage of the continental U.S. covered based on days in transit to end customers, a critical differentiator for merchants. The directory is available throughout the year.

“With over five million square feet of warehousing in the U.S. alone, and more abroad, we support complete omnichannel fulfillment solutions, including B2B, wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels such as FBA, FBM, and dozens of other marketplaces and shopping carts,” said Danny Yunes, head of global operations and strategy. “We are honored that Multichannel Merchant continues to acknowledge Logistics Plus as a top 3PL provider in the competitive, growing e-commerce space.”
