About Logistics Plus
Logistics Plus is an Erie, Pennsylvania-based global logistics and freight broker founded in 1996 by Jim Berlin under a one-year purchase order from GE Transportation. The company ranked #48 on the 2026 Transport Topics Top 100 Freight Brokerage Firms list with $385 million in gross revenue and $54 million in net revenue (14.0% net margin). Logistics Plus has grown into a privately held global logistics provider with approximately 1,200 employees in 50+ countries.
Per Transport Topics 2026, Logistics Plus moves dry van truckload and LTL as primary modes, with active capability across reefer, intermodal, flatbed/heavy haul, air/expedited, bulk/tank, and parcel — one of the broadest mode mixes in the top 50. The company is also a CTPAT-certified customs broker and offers freight forwarding, warehousing, project cargo, and managed transportation services. Erie's geography provides natural density across Great Lakes, Northeast, and Canadian cross-border lanes.
For shippers evaluating Logistics Plus, the strongest fit is multi-mode programs needing global reach — particularly companies with US/Canada cross-border volume, project cargo, or international forwarding alongside domestic US road freight. Industries like manufacturing, retail, food and beverage, automotive, energy, and healthcare-pharma are well served. Smaller domestic-only shippers may find pure-play brokers more focused for US-centric programs.
