LOGISTICS
I have some first hand experience related to international shipping from when I worked at the Fair Trade Coffee Roastery. Before that it was mostly a mystery to me. I was actually a bit shocked to find out how quickly container ships can cross the North Atlantic. I was a bit frustrated at how long it takes for a truck to get across the USA/Canada border.
When I looked at the landing page for Logistics Group International, I was immediately sold on the advantage of having one group handle all the logistics of the various modes of transportation. It was also interesting to note that rail is making a comeback as a cost efficient mode of transport in North America. I assume that fuel prices are playing a role in that. In the corner of North America where I grew up, they tore up the tracks in the early 80’s. I think that was a bit short sighted.
This large logistics group can offer businesses competitive rates on shipping because the price that they pay to carriers is a special deal based on volume business. Their specialty is heavy haul shipping.
