Logistics Services Company
Our Logo
When we hear the word “Logistics”, we all think of trucks, freight, borders, planning, importation, exportation, customs, supply chain, warehouses, distribution, coordination, procurement, material management, and many other words that can be related. We believe that our new logo projects our group chain of “Transportation, Logistics, and Customs Specialists”.
