Pittsburgh Logistics Systems Inc.

Pittsburgh Logistics Systems Inc. (PLS) is the leading third-party logistics provider to the metals, lumber, and building products industries.

Unlike a trucking company or a freight broker, we provide contract transportation management services that enable our clients to reduce costs, improve service, and focus on their core competencies.

While all of our client service relationships are unique, they each contain elements of our core logistics capabilities: Shipment planning (including rate negotiation) Load building, Load Scheduling and Dispatching, Carrier management (monitoring of performance, safety, claims, and insurance) and Freight payment. In addition, we also provide value-added logistics consulting services.

PLS's logistics managers leverage the industry's most sophisticated computer technology (eflatbed.com) to deliver customized transportation logistics solutions for greater efficiency, lower costs and increased control.

This industrial strength application manages over 50,000 web site actions on a daily basis. eflatbed.com utilizes tier 1 technologies including: Sun Microsystems, Apache Web Servers, Web Logic Application Servers and Oracle Databases. The architecture is very flexible and scalable to support the continuing growth of the PLS client and carrier base.

While eflatbed.com concentrates on the flatbed transportation sector, PLS also manages logistical arrangements via rail and barge, with the same level of access to quality carriers.

Whether located at the customer site or at our Rochester, PA operations center, PLS logistics managers support the customer’s total requirements.

PLS is located in Rochester, Pa. and led by Mr. Gregg Troian. Its web site is www.PghLogistics.com.
