PLS Logistics Services, a provider of logistics solutions and truck brokerage services, announced that it will open a new office in Jacksonville, Fla., on May 31. The new office is consistent with management’s strategy to penetrate new markets and further enhance market share in North America.
“PLS is excited about the opening of our new Jacksonville Branch,” says Greg Burns, PLS chairman. “We feel Jacksonville, with its growing port operations, is a good fit with PLS’ industrial shipper and carrier base. Additionally, we believe Jacksonville has much to offer in terms of sales talent, and we look forward to expanding our presence there.”
The new office in Jacksonville will consist of nine employees from the firm’s location in Cranberry, Pa, combined with eight initial hires from Jacksonville. PLS expects to hire an additional 100 employees from the Jacksonville market over the next two years.
