Right from the start, the BlueGrace team has donated immeasurable time and financial support to local charitable organizations. For our primary charity, The Humane Society of Tampa Bay, our team has done everything from donating shredded paper for animal bedding to volunteering at the shelter to holding an annual Cats vs Dogs pet food donation competition. Our staff is equally passionate about volunteer and donation efforts to help the homeless through Metropolitan Ministries. And to share his passion and concern for animal rights, President and CEO Bobby Harris founded the official philanthropy program of BlueGrace, Giving Grace. Long ago, our leadership team realized the power of social media to dramatically improve the way companies do business in the logistics and transportation industry. And we’ve proven it time and again through our open social media strategy that encourages all of our team to contribute to, and grow, our social platforms. It’s the perfect way to keep connected as one, big BlueGrace family despite offices spread all across the country. It’s also a wonderful way to spread the word about the charities we’re so passionate about. We even recognize the most active employees as “social media champions” for their exceptional spirit BlueGrace® is an award-winning, full-service Third Party Logistics (3PL) provider that helps businesses manage their freight spend through industry leading technology with a large network of established carriers to customers across the country. Sure, lots of firms may claim that, but what really sets us apart is our passion to support your success in this complex $750 Billion U.S. freight industry. BlueGrace Logistics announced today that Randy Collack, Chief Strategy Officer, has informed the company that he intends to retire this year. A definitive date has not been established, but the process of filling that position with an industry proven COO will begin immediately. How a 3PL Takes the Logistics Out of Running Your Business One of the first rules of running a business is, “focus on your strengths.” It sounds easy in principle, but for medium-sized companies undergoing rapid growth, it’s often hard to discern what those strengths are when every day brings new opportunities and challenges. Choosing the Right 3PL to Align with Your Business Strategy Most shippers don’t spend much time worrying about who is driving the trucks carrying their goods, but choosing a 3PL with the right carrier network makes all the difference when your business is expanding.
