MEET AN EMPLOYEE

Dave Tangeman joined Logistxs in 1998, having started with the industry in 1972.

Dave T

He spent his earlier years as a District Manager responsible for logistics at Isolatek International. Most work days you'll be able to reach him at his desk & on ext.#10 where he is busy with customers handling quotes, orders and operational issues.

He's married, enjoys his grandkids, loves finding new restaurants in New Jersey with his wife, and collecting Jackie Gleason memorabilia ;-)

We asked Dave some crazy questions:

Q. Bill gates has just awarded you a new vacation home anywhere in the world, where should Bill build the house?
A. Charleston, South Carolina. I just love it there.

Q. What vegetable do you hate, but wish you really could like it.
A. My wife loves to make squash, and I really don't like it, squash would the one i would choose!

Q. What was the last thing you did to contribute to a greener earth?
A. I always use the back of any printed paper for scrap paper, it's a great way to conserve, not use so many post-its, and saves a lot of paper over time.

SEASON'S GREETINGS & BEST WISHES FOR 2011 ! This is the time of year that seems the busiest, both in business and personally. Time can really fly by in December. This is why we all need to slow down and enjoy this special time of year. When you see yourself at times 'going crazy' - stop, take a deep breath, look around, and enjoy the moment. You may notice sights, sounds, aromas, and laughter never before appreciated. Logistxs will be closed for business on: December 24 December 31 As our employees celebrate with friends and family, this season, we know that we have our customers to thank. We all sincerely appreciate the business you have brought to us these past years. We wish you happiness and joy this Holiday with good health and business wealth for 2011. As we continue into 2011 Many of our customers have used Logistxs for a single type of transportation service, specific to their particular need. Some are not aware that we can provide a whole host of services, and have been developing our craft for nearly 25 years. Did you know that we routinely: Move freight in and out of Canada Have a large hand-picked network of carriers Pass our savings along on all your shipments Can handle cargo in & out of foreign ports Can save you money by using rail to move goods Provide web access for your delivery info Have web quote forms available to you Can provide air freighting services Will provide loading / unloading, when asked Have customer service reps available M-F Monitor your freight till it's delivered Analyze your freight bills for errors and savings Add your delivery data to our website for your convenience	At Logistxs it's a TEAM effort! All of the departments at Logistxs work together as a team. A system of checks and balances have been developed over the many years that the company has been in business. Of course the conditions that guide the team are usually in flux so flexibility has been built into the system. Think about all of the changes that have taken place in the transportation industry in just the past few years and especially since 911. It's almost like playing a game while the rules are changing. But never fear, experienced players continue to move the ball, until that GOAL is reached. You can count on the team at Logistxs to stay in the game and make the goals that you count on - every day.
Commentary - A Look At Credibility by John Lavin - Marketing Manager at Logistxs It sometimes happens that a customer will call for a price quote. Seemingly the customer will have all the necessary information about the origin, goods, and destination of their shipment. The move is completed by Logistxs and an invoice is sent to the customer. The customer kindly remits payment. Then by surprise, three weeks later, the carrier sends another invoice to Logistxs for some ancillary or unexpected billable condition. This is where having a knowledgeable broker in your corner, makes it all worth it. Logistxs will usually dispute the invoice with the carrier, fighting on behalf of their customers', rather than just forward the bill on. Unless the customer has provided inaccurate information about their shipment, Logistxs will stand firm on the original quote. Occasionally the additional charge may be deemed fair. It's part of doing business and treating our customers in an ethical way. Logistxs and many of it's competitors, belong to the T.I.A. (Transportation Intermediaries Association) and agree to adhere to a code of ethics as a condition of membership. We take our commitment seriously. We take your business shipments seriously. Logistxs has been such a company, as it prepares to turn the calendar on 25 years.
