Bulk Commodities

The transportation and logistics of bulk commodities is a core competency of PLG.  Requiring both an expertise in the products as well as the modes of transport on which they are dependent, bulk commodity logistics is capital-intensive and an area in which PLG has helped dozens of companies optimize and improve.


Competitive Advantage

Often characterized as products in which the cost of transportation makes up a significant percentage of COGS, even a few cents per pound or dollars per ton can mean the difference between commercial success or failure.  PLG helps its clients turn logistics into a competitive advantage through a variety of services, including cost-out initiatives, optimized site selection, transportation procurement, distribution optimization, fleet optimization, and operations analysis.

The PLG bulk team brings decades of experience in the design, implementation, and operation of bulk commodity logistics.  Please follow the links at left to learn more.
