Newfield, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/24/2018 -- With more than 30,000 pallets passing through RLS Logistics' LTL cross dock on a monthly basis, and demand rising, RLS has increased the size of their cross dock from 45,000 square feet to 70,000 square feet at their Newfield, NJ location.

"Our temperature-controlled, BRC certified cross dock helps maintain our customers' products at the proper temperature throughout the cold chain. Once pallets arrive at our cross dock they are scanned, sorted and stored until they are loaded and shipped to their proper destination," said Greg Quast, Vice President of Operations, Freight Consolidation. Cross dock services reduce warehousing cost, shorten delivery lead times and increase efficiency.

RLS Logistics' Freight Consolidation division offers two services; the first specializes in frozen and refrigerated LTL shipments originating from the Northeast shipping to all 48 states on a set sailing schedule. The second is a cross docking program. "Between the implementation of ELDs and costly fines from receivers, we have seen our cross dock program grow more rapidly than in any other time in our history", Quast said. He also added "Shippers and carriers from across the country are able to drop off their frozen and/or refrigerated LTL shipments at our cross dock in Newfield and we can then deliver them throughout the Northeast on a set schedule. This allows their trucks to make one delivery into the Northeast and eliminate delivering to multiple consignees, which improves their bottom line".

Newfield, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/21/2018 -- With energy consumption being the second highest expense of a typical cold storage facility, the reduction of waste and the improvement in efficiency is one of RLS Logistics' primary goals. To reduce usage and keep services priced competitively, RLS has invested in a number of "green initiatives."

"We are excited to announce that Food Logistics awarded RLS to be placed on their annual Top Green Providers list," said Tony Leo, CEO/President of the Warehousing Group."Through our implementation of LED lights, sustainable packaging, and enhanced Solar Field, RLS Logistics continues to enhance our green initiatives to help the environment."

After expanding their solar field at their Newfield Logistics Center, the solar field is expected to generate 100% of the power needed for this 255,000 square foot facility. 3,979,800 watts of solar panels were installed in RLS Logistics' solar field. The solar system is expected to generate over 5,700,000 kilowatt hours of AC electricity in the first year.

RLS Logistics also uses LED lights throughout all of their facilities. To reduce our environmental impact and improve the quality and quantity of light for employees at their Pittston facility, RLS replaced T-12 fluorescent and metal halide lighting fixtures with T-8 fluorescents throughout the office space and LEDs throughout our freezer warehouse and loading dock areas. The lighting upgrade has enabled us to shed 127.24 kW from the Pittston facility. The corresponding reduction in CO2 is equivalent to planting 117 acres of trees, saving 48,235 gallons of gas, and removing 75 cars from the road.

RLS also encourages its "green initiatives" to their clients. RLS continues to encourage clients in its' e-commerce business to use sustainable recyclable shipping containers, which has enhanced its client's sustainability efforts, as well as, RLS Logistics.

Newfield, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/09/2018 -- RLS Logistics, a third party logistics company, has reached an exciting milestone as the company prepares to celebrate their 50th year anniversary. Originally founded as R. Leo & Son Mushroom Farm in 1968, RLS has transformed itself into one of the leading cold chain logistics providers in the Northeast. The 3rd generation of the Leo family now run the company.

Rosario Leo and his family emigrated from Italy in 1958 for a better life. "Our grandfather taught our father that with hard work, determination and initiative you can achieve the American Dream. Our father, Anthony, instilled in Tony and I that same mentality. That is what allowed us to achieve this milestone and continues to motivate us to this day." remarked Russell Leo, CEO/President, Transportation Group.

Russell and Tony also attribute a huge part to the companies success and longevity through the dedication of RLS's team members, customers and vendors over the last 50 years. "We obviously have not done this on our own. Without our team members, who are the ones truly providing the excellent service our company gives, none of this is possible", stated Tony Leo, CEO/President of the Warehousing Group.

RLS's future is very bright as it continues to expand its service offerings and locations. "While still very young, we hope that someday the 4th generation will be willing and able to continue the legacy started by our grandfather" said Tony.
