Founder Bob Russo purchases his first truck and operates as a pickup and delivery carrier serving the grocery industry throughout New York and New Jersey.
Bob Russo partners with Tony Becker, a friend he met while working side-by-side in a New Jersey National Guard truck depot, bringing Port Jersey Logistics into the public warehousing business.
Initially developed as a transportation solution for shipments from Port Jersey Logistics warehouses to destinations outside of the Northeast region, Continental Logistics filled in service gaps by providing nationwide transportation coverage and enabling Port Jersey Logistics and their clients to grow.
Port Jersey Logistics expands its public warehousing reach with a new public warehousing operation, Tyler Distribution, which today operates 1,000,000 sq. ft. of space throughout Central New Jersey.
As a dedicated warehousing offering designed to leverage our warehousing experience, 21st Century Distribution operates transparently within the business models of its clients and integrates seamlessly with their distribution networks.
Rob Russo, the founder’s son, becomes president, and continues in the entrepreneurial tradition of challenging the 1967 status quo and creating value added solutions that make sense and bring value to our clients’ supply chains.
Port Jersey Logistics celebrates 65 years of integrated logistics services.
Port Jersey Logistics acquires TruckItNow Transportation, a non asset based freight brokerage based in Portland, OR. This adds additional temperature controlled and frozen transportation capacity to Continental Logistics.
Jeff Ramella is named President of Port Jersey Logistics as Rob Russo moves into the CEO/Chairman Role. With Gary Murray and Phil Culotta, Port Jersey expands into an additional facility in Savannah, GA.
